“They have a wide variety of food on their menu, all freshly made. I've ordered takeout several times and the portions are always very generous. Their prices are reasonable. The place is clean and the cashier is very friendly and helpful.”

“Lots of taqueria choices in the neighborhood and this one definitely gets the job done. Bonus points for being open late!”

“They have good tacos and quesadillas The hours on here are not correct 😕 I wish they would update their hours properly I came today Aug 13 at 1120 and the doors were already locked even tho they say they are open til 2am...”

“I often order from here, food usually doesn’t disappoint, unfortunately today when I ordered for delivery chilaquiles con carne y huevo and carne asada con nopales, the food did not taste good (rice,beans and steak were bland)the tortilla chips for my chilaquiles had barely any salsa most chips were dry and the food didn’t look appealing at all! Really disappointed!”
“Stopped in here by chance during a visit to Chicago last year and I STILL think about it to this day. Best chorizo burrito I've ever had. I can't wait to come back again”
“Had a stage setup and looked like a sound system for bands to play, a pool table in the back, and really good tacos! Would recommend!”
“Authentic Al pastor tacos, lovely staff, great food every time.”
