“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“

“The food and drinks were good, the service was attentive and friendly but let the buyer beware! The waitstaff asked: "Celebrating a birthday?" Let us get you some shots! This happened twice however, all the shots ended up on our bill and it was $56 for four shots! Twice!“

“Birria muy buena y Ahora tienen TACOS de Machitos y es de lo mejor que eh probado 💯% , Te mantienen bien atendido todo el tiempo“

“Went on the 28th of July with my X and had some tacos and green pozole omg that pozole was fire absolutely loved it and going back the tacos were on point absolutely delicious. Now the hospitality was off the chart the lady there made us crack up and feel so welcomed thank you all will be definitely going back with the family xoxo“

“Fresh and good flavor. Not a big menu but burrito was outstanding.“

“Oooooorale’! We found another hidden gem! (Well not really hidden, lol) este restaurante está riquísimo! For all of you non-Spanish speakers, this place is delicious! It looks small from the outside, but it’s enormous in flavor! It’s a very cute and nicely decorated place. Staff is incredibly nice and helpful. But the food… it rocks! We ordered the Orden de Quesobirria and a Carne en su Jugo and a Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus water) and a Horchata (rice water). The Carne stew was delicious! So many levels of flavors. The birria was fantastic! Levels and levels of flavor. Will definitely be back for the Menudo this weekend. See you all here!“

“the best food in town 😋😋😋“

“Needed to kill time while my girlfriend's car was being worked on...we saw this place and decided to stop for breakfast.
This is one of those moments where wonder happens when you least expect it!
The diner counter style seating let's you watch all the action. The, obviously, fresh ingredients that were being piled upon my giant tortilla were becoming a Mt Everest size stack and made me wonder if the chef could possibly wrap it up into a breakfast burrito.
She did...and it was amazing!
I could only eat one half.
Air was enormous whilst only carrying an 11.00 USD price tag.
Absolutely outrageous!

I wholeheartedly recommend Santa Masa!

BTW... everyone was so kind and full of smiles.“

“The BEST Chili Rellanos I've had in a long time! yummy 😋. The skinny margaritas aren't bad either. A MUST visit Restaurant. Thank you for living up to and beyond my expectations.“

“I came here to experience the business and food side! Definitely enjoyed Jose the owner. Very welcoming and the food matched the vibes.

MY FAVORITE I’ve tried is the CHICKEN TINGA TACO 🗣️🗣️🗣️ Will be back to try the Shrimp Tacos & Surf-n-Turf Tacos.“

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

“love this place! i order from here at least once a week!“

“😋 muy deliciosa la comida buen servicio les doy 5 estrellas muy recomendado“

“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.“

“Excellent food! Menu is extensive and seasonal to a particularly high standard. Definitely fine dining. It can be pricey to some, but worth it and they do different deals on different nights so it’s worth checking them out. If this venue was in the #Pilsen area, you would def need a month or two reservations. The chef is #Michelin rated – say no more. Highly recommended. Next time in Chi-town I would def make this a stop. #exceptional #FineDiningMexican“

“Love this place! Delicious food, gluten free options, and excellent service. Chef Paco is the best! I highly recommend the tamal de mango!!“

“Soooooo goooddd! Best asada taco I’ve had in a while!“

“Ambiance was fun, yet warm and authentic. Service was friendly and the food exceeded our expectations. We’ve been looking for an alternative to our regular Mexican restaurant. We will return.“

“Excelente servicio la mejor comida“

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

“Terrace Cantina is hands-down our favorite Mexican restaurant, and it has been for years. It’s one of those truly underrated gems that makes you wonder how more people don’t know about it—especially when it’s so much better than any chain restaurant around.

The food is consistently excellent—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish feels like comfort food you crave and something special at the same time. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming, perfect whether you’re out for a casual dinner or celebrating something.

What really sets Terrace Cantina apart, though, are the people. The owners are wonderful, the servers are attentive and kind, and you genuinely feel appreciated every time you walk in. Even our toddler loves it here and begs to go after daycare—which says a lot. They’re patient, friendly, and make dining with a little one feel easy and enjoyable.

If you’re looking for authentic, delicious Mexican food in a place that feels like a community favorite (not a corporate chain), Terrace Cantina is it. We’ll keep coming back—just like we always have.“

“Muy buen sazón estilo Guerrero Todo está muy rico Todo hecho al instante , tortitas y comida , muy recomendable.“

“Good tacos ! The steak tacos are really good here .“

“This one beautiful place I will be coming back“

“Amazing food and service!!!! Also call ahead for their sushi menu which is delicious ❤️❤️❤️“

“Their quesabirria is the bomb!!!!!!!!“

“The ONLY bad thing about this taqueria is how long it took me to realize #1 how close it was to my house, and #2 how DELICIOUS all of their food is!!!

This last summer I couldn't wait to sneak out of the house for a quick taco and a good book and their cute little patio section, which I did every chance I got. The staff are all super sweet. They are a cash only establishment.

My three go-to tacos are:
#1- The Texano - Shrimp cooked with chorizo with cabbage.... the shrimp is always fresh and tasty, and never rubbery
#2 - The Arriero - Steak, black beans, peppers, cheese, and nopales, all a perfect combination with one another!
#3 - The Happy Taco - Pork with onions, jalapenos, and zucchini

My husband loves their burritos, but I almost ALWAYS get one, two, or all three of these options when I go. Two tacos generally fill me up because they do a great job of not skimping on ingredients. The inside sit down area is very small, and looks like it could maybe accommodate 3 people at the window area. Still a perfect to-go spot when it's cold. I know I saw another location not too far away, so I'm curious to check them out as well. I usually walk over, but parking finding street parking doesn't seem to be a huge problem either.“

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

“Cannot say enough positives about this mexican food and seafood place . If you love a fun family atmosphere as well as mariscos ,which are my personal choice of food here this is the place for you. Ive been a frequent visitor since it has opened and the food is top notch .From the owners to the staff they will make you feel welcomed and will serve you with great vibes and care. This place also serves great drinks and always hosts great events so if you are in the area or even outside the area this is a must try . Best langostinos around!!“

“Mejor birria que yo comido“

“Unique outlay of the restaurant, and a lovely salsa when you first sit down!!! Haven’t had warm salsa in a long time. I was also delighted with the cup of soup before the meal!!! Everything about our visit was fantastic. I’m especially glad to support businesses like this one.“

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

“I got the chicken mole torta and a taco Al pastor. My wife got a torta Al pastor and a taco carne asada. Everything was so good - the carne asada had perfect crunchy bits, the teleras had a perfect consistency for sturdy but soft sandwiches that held up with the crema and other juices from the fillings. Very generous portions on the tacos, so much that we both had to take half a torta home as leftovers. And everyone behind the counter was super friendly. I hope they’re proud of their restaurant.“

“Last week I was on my way to take my son for a haircut and decided to stop and eat here. It was my first time. Service was great and food delicious. I was not having a good day but tried my best to not show it. As I'm eating I saw a man come in. Eat by himself and then left. My surprise when I went to go pay. This man had paid for my food. Who ever it was Thank you so much if this is ever read. That was a beautiful gesture and completely made my day. I got my son his haircut and took him for some ice cream afterwards. I will definitely pay it forward“

“The food is absolutely amazing !! My first time trying this restaurant and I will definitely go back! I had a taco de lengua and caldo de res and both were perfectly executed. It came with a small plate of rice as side along with fresh cut jalapeños, onion, cilantro, chile de árbol and limes. Very authentic food with great taste. You gotta try it!!“

“Amazing service and Amazing Birria.“

“Don’t skip on this place! This restaurant is very very good and underrated. Service and food is amazing. Lady that was serving us explained it was her and her family’s business and they are extremely kind and accommodating. It is easily one of our favorite spots. Highly recommend. Enchiladas estilo Jalisco and flautas are my favorite. We can’t get enough! We hope they stick around for many many years to come.“

“We enjoyed so many of the food options! Some of our favorites are tacos, bowls, and burritos! The restaurant is clean and the staff are kind and attentive.“

“Great people who work here/run the restaurant and phenomenal food! My bf and I eat here at least once, if not twice a week lol“

“We drove all the way from downtown just to get tacos from Aztlan Taqueria and it was 100% worth it. The steak tacos are some of the best we’ve ever had. The meat was perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor. Both the flour and corn tortillas tasted incredibly fresh, like they were just made. The salsa was delicious and clearly homemade bright, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the tacos. And the guacamole? Absolutely perfect. No extra salt needed just fresh, balanced, and spot-on. On top of the amazing food, the staff is so nice and truly goes above and beyond. The service made the experience even better. Hands down, some of the best tacos around. We’ll gladly make the drive again! 🌮“

“everything the food just taste good love to eat at this place ...“

“From the moment we walked in we were welcomed by the friendly staff and even the owner/chef came out and talked to us. They really pay attention to detail. It’s a must go.“

“**Update
The chicken pambazo I had from here gave me SEVERE food poisoning!! My husband said after he saw how unclean the kitchen was he regretted going here. I do too as I was sick all night🤢🤮😥

My family & I loved Taqueria El Kacheton! We had the Chorizo & Potato Pambazo with Horchata and it was so good! Our waiter Arturo was sooo nice. Also I love that it just made it easier to decide what to try first! The music & decorations including live plants were nice too. Highly recommend if you're in the area🥰“
