From huge, colorful paintings decorating the restaurant, inside and out, to welcoming people who provide great service, this was... a memorable meal. When we sat down, I expected chips and salsa on the table, which came right away. Then came a huge portionof carrots, lightly pickled, and then each of us were served an appetizer, with meat, potato, sauce, topped with a miniaturetortilla. All that arrived before we even ordered anything. After we ordered, our food came faster than I expected, and it washot and tasty, large portions: chicken tostadas, rice and beans, and al pastor (pork) tacos. Then a free small dessert appearedunexpectedly: little portions of warm rice pudding with cinnamon and a few raisins. What a nice surprise! And the bill ended upbeing less than I expected, even after I double-checked it with the staff to make sure they hadn't left off anything. Nowthat's good value, and wonderful service. Read more

Everytime I'm in town from Texas we make it a point to come have breakfast or brunch since we are a big group. For starters they... give you a small taco and just when your done with your food they give you dessert Rice Pudding. Everything was great. Neverfails or disappoints. Read more

This place was wonderful. We were seated immediately. Chips and salsa were served while we perused the menu followed by a sample... of a pork dish with a tortilla. Our food was brought out swiftly and everything was delicious. When we finished they brought useach a small plate of arroz con leche. We were even more surprised when the bill came out at the great prices. Loved it andwill definitely be back. One tip: bring cash for a tip, they do not allow you to out it on a card. Read more

This place is legit. It has delicious, authentic Mexican food. (My very picky Mexican husband would agree.) The service was also... very fast and attentive. Blanca was our server. They brought us a free taco each for an appetizer! We will be back the nexttime we are in Chicago. Read more

Been coming here for more than 30 years. The tacos de picadillo is my favorite dinner (just had them today), but the steak... fajitas and nachos are also amazing. The refried beans are the best I've ever tasted. You would swear they're made with lard,but they're not. You can't go wrong here. We are always treated treated like family and always leave with a smile on our face.Like many small businesses, Covid really did some damage, but fortunately they were able to weather the storm. Losing thisrestaurant would be devastating. Read more
