The food is very good...the service is very good...the detail is the place...the music is very LOUD...basically you have to SCREAM to place your order...in summer it is very hot inside from the restaurant because they don't turn on the air...and in winter it is very cold because they don't turn on the heater either....

Good tastes great! The only problem was I ordered Quesabirrias and they were more like fried tacos. I asked for extra cheese on them and the cheese was wrapped in foil. Traditional quesabirrias have 2 tortillas. I only received one. The cilantro and onions were also on the side. The buffalo sauce was good too.

This is my favorite place in Des plaines! Always the first place I go when I visit home. Their street tacos are DELICIOUS!! Best ones I’ve ever had. I love the steak, pastor, and quesabirria. Enchiladas are delicious too!!

I wanted to eat some chicken fajitas and the wait was more than an hour, and they put all the takeout dishes first, regardless of whether you've already been waiting for a while.

Let me just start with saying if you are looking for a good Mexican restaurant who will deliver good quality service and food then you are looking at the WRONG restaurant! This restaurant I had ordered my food to pickup and drove almost a hour out of my way to pick it up I called and asked specifically what I wanted from them and they said “yes I understand” I pick up my meal the lady who works there has a guilty smirk on her face as she handed me the bag which then I should have looked in the bag but didn't. To then go home and find out my entire meal was completely wrong! Ordered Taquito dinner but then gave me chicken tacos instead with mushy gross tomatoes on it and I asked for birria quesadillas with the consome and they gave me soggy tacos instead and no consome with the order! I rate this restaurant 0 stars! For the poor food quality horrible service!
