“ Tacos are outstanding (1 Steak, 1 Al-pastor). I can only eat 2 of them because they are full of meat. This place never lets me down. ”
“ Great service! Great ownership! Great location! GREAT FOOD! I know many places in the Chicagoland have good and tasty Mexican cuisine, but if you want a little something, "EXTRA" SABOR!!!!! By the way, La Cheeseburguesa; the Chipotle mayo, Chihuahua cheese, pickled jalapenos, homemade pickles, crispy onions, ancho BBQ sauce (don't forget the bacon and/or fried egg ”
“ Strawberry margaritas were the best drink in my opinion. Guacamole is also pretty good. So far all bartenders have been nice even when it gets a bit busy. ”
“ Top tier bartender named Kristen! I ate alone at the bar and she was friendly, gave great recommendations. I know it's a Mexican restaurant and their pork belly tacos ARE amazing, but if you like Brussel Sprouts at all, GET THE BRUSSEL SPROUTS ENSALADA! And add brisket. Or Pork Belly. It's deep with avocado and queso fresco and the pickled onions. The hibiscus guajillo honey dressing is AMAZING and sets it all off so perfectly. They also make their own sour, so get a margarita! The ladies behind me were raving about their Elotes and Poblano tacos and their Chorizo and Sweet Potato tacos. TLDR: Anything with the brisket is good here! Mezcal Margherita is fresh, atmosphere is good, GET THE BRUSSEL SPROUT ENSALADA (with brisket or pork belly) or the pork belly or brisket tacos or branch out and try the Elotes and Poblano tacos. I've eaten in 5 states this week and the ensalada from here has been my favorite meal out of every single thing I've eaten. ”
“ First time here. I had a wonderful time, friendly staff, fresh food, and very tasteful. I got the 3 taco dinner, which came with rice and beans and shrimp ceviche. Great atmosphere and they have a bar. I would recommend and I would return . The one downfall is a 4% fee on credit card use. ”
“ I catered americanos for a party and let me tell you they did not disappoint. I highly recommend the brisket tray/ tacos. They give you plenty of salsa and tortillas and different condiments. ”
“ Had lunch to go today for the first time ever here. Cannot believe it took me this long to try! Absolutely delicious. Pastor, brisket and shrimp tacos were tasty, fresh and full of meat (perfect for the price). Service was quick and waited inside at the bar for our order - very nice ambiance. Will be back for sure. ”
“ Parking around the corner, there’s a few one way streets so don’t miss a turn. Ample and free parking. A group of friends met up for brunch. Nice and quiet atmosphere. Delicious drinks, we ordered a couple pitchers of margaritas. Ordered the taco dinner 18 comes with 3 tacos (you can mix and match), rice and beans. Beans were flavorful. The pork belly taco was my favorite. Delicious, a little crunch but not hard to chew with just the perfect small cut of meat. My daughter enjoyed some guac and chips. Would recommend to come back again. Food is authentic Mexican. Bathrooms are clean and service was fast and friendly. ”
