Wish they stayed open late like back in the days. Food super good, service good 👍🏿.
I cannot believe I’ve lived around the corner from this place for years and never went here.
I could eat these tacos every other day.
Best breakfast burrito I’ve had in the city.

“Great food, large portions, great price.”
Great food, large portions, great price. We ordered 2 hamburgers and 2 carne asada bowls with large fries. Everything was delicious! We also come with dietary restrictions and we're able to accommodate our orders to meet our needs. Thank you!! I highly recommend this place.

“I am obsessed with this place.”
I am obsessed with this place. I have loved their tacos, quesadillas, and tortas for the last few years. However, now I’m here several times a week since they brought Mr.Gyros. I used to love their gyros when they were on Division, and when they brought it here I was overjoyed. The gyros are fantastic, with the best tzatziki in all of Chicago. But I have also found the new love of my life, their Polish sausage. I’ve never been crazy about them from other places, until another customer recommended I try it here one day, changed my life! I crave it at least two or three times a week. Sooo sooo delicious!

“Stopped for a quick bite today.”
Stopped for a quick bite today. Just a couple tacos. No frills, just meat onion and cilantro. One steak and one carnitas. Both tasted great. 4.25 a taco so theres cheaper out there but not bad value for the area. Quick service. They have a small dining area. Very clean. 👍

“Don't blink or you'll drive right by.”
Don't blink or you'll drive right by! It's the best, most filling taco dinner you can get in a hurry in Old Town! The carnitas are 🔥 and the rice and beans ensure you're entirely satiated!

“The cleanest taqueria I have ever been to.”
The cleanest taqueria I have ever been to. They take such pride in their establishment and the food is a direct reflection. We popped in for some late afternoon taco fuel and most certainly will be back. Friendly and spectacularly delicious. Had the chorizo, pastor and carnitas tacos. Both hot sauces delicious too. The red one has a mellow sneaky spice.

“I order food from here allllll the time.”
I order food from here allllll the time. A bunch of my coworkers also started ordering once they found out they do platters and serve amazing portions for the price. The food is delicious every single time, they always are super fast, so so so kind, and I haven't once had an order made wrong. This is a hidden gem of a restaurant, absolutely. 🎊

“Amazing tacos al pastor.”
Amazing tacos al pastor. Even has the pineapples in them. Tortillas taste like fried carnival bread.

Love this place. Walking distance from my apartment and whenever I feel hungry I just walk here to try Tacos, Tortas, Burritos. You can also get few drinks, desserts and sides. Always busy and very popular small Mexican Restaurants. Everything I have tried so far has been delicious. You can also check out their dinner combo options.
