I ordered a michelada, they brought me a beer, then they brought me back a beer with Tajín only? (Not a michelada) I ordered tacos and they never offered toppings nor salsa. The rice was dry and I question how this food is even selling. The atmosphere was nice. But the food is just not it.

Real Mexican food in Evanston. Solid tacos, and drinks - but my favorite were their salsas, which were bursting with flavor and a decent kick. Runner up to my favorite were their handmade tortillas, which curl up perfectly, have just the right amount of bite, and excellent flavor.

A solid local spot. We ate at the outdoor tables (looks line a temporary setup while Main st is under construction), which was perfect for our group. The portions are generous and I really loved the Baja taco I had. Give it a try if you're in the neighborhood.
