“I know I have no business in this 97° heat in Evanston. (staying hydrated free) I had to take care of some personal business, and while I was here, I decided to have dinner because I was not cooking tonight. I’m having Chillis SmokeHouse Combos Jalapeno cheddar smoked sausage, brisket quesadillas, chicken crispers, corn on the cob, french fries, garlic bread, and dessert; Cheesecake served with strawberry puree...Excellent Eats! Everyone was friendly and on point with serving the meal. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“What a great place! We tried several dishes: chimichangas, pastor tacos, and a steak burrito, and everything was a solid 9! The only downsides were the lack of truly spicy sauce and the fact that soda refills weren’t allowed while dining in. Other than that, this place is fantastic for satisfying your munchies!“

“They would've gotten a 5 for service, but the cashier wouldn't give me the taco Tuesday deal that was on the screen for 24.99. She argued that it was 30 and some change. And needed to be updated. Either way, it's false advertising.“

“Solid chips and queso (one of the rare spots in Chicago with a decent Tex-Mex style chili con queso). Chicken fajitas were good too. Service was a bit slow, but to be fair it was busy. Only real complaint is that I couldn't get a frozen marg since the machine wasn't working. Based on other reviews, seems like this happens fairly often and something they should resolve. But overall good experience, I will be back. Hopefully I can try the OP frozen next time :)“
