I thought I had my spot in Addison Illinois I'm telling you the Carnitas (roast pork) is to die for full of flavor and the salad with the jalapeño and avocado you guys did a fantastic job thanks for a great meal.

One of the worst experiences I had at a restaurant. Came to this Mexican restaurant with my sister and 2 nieces. Being hispanic we were more than obviously being discriminated. Our food ( fries and 2 burritos) took like 30 min to come out and while another non hispanic family came they received better service. They ordered and got their food less than 10 min and it was a hot plate dish with other items. Other things like getting lemon in their water without asking when I also asked for a cup of water and it had no lemon in it. This happened twice! I had to ask for lemon. I’m not usually one to review a restaurant but this one had careless workers and they all had bad vibes. All on their phone and not picking up plates. Might be because they’re all male workers TBFH! Chips were in a big white bin on the ground. Your receipt is not an itemized receipt so you don’t even know what’s being charged for. Nasty food with a long menu thats when you know it’s not fresh and definitely not following the FIFO guidelines. Go to Culver’s around the corner instead… Better service and quality being fast food…

My family had a bad experience. We had to buy an extra shot for our margarita because it was too sweet. And we had to buy a cup of cheese because the food didn’t have enough even tho we order our food with cheese. No hard feelings tho we just won’t be spending any more money there.

Always good food. I love the white cheese sauce!

I simply don't understand how they have anything less than 5 stars! Such amazing food (and a lot of it) for a decent price! I also love the host, he's always the sweetest. All the waitresses are caring and always have drinks filled. I do think the salsa is a little spicy.
