“Thank you Fernando and Ismael at 5 rabanitos!! Great food, great drinks and great service. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The best birria I have ever eaten in my entire life. I've just been there for the first time and it's simply incredible. From the first place, I was involved in something difficult to explain, so many years passing and never having given them a chance or knowing the goodness of their food.“

“The carnitas from Uruapan are nothing short of amazing! The tender, juicy pork is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, offering a melt-in-your-mouth experience. The flavors are rich, with just the right amount of smokiness, and the toppings of cilantro, onion, and green salsa add a fresh, vibrant touch. The tortillas are soft and warm, making every bite a true delight. If you're a fan of authentic Mexican carnitas, Uruapan is definitely a place you need to try!“

“Estimados encargados de El Solazo: Espero este mensaje les encuentre bien. Me dirijo a ustedes como un cliente frecuente y admirador de su restaurante, en el cual siempre disfruto de una comida deliciosa y un servicio excepcional. Sin embargo, en mi última visita, experimenté una situación que considero importante señalar para su atención y mejora. El día de hoy, martes 26 de noviembre, llegué a cenar a las 8:45 pm confiando en la información publicada en sus redes sociales, donde claramente se especifica que el horario de cierre es a las 11:00 pm. No obstante, a las 9:30 pm ya se estaba anunciando el "último llamado" para bebidas alcohólicas. Además, durante mi estancia, fui testigo de cómo dos familias fueron rechazadas para cenar por el mismo motivo: el restaurante estaba cerrando antes de tiempo debido a "la falta de clientes". Entiendo que puedan surgir situaciones operativas, pero considero que este tipo de decisiones impacta negativamente en la experiencia de sus clientes. Cuando se anuncia un horario de cierre, los clientes planeamos nuestras visitas en base a esa información. De no ser posible mantener el horario anunciado, sería más transparente ajustarlo oficialmente en sus plataformas para que las personas puedan planear con anticipación y, en caso necesario, optar por otras opciones. Por último, quiero mencionar que esta inconformidad fue compartida con nuestra mesera, quien nos escuchó con amabilidad. Sin embargo, creo que esta situación requiere un ajuste desde la gerencia para evitar malentendidos en el futuro. Agradezco de antemano su atención a esta situación y espero que se tomen las medidas necesarias para garantizar que su excelente servicio sea consistente en todos los aspectos. Atentamente, Jesus Jesse Hernández“

“Mariscos San Pedro has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants. The tuna tostada is amazing, definitely do the otoro upgrade. You can’t go wrong with any of the whole fish options, each are so flavorful and tender. The cocktails are really great and they have half priced bottles of wine on Mondays. I was hesitant but one of the chefs was explaining the Sonoran hot dog, and I️ couldn’t resist, it was amazing. They recently launched their brunch menu too and they have a lot of great selections and the pastries are incredible“

“Muy rica la comida y buen trato“

“Great place nice set up in the inside everyone there very friendly the owner is really cool dood I highly recommend this place“

“I don't even know where to begin. The service is always above and beyond awesome (♡ Ruby and Dahlia)! This is a family owned business (and owner and family are always there working their butts off and checking to see everyone is happy) and it is obvious that they take pride in what they serve and they really appreciate their customers. I have ordered many different dishes from the menu and everything is always delicious and hot and cooked exactly as I ordered. The margaritas are top notch. My absolute favorite is the cucumber magarita. Make sure to try their tableside guac...so good!!! Carne Asada is excellent. I hesitate to share this review because I'd love to keep this hidden gem all to myself but some things just need to be shared with the world. You're welcome!!!“

“As Islanders living here, this place is a piece of of home. Onolicious grinds!“

“100 % recomendable El menudo una Bomba de sabor me transporto a mi lindo Michoacan todos muy amables Senor Sergio siempre atendiendo a sus clientes humilde y sencillo Familia Reyes Chavez de Chupicuaro siempre apollando Buena comida de los pequenos negocios Saludos“

“This one beautiful place I will be coming back“

“I went here Sunday for lunch. The food and service was excellent. I had the steak and chorizo taco with rice and beans. Both tacos were filled with meat. Super good and filling. I highly recommend the apple pie. I got the dessert to go and it did not disappoint. It was the best apple pie I have ever had.“

“$4.75 for a taco might seem expensive, but it’s actually a great value - These are absolutely massive tacos with rice & beans on them and the meat is higher quality than almost anywhere else.

Their flavors are also really unique. The lengua tacos are amazing and have a delicious hearty/savory red sauce on them.“

“La flautas queso fundido“

“the best Taco of Al Pastor I've ever tried and phenomenal service . I'll be back !“

“Mejor birria que yo comido“

“Está muy Rico!! Sé Los recomiendo al 💯%“

“Darius and Ivan took great care of us. We had Jarabe bring a truck for a work event and everything was fabulous. We can't wait to work with you all again!“

“Son Los Mejores Tacos Que E Probado y Apesar de que están Muy Ricos Son Muy Limpios y Te Atienden Bien“

“Ordered the pork pupusa and the revuelta/mixed pupusa. Both were fire. The food was hot and fresh. I had 3 salsas to try and all of those were good as well. The passionfruit and dragonfruit lemonade agua fresca flavors are spectacular. The prices and customer service are excellent. They def value their customers. I look forward to coming back!!“

“Great food … reasonable prices. One of your favorites“

“Amazing tacos! Heard the owner came from Atotonilco Taqueria, so I knew I had to try it and I’m glad I did! Carne was nice and soft, salsa spicy and flavorful, and I asked for the tortilla crispy and it was perfect! And the tacos survived an hour drive home, so I can only imagine how they would taste fresh!“

“Came here on a Sunday afternoon and the carnitas were absolutely delicious. I also had the frijoles fritos, agua de horchata, and their salsas and they were all absolutely delightful. I'm originally from Michoacán and these carnitas remind me of the taste from back home. I've had a couple different locations from Carnitas Uruapan and they've both been great.“

“Let me just start by saying that this locksmith was amazing. He showed up in about 20 minutes after I called for help and fixed the lock on my car door. They were so fast, thorough, and knowledgeable. I would recommend this locksmith to anyone who needs help with their car key coping!“

“Used to come here younger years after hard night of drinking, food was great then and today after all these years later.“

“DELICIOUS! The best chilaquiles in Chicago without a doubt. I'm from CDMX and they are the only ones who know Mexico. The sauce is spicy, the cream is liquid, the jerky melts in your mouth, all very greasy just like in the city haha.
If you miss Mexico or have never been and want to know what good chilaquiles taste like, this is the right place.

Of course, it takes time because the place is small and there is usually a line.“

“The food was delicious. The restaurant was very clean. Waitress was courteous. The only problem is it was uncomfortable eating as there was no fan for air circulation and it felt like no air conditioning.“

“Son Los Mejores Tacos Que E Probado y Apesar de que están Muy Ricos Son Muy Limpios y Te Atienden Bien“

“Out of many places in Chicago this one I feel deserves 5 stars and it's not because it was a first time try. Been seeing this shop for 4 years and every weekend I've gotten 2.5lbs of savory carnival with a pound of chicharron. Of course get rice and the green sauce ?“

“Friendly staff Food came out fast and everything was amazing. 10 out of 10 recommend“

“Absolutely delicious food! 10/10. Will go back again & again. Had the vegetarian burrito with crema & the bistek a la Mexicana. Both delicious. Ate the flan quickly it was so good.“

“Best I have had in a long time! Fantastic“

“el servicio y la comida son frescas y fe primera calidad“

“I pass by the tamale lady every day and I believe she closed down her shop since they’re moving locations. Going East on Cermak I saw a new storefront with the tamale lady logo. I don’t see any updates online but I’m sure that explains why they haven’t been selling.“

“If you want a legit Mexican spot this is it. An amazing crew is here to help you with the dishes and authenticity of Mexican cuisine. They literally have every dish here. There's also a huge family atmosphere here, with employees hugest long time guests and giving out free food to the homeless after hours. Overall, this resturaunt is the epidamy of Mexican cuisine. Although the food is made more of a fast food style rather than a resturaunt, it's still great food. 9/10. :)“

“5 star service Authentic Mexican Food The tamales are absolutely amazing I’ve been here several times and it’s amazing every time.“

“I ordered 3 tacos 🌮. One barbacoa (juicy), Asada (nicely seasoned), and lengua. The lengua tacos were by far my favorite. The tacos were nicely packed. I also ordered a Gordita de Chicharron en salsa verde. The pocket was nice fried and a bit crisp, the salsa had good flavor, it wasn’t spicy but it gave a nice little numbing sensation, but the gave me all carne massisa and I like more cuernito or pork belly. I’ll give this place a 7 out of 10. I’ll come back.“

“Me encanto la comida y el restaurante es muy bonito!!! 🤩“

“Best tacos around hands down!“

“Food is delicious, we ordered chilaquiles rojos and everything was so tasty. Also excellent service.“

“Excelente servicio la mejor comida“

“Love the food but especially love the service
My family came and dined in had a wonderful experience. The hostess who took our order also served us our food pleasant and attentive
One of the Best taco spots in Chicago
Definitely Recommend“

“Riquísima la comida y los dueños súper amables, me fascinó“

“I tried the arrachera taco and it was soooo good. The taco has rice and beans and a large portion of arrachera. I gave service 2 stars because it took so long, but in their defense they are really busy. Its also very smokey inside from the grill, so I took my food and walked half a block to St. Paul's church and ate them outside on the picnic tables they have set up. Will definitely go back to try the tacos de carne asada.“

“Great place and nice people“
