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!!
