“The food is delicious, well priced, and the people working here could not be nicer. I had Linda Taco Platter and Red Bean Soup. So deeelish!! Highly recommend.”
“Its official this is our new spot, its 🔥, the food is absolutely delicious and the portions are huge. We had so many left overs. The torta has crispy cheese melted on the meat so flavorful, (its perfect, the burritos are so huge they come with rice, beans, meat of choice, cheese, lettuce, tomatoe,(delicious). I tried my husband's which is birria, and daughters which is chicken (delicious) The restaurant is super cleanl the esthetic is nice soft, ambience is perfect soft music and best of all its not over lite, it has nice big windows for natural light. Which is perfect. Its the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and the food is made fresh and on the spot. The host is so kind and attentive, brought extra sauces for us to go and gave my babies lollipops,Parking around building. As I end this review I want to mention that the sauces are so good and elevate the meals to a richer taste. ❤️”
“I absolutely love this restaurant! The food is delicious (and fresh), the atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are so kind and welcoming. I will definitely return!”
“Absolutely loved this place. The salsa is served warm, and has a lovely kick to it. I had the Birria, Pescado de Sur, and Pechuga de Pollo Asada. My boyfriend had the Chorizo, Carne Asada, El Pastor, and Pechuga de Pollo Asada. All of them were fantastic, but the standout to me was definitely the Pescado de Sur. I don't know when we'll be through Chicago again, but the next time we have time, we'll definitely be stopping through here. I cannot recommend it highly enough!”
“Had lunch there this week. The food is so fresh, portions are big, and prices are very reasonable. And I think the man that took care of me is the owner. He’s so lovely and kind. Would absolutely recommend this spot.”
“Really enjoyed these tacos. The meats on the Southport special, carne asada, and chorizo were all very flavorful. Authentic taqueria with very friendly service.”
“4.83- This charming spot is a must-visit! While the chips arrived cool, they were incredibly fresh and paired perfectly with the warm, flavorful salsa—a unique and delicious surprise. Both the red and green sauces were excellent, and the rice was cooked to perfection. The tacos were nearly flawless, served on exceptional tortillas. To top it off, the customer service was outstanding. Great job!”
“Wow this is some of the best food in Chicago, I absolutely love it!!”

After trying their amazing burrito yesterday, my family and I came back today for the tacos and they were absolutely incredible. Fresh, flavorful, and so authentic. We’re so happy we found this place. Definitely a new favorite! 🌮❤️”
