Authentic Mexican food... really good and the service was just as good
The food was ok. I took my family here and can say there is definitely much better Mexican food in Chicago. I ordered a burrito and it wasn’t that flavorful. The service was ok but our waitress seemed a little annoyed. They added gratuity in too. A Plus is the food comes out fast but I wouldn’t recommend. Being in Chicago my standard for Mexican food is very high and this place just wasn’t it for me.

THE SERVICE IS ALWAYS BAD LITERALLY ALMOST EVERYONE HAS A STUCK UP ATTITUDE. IVE TRIED TO GIVE THIS PLACE SO MANY CHANCES BECAUSE ITS CLOSE TO ME AND ITS 24 HOURS BUT THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I WILL EVER GO THERE . THE LADY WORKING AT THE COUNTER WITH THE ORANGE LIPSTICK WAS RIDICULOUS . SHE WAS SO RUDE AND ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD HER ORANGE LIPS DIDNT END UP ON THE FLOOR . DEFINITELY DONT RECOMMEND. EVERYONE THAT WORKS THE COUNTER HAS A PROBLEM EVEN THE SASSY OWNER . ONLY A COUPLE WOMEN THAT WORKED THERE HAD GREAT ATTITUDES (SURPRISE !! THEY QUIT!)

Way better than what I expected. I might have had low expectations since it’s open 24 hours. The gauc was awesome! Steak burrito, can’t go wrong. An “Ol’ Reliable” going forward for sure

Service was slow. The waitress did not check on the table as often as I would have liked. The food was typical Mexican fast food. The only downside was, upon leaving, and tipping relatively well, we were stopped by a waiter and asked "have you paid?" We started yes ask the waitress. He came back and once confirming with waitress we were able to leave. For this reason, I will not be returning. I felt embarrassed and profiled. The wait staff needs to have better communication.

I ventured out against my better judgment, even after Google suggested the place was CLOSED. Spoiler alert: I probably should have listened. Of the 5 items I ordered, only 2 were correct—guess the odds weren’t in my favor that day. I ordered 1 torta, 1 gordita, 4 tacos and a quesadilla.
We got all 🌮 🌮
The wait time? Let’s just say I aged a bit while standing there. By the time I left, I could’ve written a memoir about the experience, titled ‘Why I Should’ve Stayed Home.’
All jokes aside, I hope the team can work out the kinks because I’d love to give them another shot... just not anytime soon. Best of luck, folks! I’m rooting for a comeback."

Pretty sure this mexican restaurant has a roach problem because a roach crawled over my food, it was disgusting I nearly almost threw up. I’ll never come back to this place again. It is definitely not food safe and kitchen is not up to code.

So this is what you all are passing off as Mexican food? I ordered a Chicken Taco Bowl on my 45 min lunch break. Service was nice, decent esthetics. I asked for no beans, so I guess that means I don't get rice either? I asked for cilantro and onion added. And I didn't get that either. Even though it was take out I tipped 10%. The taste of my food was not authentic AT ALL. No Adobo, No Sazon! The chicken tasted boiled with cooked tomato as though it was a fajita. A taco has raw veggies. Why would I think it was cooked?? Including myself I was customer # 3. So needless to say I will not be back, because clearly this establishment does NOT want reoccurring clientele!
