This was an excellent first-time experience! We were initially recommended to visit for the pozole, but unfortunately, they had sold out for the night (be sure to read until the end). Instead, we opted for the chicken fajitas and pork stew, which were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the staff were incredibly attentive and helpful. It's truly an amazing and authentic restaurant. To top it off, the owner found out we had wanted pozole and generously offered us the last portion he had set aside for himself—completely free of charge! How incredible is that? I'm also excited to try the new Italian fusion dishes they've mentioned adding to their menu. This place is truly the best!

I wish I had visited here sooner! Awesome authentic Mexican food! For the first time here, my wife got the chicken flautas, I got chicken enchiladas with mole sauce.

The food was great! Tasty & fresh! They have some drink options as well, so we had some wine and beer.

Service was very friendly & attentive. We will be back!

This place is a gem! My husband and I are not from the area and we happened to stop in while running errands and we had such a great time. I believe it was the owner who we chatted with for a while, he was so kind and hospitable. The food was excellent, the margaritas were just what we needed---10/10 experience. Even though we live in the city, we plan to head all the way back there one day soon because it was that great of an experience.

The food was alright and was prepared fast (which was probably also because we came for lunch takeout during a slow hour that day, 1 pm-ish). The portion size was pretty large too. The food doesn't stand out, but it was filling and tasty. I would come back.

Vegetarian options: Not many options, but you'll probably find at least 1 option you want to eat.

Love the service and atmosphere here!! Can't speak for authenticity, but I'm always 100% satisfied whenever I eat here.

Great big portions for very reasonable prices. I usually either get a burrito or tacos of some sort. All the meat options are solid. If a little dry, try out their sauces. The green one is my favorite.

Just had some tacos at the Hoffman Estates Independence Day festival (drone show night). YUM! Now I have to make a point of getting back to their home location sometime soon for a full meal and a margarita!

We went there for lunch after reading really good reviews. The food, service and overall vibe was fantastic. The owner/manager was very attentive and made sure we were having a great experience. We would love to come back when we are in the area again.

Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free and felt good after eating the food.

My mother in law ordered the al pastor sope dinner and I got the Mexican pork stew. Everything is always fresh and that sauce on the pork stew was the best I've ever had. It's been a while since we've been here but whenever our family gets together we always love coming here in a big group. Everyone is so nice, and the food is always incredible. I don't know what they do to the refried beans but I could eat an entire bowl of them. Just make sure you try one of their churros when you go.

Parking: Parking lot is always half empty. Plenty of parking all the time.
