“Me and my boyfriend went to this place after the Ed Sheeran concert; this was our first time being in Chicago and we had no clue on how the parking was. The men at the front were so nice and helped us figure out the parking situation! They acted like we were friends, and didn't dumb us down for not knowing how it worked. Going further inside the restaurant, the ambiance was nice! The seating was a little close to each other, but that's expected for the small restaurant. Now onto the food -- it was delicious!! I can't remember what the name of what I got was (the chimichanga looking one), but my boyfriend loved his tacos! The pico de gallo they put on the food was so yummy! The best pico I've ever tasted. If I was in the area again, I'd definitely go here! If you're looking for a quick yummy bite, go here!!“

“This place struggles to know exactly what it wants to be, but it does confusion well. Ice cream, smootheis, fruit cups, Mexican food, candy, cheesecake and cotton candy. It is unique!! Been 2 times in a week because had to show it off to the husband. He loves the tamales, only available on the weekends, and limited quantity. The ice cream, just regular brand but nice selection and not too pricey.I'd visit again.“

“I joined friends for a drink after eating elsewhere. They really enjoyed their food and everything I tasted was delicious. While the service was very friendly, we did have a hard time because the waitress didn't speak much English. She was a sweetheart, though, and grabbed one of the chefs to translate in order to make sure everything was right. She checked in frequently and made sure our drinks were full. The ambiance isn't anything special, but the food and friendly staff make up for it.“

Needed some tables cleaned off but it was just a bit after lunch time so maybe they were really busy.Parking: difficult to find parking but that's a downtown problem“

“This place used to have the best chicken tacos ever! But they had gotten a different cook and the food wasn’t the same. It still isn’t but this cook has improved. This food regardless of the cook is rich in flavor, full, and just overall FANTASTIC! I LOVE this place food. They really give you LOTS of meat and it’s very inexpensive. I only paid $11 for 3 chicken tacos (chunks of chicken) with cilantro, onion, and cheese and a side of rice. I can’t explain how good they are. Make sure you try this place before another in Rockford.“
