The flavor profile and texture combination is perfection. I can’t recommend her family-run restaurant enough. Amazing food and even better people. 🩷“

“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.“

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

“Don’t skip on this place! This restaurant is very very good and underrated. Service and food is amazing. Lady that was serving us explained it was her and her family’s business and they are extremely kind and accommodating. It is easily one of our favorite spots. Highly recommend. Enchiladas estilo Jalisco and flautas are my favorite. We can’t get enough! We hope they stick around for many many years to come.“

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

Overall, delicious food, drinks and amazing service! Will definitely come back to try the rest of the Birria menu and a lot more! Highly recommended!“

“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!!“

“Fresh hot delicious homemade Mexican food.“

“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…“

“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.“

“Best underrated taco place ever“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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 ?“

“delicious! Friendly service!“

“Everything very delicious try the quesabirrias!“

“Excelente atencion y muy buena comida 💕“

“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!“

“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.“

“Small business bringing vegan food options to the southwest side! The food is great, and a great place to give vegan food a try if you haven't before!“

“The food and the drinks … keeps me coming back !“

“Love this place! Incredible birria! Try the birria quesadilla and elote!“

“Rica la comida.. el servisio may amanble la mesera... y los presios rasonables..“

“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“
