“I’ve seen this restaurant for years (maybe decades?) while going to Napoli’s. It always appears unassuming. A friend and I decided to stop here randomly and boy was I pleasantly surprised! Great service I need to say firstly. Although the laminated menus don’t have prices, the paper ones at the counter do for most items not Market Price. Don’t let this put you off. My meal was $20.99 at time of payment before tip, for seafood. The insane amount of different whole seafood options and steak specialties, the massive colorful platters, the huge drinks… This is a wonderfully decadently-far cry from my typical Napoli’s trip. BUT they still make the essentials like tacos, sopes, and burritos too. I got the Camarones con Crema de Chipotle, my friend got the Chilaquiles Verdes. Both were on MASSIVE platters and was a great amount of food. Seasoned rich sauce, great shrimp, warm tortillas… My friend’s margarita with the Corona took forever to finish and must have had good quality tequila in it. As the meal wore on, the restaurant had more and more customers for a late Sunday lunch. It didn’t seem so empty and quiet as what you see from the outside, and it was nice seeing people coming in. I would definitely come back again or make a pickup order with the fam. Great job, employees!!“

“This place is a real gem, though I'm sure locals know all about it. You can tell that whoever is in charge of the kitchen really loves food. Their tomatillo salsa is delicious, and their mole sauce is unique and tasty. It's a bit of a drive from Evanston, but I definitely plan on coming back here!“

“Thank you so much for your service this last Saturday..... you did an amazing job and all the guest thought the tacos were delicious. Highly recommended“

“I'm glad this location opened. Its closer to home and now I don't have to drive all the way to west dundee to go to the original. great food, great service. everything always tastes so fresh and we've never had anything off the menu we didn't love. I can't wait for summer and hopefully they will have outdoor seating!“

“Food was ok , but they charge 3% even if you paid in cash , and depend what server are there's one of lady that she’s from Colombian , she’s so mean and rude !! And they charge 18% for 4 people , this isn’t right“
