“Real Mexican tacos! Tacos and tortas are very well served, the people is very friendly and the food was out at a super speed. Restroom was very clean too. The tables and the whole place look a bit old but clean, clean, clean!Kid-friendliness: Our kids love plain tacos but even for the picky eaters they have chicken nuggets, fries, burgers and quesadillas, so I would say it is a very good place to eat with kids. Plus the beverages are delicious.“

“I liked what I tried and would go back to try other things. The Surf n Turf Bowl was the best thing I had that night. I liked the Tenga tacos, but would order them in the restaurant and not to go so they're as fresh as possible. The shrimp tacos were good, however I wasn't a fan of the Carnitas.Vegetarian options: Have vegetarian options.Parking: Limited space to park in front of the place, you'll do better ordering ahead to go, then double parking.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of options for children.Wheelchair accessibility: No motorized doors.“

“So, I was looking for Steak Fajitas in Chicago and decided to try this place for the first time tonight. I took my wife and kids around 5pm and glad I did because this place gets packed fast! By the time we finished, there wasn’t a table available and that’s because this place is awesome. Our waiter Christian was busy but very helpful, our food came out in a timely manner and it was delicious. The best steak fajitas I’ve ever had. If I had any complaints, it’s that they’re so busy they forget the little things about my order like Xtra this and none of that. So, I reminded them and they took care of it. Still, a 5 out of 5 ⭐️’s from me. I will return regularly!“

Food was good bar fare, as is consistent with this destination - served very quickly considering capacity crowd. Drinks were consistent, and available right when we wanted them. Service was exemplary - Angela managed well with the packed house and the boisterous crowd. Crowd was super-engaged, game was a HUGE success! Very festive environment, extremely well-managed by the service team. Recommending as a destination to everyone we know. Thank you!!“

“Baby, when i tell you this place was a 10/10! Me and my coworkers went over for lunch on Friday. The weather was awesome and they had the open windows with a nice sunshine. The drinks were amazing, the food was awesome and the customer service was great. Christina was our waitress and even though she was new, she did an awesome job. My favorite thing had to be those brisket nachos. I literally almost ate the plate. I’ll definitely be back.“
