“I went in on 2/2/26. There was a minor hiccup (1st one since I've been ordering over MONTHS, so this doesn't happen often) with my order today but when I called the store Jade answered and she was very polite. She handled the manner effectively and professionally! I always have good experiences at this location. It always is clean as well. Jade and her team deserve lots of praise!“

“Estimados encargados de El Solazo: Espero este mensaje les encuentre bien. Me dirijo a ustedes como un cliente frecuente y admirador de su restaurante, en el cual siempre disfruto de una comida deliciosa y un servicio excepcional. Sin embargo, en mi última visita, experimenté una situación que considero importante señalar para su atención y mejora. El día de hoy, martes 26 de noviembre, llegué a cenar a las 8:45 pm confiando en la información publicada en sus redes sociales, donde claramente se especifica que el horario de cierre es a las 11:00 pm. No obstante, a las 9:30 pm ya se estaba anunciando el "último llamado" para bebidas alcohólicas. Además, durante mi estancia, fui testigo de cómo dos familias fueron rechazadas para cenar por el mismo motivo: el restaurante estaba cerrando antes de tiempo debido a "la falta de clientes". Entiendo que puedan surgir situaciones operativas, pero considero que este tipo de decisiones impacta negativamente en la experiencia de sus clientes. Cuando se anuncia un horario de cierre, los clientes planeamos nuestras visitas en base a esa información. De no ser posible mantener el horario anunciado, sería más transparente ajustarlo oficialmente en sus plataformas para que las personas puedan planear con anticipación y, en caso necesario, optar por otras opciones. Por último, quiero mencionar que esta inconformidad fue compartida con nuestra mesera, quien nos escuchó con amabilidad. Sin embargo, creo que esta situación requiere un ajuste desde la gerencia para evitar malentendidos en el futuro. Agradezco de antemano su atención a esta situación y espero que se tomen las medidas necesarias para garantizar que su excelente servicio sea consistente en todos los aspectos. Atentamente, Jesus Jesse Hernández“

“Yesterday was my first time visiting this location, and overall I had a really good experience 😊 The food was super delicious and full of flavor, and the portions were very generous - definitely more than enough to feel satisfied 🍽️👌 I’ll absolutely be coming back again!

One small thing that could be improved is clearer signage. There wasn’t anything indicating that you can seat yourself, so I assumed I needed to order at the counter and wait for a number 🤔 Turns out I was completely wrong, and for a moment I thought I was about to get scolded 😅 The lady at the counter helped fix my order and guided me, and then I was able to sit down.

Aside from that little confusion, everything else was great, and I still really enjoyed my visit 🙌✨“

The whole dinner was great! you can taste the quality of their food and crave more! The owner and staff are so nice and you will want to go back again.“

“Good service great flavors“

“The food was delicious. The restaurant was very clean. Waitress was courteous. The only problem is it was uncomfortable eating as there was no fan for air circulation and it felt like no air conditioning.“

“I went here Sunday for lunch. The food and service was excellent. I had the steak and chorizo taco with rice and beans. Both tacos were filled with meat. Super good and filling. I highly recommend the apple pie. I got the dessert to go and it did not disappoint. It was the best apple pie I have ever had.“

“Thank you Fernando and Ismael at 5 rabanitos!! Great food, great drinks and great service. Can’t wait to go back!“

“After having a disappointing experience at another restaurant, we called Casa De Luz to see if they could accommodate our party of 13. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and efficient. We had no issues with seating, and our orders were taken promptly without feeling rushed. The food? Absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their dishes. On top of the great food and service, the prices were very reasonable, making the entire experience even better. We couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable dining experience. If you’re looking for a place that values its customers and serves fantastic food, Casa De Luz is the place to go! We’ll definitely be back!“

“Un lugar donde la comida es un placer“

“👍👍🌮🌮👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“It’s always an amazing experience when I come this establishment. Every time I go I try a new plate my new favorite is their enchiladas I haven’t been anywhere on the east side with enchiladas that taste like that! My kids enjoyed the outside dining and on rainy days like today even though the inside is small it was spacious. Definitely worth visiting this restaurant they have my family as customers for as long as they are open.“

“🌮 Absolutely amazing food truck!
They serve some of the most delicious tacos I’ve ever had. I’ve tried every single one, and they never disappoint. The shrimp tacos are my personal favorite — packed with flavor — but the tripe, salmon, and steak tacos are also incredibly tasty.

Their nachos are great as well, loaded and satisfying. And you can’t leave without getting one of their horchata drinks… so refreshing and the perfect complement to the meal.

Highly recommend stopping by if you want quality, flavorful food every time.“

“I drove 35 minutes for a birria pizza and they didn't give us the consomme. Food was good though.“

“Let me just start by saying that this locksmith was amazing. He showed up in about 20 minutes after I called for help and fixed the lock on my car door. They were so fast, thorough, and knowledgeable. I would recommend this locksmith to anyone who needs help with their car key coping!“

“SoCal burrito 🔥🔥🔥🔥 @ new Alsip location.“

“Excelente servicio y la comida deliciosa“

“I ordered steak taco dinner for lunch today food was very good .very friendly customer service. delivery was fast.. hands down I will be ordering again..“

“Me encanto la comida y el restaurante es muy bonito!!! 🤩“

“Unbelievably good. The desserts are what they're known for; they used to have knockoff chipotle hot food but recently they changed the menu and everything is AMAZING. Very well made and a very creative menu. Whenever i go in it's not crowded, and it should be. Best mexican food in tinley, and nobody has ice cream and so many different other treats to go with the hot menu.“

“Son Los Mejores Tacos Que E Probado y Apesar de que están Muy Ricos Son Muy Limpios y Te Atienden Bien“

“This place is truly amazing and left a fantastic impression on me 🤩✨. The food was absolutely perfect - every dish felt carefully prepared and full of flavor 🍽️🔥. The atmosphere was just as great, creating a cozy and enjoyable vibe that made the whole experience even better 🕯️🎶.

What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful 😊. They knew the menu inside and out and were happy to give recommendations, which made choosing dishes so much easier 👍. Their professionalism and positive attitude really elevated the visit.

I honestly can’t recommend this place enough 🙌. From the delicious food to the warm atmosphere and top-tier service, everything came together perfectly. It’s the kind of place that leaves you with lasting positive memories and makes you want to come back again and again 💯❤️.“

“Everything was so fresh and good. The restaurant was clean, and the service was amazing! I would recommend any day!“

“🔥🔥🔥 Tacos pura lumbre! 💯% recomendados. Los de al pastor una chulada!“

“It is heartwarming to see a family working hard and earning a living. It is take out only. We had the steak burrito and it was tasty and the meat was in generous portions and it was nice and hot on a cold rainy day. The prices are the best.$9.55 for a steak burrito is unbeatable. I highly recommend this place. Honest and hardworking folk.“

“Absolutely love the food it’s always on point, always super fresh and made with love and care, would highly recommend to anyone (:
My favorite options are the elote/corn in a cup. Chilaquiles verdes & would also recommend the Nacho Supreme!“

“Good food and great customer service“

“This place was so good! My boyfriend, baby, and I came here to dine in yesterday and the food was phenomenal. We were looking for queso barria tacos on google and they showed up. The server was awesome. They didn’t have a kids menu but I asked if they can do rice and eggs for the baby and they did just that he loved his meal as well! The cook even came to talk to us for a bit which I thought was pretty cool…very personalable! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for your service 😁“

“This place is great! Definitely worth a visit. The atmosphere was so welcoming and the staff is really friendly. But OMG the food was fantastic!!! I ordered the Birria tacos with a side of rice and beans. I also ordered a steak burrito with a large Horchata. Everything was fresh and the meat was really tender. I also ordered a strawberry frozen margarita it was deliciously made with a patron sugar on the rim. And yes I ordered tacos to-go everything was just that good! And the pricing was decently fair. Definitely a place I’ll be bringing my spouse for date night and my bestfriend for girls night.“

“had my first experience here on yesterday it was amazing service was great food was great place was large plenty of seats and was well groomed“

“OMG! We found this place on a whim, looking for GF in Oak Lawn for last minute lunch options. Stumbled upon this GEM! I am no vegan, but the flavor profile is so spot on. Casandra was so amazing, putting together a random taco tray that was so delicious! And A+++ for presentation! Thank you Abuelita Coco, we will be back :)“

“Muy buen servicio, el café esta especial (café de olla), y la comida riquísima, lo que pidas del menú está sabroso 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻☕️.“

“A true local favorite with incredible meats.
This restaurant is a total hidden gem. It’s easy to see why the locals flock here—the food is consistently delicious and the service is incredibly welcoming. The lady at the front is exceptionally friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home the moment you walk in. I tried the steak tostada, which was excellent, and both the al pastor and steak tacos were top-notch. If you’re in the area, you definitely have to check this place out. The food comes out very fast, more of a take out spot and eat in the parking lot or take to go, very limited space inside.“

“The service is wonderful and the food is delicious. Also not expensive“

“Finally tried the pizza last night and it was delicious!!!“

“The tamales in this place are very delicious! I have tried dry tamales, soggy tamales, and all kinds, but these hit the spot. They are perfect! Props to the young man who attended me the first time I went. He made sure I’ll want to step foot inside his business again and again. Whenever I drive by, I’ll make sure to stop by and enjoy the friendly service and the delicious tamales !“

“You wouldn't think these tacos would taste good especially since it's right next to a gas station but you're right... these tacos aren't good they are DELICIOUS!! I ordered steak tacos, chicken tacos, burritos,and rice and beans..the food has lots of flavor too!! The staff is also very nice :)“
