The food was delicious, and it was ready very quickly—under 5 minutes. It is cash only, but there is an ATM inside. The melon jugo was also very yummy!

Have been here many times and the tacos are a standout, particularly the house special (Atotonilco) and the Al pastor. The red salsa on the Al pastor is one of the best sauces on any taco around with a great heat level. and the mix of ingredients, particularly the thinly sliced tomato and onion, compliments the juicy steak on the house special. Table green salsa is also good. Other tacos are solid, but those two are standouts. Tortas also good, and the horchata was nice. Cash only and super friendly staff.

Came here to get some late night tacos after a night out and let me tell you… this place was great! We got the carne asada and barbacoa tacos… 10/10! (They also gave us an extra horchata which was delicious!) The flavor here is on point!

So delicious. We got 4 tacos each they were that good. My favorite was the Al Pastor- super juicy meat and the corn tortillas were very fresh. Rice pudding was also a great way to end :) Best tacos I’ve had in Chicago so far!

Its good. Its really good. Probably the best al pastor tacos. I'm carne asada and tripas guy, but when I come here, I get al pastor. I mean that red sauce with guajillo chili flakes with thick cut, it is so good. Everyone does their al pastor little different and I like this little spice in al pastor. But yes...it is expensive. Taco for these days are not cheap. Its pretty hefty. But you get chiles en vinagre with tacos, and remember, cash only!

“Came here with my kids and really enjoyed.”

Came here with my kids and really enjoyed. It is a CASH ONLY place, they do have an ATM inside. There is a small parking lot next door. We tried asada, barbacoa, and lengua all were great. The barbacoa was a tiny bit salty but the limón helped.

“This place is so under rated.”

This place is so under rated. I once lived in Corpus Christi, TX and saw a box truck belonging to them so I decided to try it just because I saw that truck lol. I was blown away with tortas and tacos. Omg....the shakes! Everyone try this place it is so good and seems like ur eating healthy with the low grease options 🤣😂🙂

We visited here the first time in 2019, we were just walking down the sidewalk looking for a place to grab a quick bite. When we came to Chicago this year, we made a point to travel to Pilsen to get this food again. Absolutely AMAZING food and at such a great price. 3 tacos split between my boyfriend and I was more than enough food, they are packed and so so good! We will always make a point to stop in here when we visit Chicago in the future.

“Self serve service.”

Self serve service. Delicious Apastor and steak tacos. Loved their steak milanesa torta with their delicious horchata. Parking right on the side. Prices are a little up there but worth the price. Cash only!!!
