The staff is very caring and the food is great as always.
Pork and Salsa Verde and Pork Ribs and Salsa Verde are absolutely delicious! These are favorite dishes. The bread on the Tortas are fresh every time we order.
One of the most authentic tacos spots I've ever been to. From someone moving from Southern California to Palatine, I could attest that this place is hands down authentic. I suggest getting their lengua tacos, tamales, and pozole
