I've eaten here so many times since 2010 when my brother moved to the area and it never disappoints! It was a lucky find as he was getting to know his new neighborhood and thank God he shared it with us. We've eaten in, gotten take out, but no matter which one we choose they always give great service. I've tried brain tacos from them (that surprisingly taste kind of like eggs), but our favorite is to order multiple pounds of the carnitas. It's SO good!! They give you fresh made tortillas, cilantro, onion, lime, and pico. Sometimes in the summer they have people right out front with different flavored Agua Frescas. If you're going to do carnitas be warned they do sell out, so try to get there early if you can. (Sorry my pictures aren't great this time)

To day 2-24-24 Before 7am the Carnitas ribs were so dry salty and tuff not tender. I know the Grandfather may he rest in peace is not pleased !!You all are bring down his reputation of greatness I am a African American who has eaten at this restaurant for a lot of years. The late 80's Never disappointed until today I threw away $35 . I live in South suburbs to far to return for a refund. No! It's not the same cooks!! No way.

Best carnitas around pilsen not expensive and you are able to eat your food inside the restaurant. It's crowded on the weekends service can be faster if there was more than two registers but the food is excellent!Kid-friendliness: Families are welcome with their children!
The Service Here was amazingLet me tell you, the food was the best. Everything was the best carnitas I've had ever the salsas the tortillas. I mean everythingI'm from FL so it's hard to find anything really authentic but this is the spot
