Ordered take out through Grub Hub. My kids love Mexican food, as do I. And as much as I would hate to hurt anyone’s livelihood - this was not a good experience. We got several steak tacos with rice and beans on the side. We ordered them Mexican style (cilantro and onion) and all anxiously dug in when they arrived. When I tell you that we all spit them out simultaneously - I am not joking. My youngest just said “no, no, no, no”.
To be fair I don’t think the meat was rancid - it just was simply the most devoid of flavor piece of meat we’ve ever tasted. But actually worse than that. Hard to put into words.
And please don’t charge extra for hot sauce - it should be included for free if for no other reason than to cover up the taste of your actual food.

This a fantastic place. Food is great, service is astounding, one of the best places to eat Mexican food in Palatine and around Schaumburg.

Good food and service.
Very personable and kind people here. Will definitely come back.
You're better off wiping your bum with the money you would spend at this restaurant; at least that way your money gets some value. I ordered the al pastor burrito suizo and it was a disgusting mess. The meat did not taste like al pastor whatsoever, it was grainy when you chewed it, didn't have that authentic al pastor taste to it, and the other typical ingredients in a burrito did not complement the meat whatsoever. The rice it came with was dry and tasted like the Mexican version of an Uncle Ben's bagged rice that you microwave. Also, if you ask what salsa you want, they don't bother to give you what you ask for, but that's probably a blessing in disguise because the two salsas that I did get did not taste good. To summarize, what I got tasted like food that was about to expire, but they decided to serve it to me anyways to squeeze money out of me. You're better off going to Taco Bell than experiencing this restaurant's disgusting food.

Got an al pastor burrito. The meat was unseasoned and didn’t even taste like al pastor. The rice tasted old and stale. Didn’t even get the salsa we asked for. Sounds wild to say this but burrito parrilla is significantly better and is significantly less money. Don’t know if it’s because I came at 12 on a Sunday but I would not recommend. Don’t know why this restaurant is rated so highly.
Lovely little gem tucked away in a quiet area. We ordered vegetarian enchiladas with mole sauce, veggie fajitas and a few drinks. The food was excellent and made fresh and served piping hot! For anyone following a strictly vegetarian diet, the pinto beans and rice are made without any animal products! This is a rare find for most Mexican places I’ve been to! For drinks, we ordered a classic lime margarita, a pineapple water and an horchata. They were all delicious and served in giant mugs! I would highly recommend this restaurant!

One day, when I was stressed and grumpy, I ate steak tacos from here, and everything was OK after that. Turned my frown upside down into a taco shapped smile. I love this place.
