The tacos here are amazing! Every bite was full of flavor and you can tell everything is made fresh. What really stood out is not just how good the tacos are, but also how many different food choices they offer — there’s something for everyone. The service was incredibly fast and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to, and highly recommend to anyone craving authentic, delicious food.

I love this little Nook of a restaurant. They have the best Cecina tacos around that I highly recommend. I come here quite often with friends and by myself, the food gets done quick and the salsas never disappoint. As well as Chile toreados y cebollitas to enjoy with your meal free of charge. Delicious. Definitely give them a try.

My happy place, they have great selection of Mexican groceries, they make fresh chicharones that you can grab yourself, and the taqueria inside there is better than almost any other standalone Mexican restaurant in the Elgin/Carpentersville area.. truly a hidden gem

Tacos, burritos , and tortas here are very filling and you can't beat their prices. Have already gone 2 more times since and will be going back.

Mmmm... Okay... so I'm just sitting here raving about my fave lunch spot here in C'ville. THE BEST tacos (please know this is NOT an exaggeration) and the BEST arroz que te vas a encontrar (that you're going to find) (wait... did my mouth just start watering thinking about their rice?... 🤣 yes... yes... it just did 😋🤭) and all of it at very accesible prices! I just don't know how they do it. I love me this little corner of my Mexico 🇲🇽. God bless them for serving us all so well, and serving us the most legit Mexican food there is! Como le salía la comida a mi abuelita (Like Grandma's cooking) 🥹🥲😭❤️🔥👌🏽🥳🎯🤩

There's a restaurant inside the grocery store. The food is OK. There is also a bakery which is great!

The asada meat is juicy and the alpastor meat is always my favorite. They have a taqueria inside, a panaderia, slot machines, a counter to pay bills and send money out of the country, and an ice cream shop all in one grocery store. It can meet all your needs. Don't forget to order your arrachera from the carniceria you'll be sad if you don't try it.

Went to a function they catered. So I can't speak for the service or atmosphere. I CAN say it was the best Mexican food I've ever had! Especially seeing it was catered! Fresh, hot, not dry. Sauces were delicious, tortillas amazing, chicken and steak weren't full of fat. I met the owners and you can see they love what they do and have pride in ownership. Can't wait to try them again!

The place is very small and lacks cleanliness and there is no place to throw the trash after eating.
