“Love this place, and right down the street from me! The food is delicious! 😋 Just wish they opened a little earlier for breakfast!”

“Came here after the Zoo this evening with the family. The young man and young woman running the shop were really nice and polite. I got the cucumber lime and spicy watermelon ice cream. it was amazing. Reasonably priced also.”

“I have the avocado lotto and it was plenty so much that I have enough for supper. The fruit was fresh and plentiful. The tunafish and cottage cheese were excellent. The patty melt with onions was cooked perfectly. It came with a cup of soup and a generous portion of coleslaw. We will definitely come back here again.”

“Grabbed lunch here with a friend today. Ordered the turkey club on a French roll; my friend got the chicken & cheese panini. My sandwich was delightful. Service was quick & staff appeared nice. My friend said it is a staple of Riverside & they visit often.”

“Had the empanadas today at the Dia de los Muertos event in Homewood. You guys need to advertise more because they’re fantastic and that chimichurri sauce is to die for! You should be a household name!”

“Amazing staff! Small hidden gem. Atmosphere is amazing and the drinks are phenomenal. They have specials every day of the week. Amazing ?”

“It's actually a gift store with tons of beanie babies and garbage from eBay. There were some items called 'antique' probably in the literal sense, it's been sitting there forever. I did buy some stuff though like Porcelain fisherman for my dad and some musicians with odd expressions”

“Amazing traditional Mexican food and drinks, friendly and professional staff!”

“Not sure why this place is not packed. Best tamales I’ve had. My first time here and Alex was so polite. Tamales came out quick, hot and extra yummy, had to order more to go.”

“😍It's SO good. Very flavorful. The meat is Super tender. My husband got the Pork Torta & I got steak. Mine is better lol but they're both really, really good. I'm glad we stopped here! (I had already started eating so sorry the pics aren't great 🤣)”

“A delivery app made a mistake with my order. LaBarra took charge and the general manager personally delivered 2 delicious pizzas to make up for the outside apps mistake. Above and beyond! Thank you!”

“The 3 workers at the front (2 females 1 male) at around 12:30 noon on Sunday 8/23 were amazing. Came in with both my little kids and was offered a coloring page with crayons for each! Ordered my food and even before I was settled a gentleman came to drop me off my food to my table. That was less than 5 mins, fresh and hot. Service is top tier! Would definitely recommend!”

“Staff is always super friendly, food is always delicious. Inside the shop, where you can sit and eat, are cool photographs of Chicago from the early 1900s

Parking: It's right off ogden on Harlem so it's a little tricky getting in and out

Wheelchair accessibility: All on ground floor”

“For a restaurant in a Zoo, this place is impressive; especially the quality of the food. Got a cheeseburger and the crispy clucker - both hit the spot, and the fries were super fresh. Our friends got the roasted acorn squash pizza which was great - squash and brie on a pizza at a Zoo restaurant??? Nut - recommend after the dolphin show!”

“Tapsilog, tocilog, fried fish, halo halo.”

“Foodie and gals it’s are addictive. Warning!! 💕💕💕💕”

“Very nice experience with very tasty food. One problem was we had one very rude couple that showed up 25 minutes late and was watching loud YouTube videos and overall being very rude. I was celebrating my birthday and we were disrupted by this couple making remarks in Chinese which I could understand berating the chef for not giving him extra scallions as a side dish. I would suggest the host to either not allow them to dine after being so late or to at least tell them to be respectful”

“Great staff and every thing we ordered was absolutely fantastic.”

“This restaurant is the best! Service is excellent, friendly staff, best Mexican food ever. Different things on menu than usual fare. Place very clean. Soups, homemade drinks, and cakes are out of this world. You will not be disappointed! You gotta come here.”

“The food sounded fancy and tasted SO good! Our server, Andrew, came up with the most delicious drinks! Superb service! We’ll be back!!”
