“One of my students invited me to this taqueria and let me tell you, it is one of the best taquerias in Chicago”
I ordered 3 burritos from here and 1 of them was without onions and I got a burrito soup, never had a burrito like this before 🤧🫤.
The food at this place is really good, but damn, the price has gone waaayyyyy up.
Burritos were extremely soggy and the meat was very salty. I got through a few bites and had to throw it away.

“This is the brother restaurant to El Asadero, food is equally fantastic.”
This is the brother restaurant to El Asadero, food is equally fantastic. Asada is grilled on charcoal it’s juicy and perfect. Barbacoa is fantastic as well. Burritos are huge. Guac is perfect. Staff are super friendly.

“Delicious tacos, personally I had the stake and Al pastor tocos, and I’m really happy with my decision.”
Delicious tacos, personally I had the stake and Al pastor tocos, and I’m really happy with my decision. The food is fresh and taste good, service is clean and fast. I wish all the best to the staff! P.S. The tacos have a lot of meat, for me 2 were enough, I felt like I had 4 🥂

“Amazing tacos and nachos.”
Amazing tacos and nachos. The food here has been amazing so far. They also pile on the meat and there’s plenty of flavor in every bite. Their salsas are incredibly tasty as well.

I really wanted to like this place and went here with a lot of expectation based on reviews on Yelp. Vegetarian food here is a let down. Ordered veggie taco, veggies burrito and veggie nachos. All of them had the same ingredients and pretty bland. The man behind the counter was really sweet though!

The food at this place is really good, but damn, the price has gone waaayyyyy up. We got 2 steak quesadillas, 2 chicken tacos (with cheese and sour cream, 75 cents each, adding 1.50 to the cost of each 4.25 taco, making the cost of these 2 chicken tacos $11.50!!) a side of rice, and a large chips and guacamole, total cost, $49. We will not be ordering from here anymore, the food is great, but way too expensive.

“Awesome Mexican food.”
Awesome Mexican food. The pastor and steak tacos or tortas are so good. They are the sister restaurant of asadero on Montrose and Lincoln which I've been going to for 25 plus years. The plus side is they take credit card.

Good prices delicious free chips and homemade red & green salsa that were bomb. TV had played the Simpsons and I spaced out after a long day to some great al pastor and asada.
