They served me a $16 plate that was enough for 3 people, I couldn’t finish it, and the flavor was so good. I ate 2 more times at home and I was full, both times. Definitely going back, I regret not going there before💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯

“I've been ordering from here for five years and counting.”

I've been ordering from here for five years and counting. This is the absolute best place in the city to get shrimp ceviche! Bar none. Get the large or medium to-go (I actually like to take this away more than getting it in the restaurant, it's presented beautifully and feels like the portion size is bigger in the to-go box ... not sure if that's true or not, but feels that way) and it will last at least two days of multiple people snacking on it or even as 2-3 meals. So, refreshing and especially great on a hot summer day! Awesome during winter too- just got some the other night! Other thing I will recommend is to get the guac and mix the light green salsa into it...gives the guac an added little kick of flavor!

I got the chimichanga dinner, and it's the only burrito I can recall ordering that featured dark meat. That and its marinade made for a really good meal.

“I love this spot for tacos and Mexican beer.”

I love this spot for tacos and Mexican beer. Reasonably priced. Nice outdoors seating. Amazing salsa that comes with the free chips to start. An affordable dinner out. If you pay cash, you’ll save a small percentage on your total bill.

Awesome place! Locally owned 💗, two outdoor patios (one in front and one in the back), great food and drinks. Perfect 💗. Our waitress, Ivonne, was one of the most genuinely friendly waitresses we’ve ever had. We had taco dinners- cooked well, fresh ingredients. Cocktails served, as well. I had a margarita and it was delicious ✨🍹 Our main reason for coming was so we could enjoy a good meal outdoors in this neighborhood and be outside with our dog! This place was amazing and we’ll definitely be back. Our dog had a great time, too! Would love to see more locally owned places with a patio in Albany Park. P.S It is not cash only! Our card was accepted!

“Randomly walked in for dinner and were not disappointed.”

Randomly walked in for dinner and were not disappointed! Shared the ceviche camarones and the fajitas mixtos which were delicious and quite large portions for the price. Service was quick and very friendly! The restaurant is cute and clean. We had cervezas but there is also a full bar. FYI cash only. We will be back!

Good value. We ordered a molcajete de carnes for 2 people and had leftovers. The service was quick and they have outdoor seating. Just make sure to bring cash because it’s cash only.
