“BEST HORCHATA IVE EVER HAD! HIDDEN GEM! Food is very authentic and very delicious!Also very affordable, loved the music they were playing , our server was also very attentive!”
“Fantastic authentic flavor. Note: the meat of the carne asada can be a little tough however I appreciated the fatty parts that balanced it out. Delicious tortillas and hot sauces. 10/10!”
“Loved the veggie tacos! Cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, cilantro and onions seasoned perfectly :)”
“Was greeted with a welcoming hello, the gentleman was polite. They have a full menu all day and they had specials. since I was on the go I opted for tacos de asada and was surprised with how quick he brought them out. Literally it was about 5 minutes, I got skeptical. Boy was I wrong. The meat was so flavorful and the salsa was so good the red one is spicier than the green one. Can’t wait to try more stuff.”
“Great little taco place. The guy working there was like the most friendly person I've ever met. Salsas are both tasty and spicy. Burrito is pretty good Rice was a little light on flavor, some salt help, and the beans were good. Really good music playing in the back”
“Visited this place on a freezing day in chicago.. but the food and atmosphere kept us very warm ! What a delicious way to spend a chilly night.. definitely recommend and will be coming back !”
“wowza!!!!!! Ok let me just start by saying the rice and beans were so good that I ate all of them before I even cut into the chicken burrito. They were both perfect textures, temperature, flavor, and saltiness level. The burrito was delicious, too - they fill it with pulled chicken, lettuce, tomato, beans. My partner got the chicken fajitas, which had fresh grilled veggies and chicken, along with rice and beans and a salad. It was tasty - especially the green peppers. Oh and the green sauce on the table is so good!!!!! Def gonna be back for all of these things.”
“Portions were good Flavor on point Sauces were nice and spicy Horchata nice and sweet Chips were a bit stale, but overall good food”
“The food is good. I just wish that everything was evenly distributed over all the chips in the nachos. Once you get past the top layer of meat and cheese you're left with just chips.”
