“We enjoyed our dinner tonight. Thank you!“

“This one beautiful place I will be coming back“

“Lu Lu’s restaurant is a GEM! She treats her customers like family and is just the sweetest! The food is always hot and delicious - my favorite is her pambazo sandwich. The flavor profile and texture combination is perfection. I can’t recommend her family-run restaurant enough. Amazing food and even better people. 🩷“

“Amazing food and service!!!! Also call ahead for their sushi menu which is delicious ❤️❤️❤️“

“I’ve been there twice and plan on going more. The food is authentically delicious. If you go you have to try the Birria Egg Rolls,they are delicious. Also I must say even their rice is delicious. While you are there you may want to try their Margaritas. You can’t go wrong EVERYTHING is sinfully delicious.“

“Me and the wife had dinner her for our anniversary. Nice atmosphere. Nice Latin music to match. Brussel sprout appetizer was superb. I had a wood fired ribeye steak. It was good but I had to say I was expecting it to be better. My wife had the Pescado(fish fillet) and she said it was good as well. I don’t trust my wife much when it comes to fancy food cuz she’s a picky eater and is more a burger, pork chop or fish fry kind of gal. Overall it was a very nice dinner for both of us and wouldn’t mind coming here again.“

“I highly recommend the custom carne asada chips (tell them elpotato12 style 😉), the custom carne asada chips were banging and so was the rest that I had. Lets support this new small business that just opened in January and is struggling. 🫶🏽“

“Fresh and good flavor. Not a big menu but burrito was outstanding.“

“Food was excellent. Service was on point. Will be back sooner. Highly recommended“

“Absolutely delicious food! 10/10. Will go back again & again. Had the vegetarian burrito with crema & the bistek a la Mexicana. Both delicious. Ate the flan quickly it was so good.“

“As always Chef Paco and his amazing team never disappoints. EVERYTHING on the menu is phenomenal so you can’t go wrong. My favorite dishes are the Fiesta Mole and Tacos Chetumal. His Tortilla Soup is also the best in the world. Highly recommend this place for the food, ambience and of course Chef Paco! Oh My God!!“

“The food is good, the beer is cold, and the people are fantastic. It’s the people that hooked me on the place. Come on in and see for yourself.“

“DELICIOUS! The best chilaquiles in Chicago without a doubt. I'm from CDMX and they are the only ones who know Mexico. The sauce is spicy, the cream is liquid, the jerky melts in your mouth, all very greasy just like in the city haha.
If you miss Mexico or have never been and want to know what good chilaquiles taste like, this is the right place.

Of course, it takes time because the place is small and there is usually a line.“

“Last week I was on my way to take my son for a haircut and decided to stop and eat here. It was my first time. Service was great and food delicious. I was not having a good day but tried my best to not show it. As I'm eating I saw a man come in. Eat by himself and then left. My surprise when I went to go pay. This man had paid for my food. Who ever it was Thank you so much if this is ever read. That was a beautiful gesture and completely made my day. I got my son his haircut and took him for some ice cream afterwards. I will definitely pay it forward“

“First time customers today. Food was delicious. Served w warm salsa and chips. Steak tacos and barbacoa tacos, yummy! Gentleman at counter very nice. Very cute place. We will be visiting again to try something different. I recommend! Enjoyable dinner.“

“Best I have had in a long time! Fantastic“

“Wow! This is literally what I’ve been dreaming of for this neighborhood. The food is beyond delicious, crafted with so much care and flavor that every bite feels like a treat. But what truly makes this place stand out is the kindness of the owners, the cozy atmosphere, and that incredible feeling of being welcomed like family. It’s not just a meal—it’s an experience of warmth, connection, and comfort. This spot is something truly special, and I can’t wait to keep coming back!“

“Seriously so amazing! Tender juicy meat, good pricing, great portions. Worth every penny!!“

“Good food for a cheap price. I had their Monday special that was a burrito for $5.50. I also like the fact that it's in walking distance from Galloping Ghost, so if you're hungry you don't have to go far to get some good food.“

“Muy rica la comida muy recomendable y muy buen servicio .“

“Great service! Tacos were worth the $2.50 and then some. Great people, really appreciate the effort.“

“Used to come here younger years after hard night of drinking, food was great then and today after all these years later.“

“Modern atmosphere-clean restaurant with really good food. The staff was friendly and takes pride in their food.

Vegetarian options: You can ask for the items to be customized to be vegetarian

Parking: Small parking lot. They share with another business.“

“The food is pretty good, I would have liked some kind of translation understand what I’m ordering. The menu is in Spanish, but that’s it. The chips and salsa are delicious and the sandwich I had was also delicious. My company had a burrito and they said it was very good. Beans and rice should be included with the meal, but that’s par for the course of these days. I also wish they were a little more attentive. You bring me my food I shouldn’t have to ask for cutlery.“

“I decided to try tacos for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the flavors. The burrito bowl I ordered was loaded with well-seasoned meat and had all the amazing flavors I expected from a Mexican restaurant. My wife tried a couple of tacos, one with Asada and the other was Al Pastor, which were both incredibly fresh and delicious. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be returning.“

“Fresh hot delicious homemade Mexican food.“

“Great food and service. Love the homemade tortillas“

“Great people who work here/run the restaurant and phenomenal food! My bf and I eat here at least once, if not twice a week lol“

“AMAZING!!! This restaurant is the REAL DEAL!! My wife and I went there today and we are just so pleased with their food, service, and quality. If you want to eat a great lunch or dinner, don't look elsewhere; Wguacamole is what you are looking for!“

“Una de las mejores birrias que he probado aquí en Estados Unidos. El servicio es de lo mejor,te hacen sentir en casa,ofrecen consomé extra sin cargo alguno al igual que tortillas…“

“delicious! Friendly service!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I can’t stop raving about the experience! From the moment I stepped in, I was impressed by the vibrant atmosphere and welcoming staff. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh—seriously, even the water tasted super refreshing, which is a rarity!

I decided to try the marlin ceviche, and it was a game-changer. The marlin was perfectly marinated, bursting with flavor, and the presentation was beautiful. For my main dish, I ordered the huevos rancheros, and it did not disappoint! The eggs were cooked to perfection, complemented by a rich and savory sauce that tied everything together. Both dishes were so good that I found myself savoring every bite.

I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu. If you’re looking for a great meal, I highly recommend visiting restaurant! You won’t regret it!“

“Best underrated taco place ever“

“The quesabirria tacos were so delicious! The consomé was full of flavor and the waitress and hostess were very nice!“

“Love the nachos! Super yummy and a fun change up for lunch. The staff unfortunately created an uncomfortable dining experience with a lot of cussing and yelling coming from the kitchen. F’bombs about politics and covering shifts made for an unpleasant atmosphere. The lack of maintaining a professional environment or even a family friendly environment was lost today. Sounds like the staff needs a manager to be present. Take your nachos to go.“

“Darn good food. Got chorizo burrito, my favorite, and was delicious. I was full after eating half - I know what kinda man eats half a burrito but I was full and honest in my feelings so accept me for who I am. Service was great. Woman that took my order was nice, polite and helpful. All you need honestly. Restaurants dont need to be fancy if you have good food and food service. In this case both were great. Look it up and swing buy.“

“The food is outstanding! People that I know live pretty far from here. Come here for the food.The only drawback is definitely to find out when they're open. Cause they do have small open hours. But other than that, the flavor and freshness omg yum ?“

“Great food and great service! Sopes are the go to.☺️ But Guacamole is the best.🤎“

“Great little place, great food. Love the steak tacos and burritos .“

“Everything very delicious try the quesabirrias!“

“Hacienda Memos Taco Tuesday dinner didn't disappoint. Simple Mexican menu with a touch of Italian for the neighbors... $1.00 tacos, weren't skimpy. Choice of meat with cilantro and onions. Had them to go and are a great family friendly restaurant. The rojo salsa is the bomb ??? #carneasada #chorizo #alpastor #discada“

“We went for dinner and had a great time. Our server Jonah gave us great recommendations for food and drink. Though they had a giant party going on, we got great service. I loved the tuna, and the drinks were really nice. The carne asada my husband said he probably wouldn't get again but we will certainly be beck.“
