El Chisme Express is a hidden gem in the neighborhood. I ordered the Super Pack—whole chicken, rice, beans, fries, guacamole, grilled chiles, chips, and a 2-liter soda. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the sides were spot on. The fries were crispy, and the guacamole had just the right kick. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely my go-to spot for a hearty, satisfying meal.

El Chisme Express in Chicago's West Lawn neighborhood is a reliable spot for flavorful Mexican comfort food. Their rotisserie chicken is a standout—tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The Super Pack, which includes chicken, rice, beans, tortillas, grilled jalapeños, grilled onions, and guacamole, offers great value and is perfect for sharing. While the atmosphere is casual and family-friendly, the service can be a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, it's a solid choice for satisfying Mexican fare.

First time having food from here and the first time I ever felt the need to leave a review. If you haven’t tried El Chisme Express yet, you’re seriously missing out. Their food is packed with bold, authentic flavor, but the real star of the show? The rotisserie chicken. It’s phenomenal — juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to absolute perfection. You can taste the love and care that goes into every bite. The crispy skin and tender meat are a match made in flavor heaven. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or ordering a full meal, El Chisme Express delivers every time. Friendly service, generous portions, and food that hits the spot — this place is definitely a local gem. Highly recommend.

Very bad attitude. They charge $2 to use a card and they don't warn you!

My daughter and I try new restaurants around the Midway area once a month. When we walked into El Chisme, we felt great energy instantly! Friendly Staff, happy customers, mouth watering aromas, and many smiling faces. Come to find out, they're known for their rotisserie chickens. AMAZING!!!!!!! We both ordered burritos to eat IN the restaurant and a whole chicken to go. Chips, homemade salsas, guacamole, beans and rice all made to order. I think we found our GO TO stop. Thank you Alex for the hospitality and conversation
Terrible, they don't send the complete orders and they still get angry, the truth is very bad service and even more so the one who takes the food orders as if they were giving them to us, fucking ugly attitude

This mother Tucker didn't give me my complete order. I ordered I chicken pack and came home open the bag and there was no chicken.
