I love this place so much. The service is great, the atmosphere is great, and the food is SO GOOD. The chilaquiles verdes are to die for. I'm so happy and lucky that such an authentic and cozy Mexican restaurant is near me this far north. I'd eat here every day if I could 🥰

Third time eating here and I absolutely love their food! The waitresses were all super welcoming and attentive!
I had their suadero tacos (and for someone who has had suadero tacos in Mexico) these are so far the best I’ve had in Chicago!
This time I had their suadero tacos chilaquiles and both the green and the morita ones were AMAZING the arrachera(skirt steak) was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was so good!
Definitely up there as a favorite...

I loved eating here! The service was efficient and friendly and they have a HUGE menu! I got the Asada Burrito Suizo which was coated in delicious cheese and a tasty salsa verde. My main complaint with steak is that it can be really greasy and fatty, but it was perfect here. This is the kind of small business that I adore because the food has so much love put into it. You also get chips and a tasty salsa before hand btw! Come here when youre craving a good taco, burrito, torta,...
