The place to go in Pilsen!!! Look at the seafood soup! It has crab legs in it too and a lot of clams and mussels. The lengua beef tongue is amazing too. Very accommodating to allergies. There is both indoor and outdoor seating.

We loved their tacos. We tried asada, lengua, cecina and tripitas doradas and they were all so good. My son tried the carne en su jugo and he loved it. We also had a guacamole and it was a generous portion and it was freshly made. Food took a little long but the freshness made the wait worth it! Their service was also great!

I used to love this place. Like a lot. I still like it because the staff there are so friendly but the quality of the food has really gone down. I'm not sure if they use different meat or work with different chefs but the last 2 times I've eaten here I really disliked it. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll come back. Tacos aren't cheap.

Went with a bunch of friends. They pretty much forgot about me + my order until all my friends were done eating. Finally, they asked me if I had received my food yet (I hadn't). Eventually they just gave it to me in a to-go bag. When I asked what happened, they tried to blame me by saying I should have checked in more frequently. They offered no discount/refund.
Also, the food I ordered (huevos Mexicanos) wasn't even very good.

I can say the steak burrito was good but as far as the service I had to keep asking for things the server should’ve given to me with my food. The water taste like it wasn’t clean water. I liked the set up though it was giving good vibes until I seen that I needed to bring my own water.

The house salsa that comes in a separate dish is phenomenal. I would put it on everything.

This place is disgusting. First off, the steak isn't even carne asada. They charge you $8 for chips and salsa when you dine in. Who has heard of that. Who also puts quest fresco in a burrito instead of chihuahua? The sope was hard as a rock. Please do not eat here. Im warning you save your money and your stomach.

They did not tell us that the pico was 10 bucks after offering it to us. There was also an unexpected 20% service charge that they did not bother to tell us until we got the receipt. Never going back

Aidan Abel

Very disappointed. I understand they charge for extra chips, but $10 for it with no explanation on pico being an upcharge is rather ridiculous. They also charged a 20% gratuity without telling us anything. $130 for 4 dinner meals is horrid. Not coming back.
