The people was very nice ?

Too expensive for the quality.

For roughly four decades this 24-hour restaurant hss delivered high quality fare, nicely presented and reasonably priced. What makes it special, besides the round the clock delivery of delicious food is a menu with excellent Mexican-American fare. Some of my experiences with Chicago's many excellent Mexican restaurants leads me to believe that not all the menu items are perfectly "authentic" but, why give a darn when it's so good? The kitchen is conscientious, the service is friendly, and the parking is often difficult during traditional meal times despite the fact that this is a six corner intersection. I have a monkey for their chilaquiles that I can't shake. That being said, it's worth it if one must feed a meter. If you live within a few miles and don't want to give up your street parking space overnight, you might check the CTA bus schedules since there are three bus routes going this way and that on the big converging arterial streets.
The ambience is characteristic of a no-nonsense diner. Try it, you'll probably like it. And if you don't, there are probably a few dozen places within a few miles, except not at 2:00 in the morning. Arriba! Arriba! Andale! Andale!

I went here on a whim one day - totally blown away. Now I come back at least once a month. From breakfast to steakhouse dinners and fajitas in between - they do it all FLAWLESSLY. Exceptional flavor, always cooked to perfection and served up by kind staff. 10/10 establishment - go support Golden Nugget!

Parking: There’s parking beside the building but those fill up quick during peak hours. On the bright side, the restaurant is surrounded by paid street parking spots.

Normal golden nugget- maybe a little shabbier then others I have been to. But overall service and food is consistent

Food is amazing (steak burrito with curly fries in it as an add-on is incredible) but it's still a dinner and now it's REALLY EXPENSIVE diner food. They've added a 3% credit card fee (all that does is reduce the tip 3-4%) in addition to prices that seem extra high given that recently food prices seem to be coming down.

Last few checks for two people are $75-$85.

Quit it with the fees. Raise your prices and own it.

This rating goes in for the 5-star “dirty diner” and being open 24/7. Don’t expect the greatest, definitely not the worst. Lots of memories here so it’s great to see they are still open.
