“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 🙌✨“

“Muy rica la comida y buen trato“

“The whole menu is great everything tastes great and great service and it’s in my community everybody needs to taste it ❤️“

“Enrique is a great waiter. He knew the menu and had great suggestions for appetizers, entrées, and beverages. He worked the room ensuring that all of his tables received the appropriate attention and service. The food was delicious and I will definitely return soon.“

“My 3rd time there and had the Chile Relleno dinner.,the Best I ever tasted!!! The sauce they are in is so delicious and the peppers are so fresh and made perfect! 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.“

“Está muy Rico!! Sé Los recomiendo al 💯%“

“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.“

“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!“

“Fantastic authentic Mexican food. Highly recommended.“

“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 one of the best spots for Mexican food 🌮😋! I tried a steak burrito and some steak tacos, and the flavor of the steak was amazing 🤤. Portions were generous, and even though I got my order to go 🥡, the restaurant itself is small, cozy, and super clean ✨. I loved the cute decorations and the overall vibe 🪴🎨. Definitely a must-visit if you’re on the Southside 👍. I’ll absolutely be coming back soon!“

“Un lugar donde la comida es un placer“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I was in town on business and wanted to support a local place. Great decision on my part coming here. I ordered the Walking Taco with Doritos. Excellent! I also ordered some of their strawberry cheesecake ice cream and it was delicious as well. They have a couple of selfie backgrounds and the menu boards are eye catching and helpful. The music adds to to the vibe. Locals must love this place.“

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

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

“Me and my friends stopped by here as a little pit stop to visit a friend of mine and i can not believe how good the food is. The service was amazing and got us our refills VERY fast….questionably fast. But they were all very very nice. Back to the food. Amazing. It was so good that one day we drove 1 and a half hours just to show our peers the deliciousness that was presented before us.

Overall: good place with good food lol“

“Los Friends is wonderful. The food is EXCELLENT and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. They catered our graduation party and several other events for us and every guest raved about how great the food was and how nice the presentation is. Thank you Los Friends!“

“Excelente servicio y la comida deliciosa“

“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 :)“

“I really enjoyed my visit to this place! 😊 The variety of food options is impressive, and everything is offered at very reasonable prices, which makes it even better 💸🍽️. It’s the kind of spot where you can easily find something you’ll love without spending too much. The overall experience was great, from the food quality to the value you get. If you happen to be in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by and giving it a try 👍✨. I’m confident you’ll leave satisfied and happy, just like I did 😋“

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

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

“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!“

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

“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 😁“

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

“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 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 !“

“Riquísimo! 😋 Recomendado!!“

“100% recomendado?? Exelente comida y muy buen servicio.“
