They set up a taquiza in my backyard on 5/31/26 for 50 guests. Excellent all around. Set-up, service and take-down went smoothly and everyone was so happy: steak, chicken and al pastor from the trompo. They included colorful tablecloths and ollas de barro for the onions, cilantro, limes, sliced jalapeños w grilled onions, arroz, frijoles, 3 salsas, and even tortilla chips! Plates, napkins, cutlery was also included, I could just relax and enjoy the party.

This place is amazing and worth the price😁! I saw lots of videos about this place being a Mexican buffet for $19.99 all you can eat. So I waited and waited and finally and the chance to come by around 11:30 am! La señora up front was so sweet and communicative about the buffet and offered me some quesadillas and tortillas! I felt like I as at home. The food is very delicious and authentic! I can tell they worked so hard to make all of this happen (images below) Overall, this place is a must visit, especially for the holidays. I wish this place the best and hoping they stay in business! I left a thank you note to show my appreciation for being hospitable to the community! Thank you ♥️

I’ve tried a lot of different Mexican restaurants in Chicago and I mean a lot. This place is number 2 now on my list. Out of respect I won’t name my first but this place is actually really really good. I promise the flavors and authenticity is there. Definitely be back soon!
