“Keeps getting better every time I go! We sat outside this time. Beautiful setting and music. We decided to try the tamales. We ordered a taco dinner and shared to have both. Their soup was navy bean and it was delicious! I keep coming back. Their soups are homemade and are not salty. Good value for the lunch special.!”
“I've received this place before and nobody complained , everyone went back for more”
“Amazing customer service and awesome menu. The chips and salsa are fresh and the bar has so many drink options. I loved my chile rellenos and the beans were so flavorful. I scraped my plate. Fantastic all around. Shoutout to the great wait staff and whoever is running the kitchen. Will be back!”
“Excellent food, drinks and service. This has been our go to spot for Mexican food for several years. They have a wonderful patio to dine on in the warm months as well. Carne chihuahua pictured.”
“Excellent location with nice interior and low lit vibes for a chill intimate setting. Great food got the tacos u can choose flour corn or hard shell. Great food and great vibes!”
“Was not a fan. Food portions were massive, plenty of salt...but little more than that. My coworkers and I went there for lunch. One guy working the front so he was over worked. Ordered lunch portions of most items, they could've fed me for 3 days with what we had in left overs. Inexplicably...🤷♂️ EVERYONE had to run to the restroom within a couple hours of eating. My coworkers sent me texts, "we're not feeling well"”
“Support this business 👍! Owner and staff cook delicious food and are kind people that care about the community.”
“Best Mexican restaurant in the area of Elk Grove and Arlington Hts. Food was so good, service, reasonably priced dinner. We will be back”
“Our first time here. ABSOLUTELY LOVED It!! Ignacio, our server was very friendly and helpful and explained the preparation of some our dishes. Great flavor. The restaurant is family owned. Great atmosphere. Music is playing but is soft and you can enjoy the conversation and your company.”
