“The chilaquiles were crunchy and had a good amount of mole. The meat was just how I asked for it and the service was great. The gentlemen that served us was very friendly and attentive. Overall it's a nice spot for a good meal.”

“Did we just become best friends? YUP! 😅 I found this gem hidden in a small strip mall in waukegan Illinois. I make it my goal to try small Mexican restaurants across the US and this is BY FAR the best Al Pastor Taco Dinner I've had IN THE UNITED STATES. The only downside to this place is I don't think I can continue my quest to try as many as I can because now, I only want Tacos el Durango! Great job, guys!”

“Amazing authentic mexican restaurant. Great customer service. No fountain drinks. Limited parking because of neighboring businesses.”

“I had the combination plate of taco, enchilada, and some cheesy thing. Included rice and beans. I only ate half of it because it was quite filling. It was very tasty and made with a unique flavored sauce. This place is a hole in the wall and a gem to be found and enjoyed. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. Oh, they have the Mexican Coca-Cola with cane sugar. I recommend checking it out”
