I have eaten there a couple times this week. Love the food and the service great. It's a small space, 7 tables and maybe six stools at the bar. The complimentary refried beans and chips were good and hot. Green and red sauce on the table. Great lunch for the price.
The best pastor tacos in the world (at least my world). All their tacos are delicious and so are their quesadillas which is what i usually have, but their Pastor is most definitely made to perfection, the way pastor is supposed to taste. Their salsas, chips and bean dip are delicious also.

I had been going to eat there as a kid and loved their food, but moved too far away to visit often otherwise I would be there at least once a week. I just love this place, brings back...read full review
The food is always very good and filling. The menu is affordable. The people are very nice and welcoming. It is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago.
