“Date night with the partner, and this is our go to spot. While here tonight we witnessed the Manager on Duty handle what I would call a “Karen” quite skillfully. I’m very impressed with their level of patience, and dedication to the job. I have to say I wanted to intervene on their behalf and tell this crazy white lady to chill, but they were amazing and didn’t need any assistance. This person deserves some recognition for dealing with that mess. In short, this place is awesome. Staff are always friendly, and even IF there is an issue they are quick to fix it. 10/10“

“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.“

“Overall Thoughts: I ordered pickup from Mixteco Grill, and not only does the food come out within minutes, it’s also strikingly delicious, flavorful, and priced fairly. When you order pickup on their website, you can also opt to use either their 10% coupon or spin to win a free appetizer. I’m generally not a big takeout person, but this is definitely a top spot that I’ll order from again in the future-- I’m eager to try more of their menu!Food I tried:- Craft Taco Lunch Special— Baja Fish & Grilled Shrimp Tacos (4.7/5): These 2 tacos were fire. The sauces were sharp and creamy, and the fish/shrimp were fresh, bursting with flavor, and really just melted in the mouth.- Tofu Fire Quesadilla (4.7/5): Although I can’t say I’ve had too many quesadillas in my life, this was among the best I’ve ever had— especially for a tofu quesadilla, which is rarely amazing in my experience. This tofu was well-seasoned though, and packed with rich, savory flavor.—Price (relative to peers): 4.3/5Food: 4.7/5Ambience: N/ATakeout Overall Value: 4.6/5“

“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!“

“We reserved a table to watch the NCAA Football final matchup. We booked it a week ahead of time. Everything was held as expected, and we received an ideal table. 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!!“

“My friend and I sat at the bar and our bartender Ale and the manager Kyle made our time there so much fun. We had amazing fresh fruit margaritas, which were delicious and the manager Kyle stopped by to make sure everything was great a couple of times. You could see him walk the room to greet all of the other guests in the bar area which was really nice to see. It's just a friendly atmosphere and we definitely will be coming back!“
