Food was good just one server for the whole restaurant... if you're not patient might not recommend at this moment.. PLACE does have potential

I went there for lunch and it was wonderful! We sat on the patio which was very nice. Service was good. I liked the fresh tomatoes in the salsa, the chips were good and crisp. I had enchiladas with beef, and they were very flavorful. Not spicy, but lots of flavor! I will definitely be returning!

My sister kept raving about this place so we finally decided to give it a try. We came in on a Thursday evening for dinner. We were greeted and seated right away. The inside is beautifully decorated with bright walls and traditional Mexican paintings. The service was quick and the waiter was helpful. The Queso with corn tortillas was amazing!!! Highly recommend it. I got the chicken flautas and my partner ordered the green enchiladas. Well presented and a decent portion. The prices are a tiny bit higher than most Mexican restaurants but I will definitely be returning

The food was good but when I walked in they had no customers and no one greeted me properly and was rude about getting my food.She pointed as I said I don't just want to touch peoples food. There was no receipt on my bag like most orders I get for takeout. It sucked as it was my first time being there and again I enjoyed the food but will not be back.

Despite being under new management and seriously under staffed the service was good and the food was excellent.

One of the worst places if ever been. Has seriously gone down hill since they took over Pep'es they did away with the neighborhoods favorite deal. The lunch buffet. There are alot of businesses out here as well as home owners we need places to eat. And they did away with the best waiters and waitresses. The food is under par to this day. I dont know if they fired the cook or tied his hands but the food is not the same. . ..I live around the corner and would rather go to th super market called El Barrio for thier 3for $5 taco special than go to whatever this place is called now. It's a shame and a shadow of its former glory. If I worked there I would've already been looking for a new job poor people.

We got Chicken Fajitas take away. Was excited about it since its very close to home, so we walked over to get it. It was more expensive than I had expected. Food was well packed for take away, which is usually a big disappointment so I was pleased with this here. They had packed the chicken & peppers separately, refried beans had a cover etc so it was well preserved. They didnt have a menu for take away. Food was ok, not exceptional and considering the extra $, I was expecting more.
We love this place! Authentic Mexican cuisine. Wonderful service. Lots of good vegetarian options. Great for fast carry out too. Large patio and you don’t feel crowded. It’s a nice option for outdoor dining if you want to get away from crowds in downtown Arlington Heights.

Great atmosphere, amazing food with Vegetarian Options. The Soy Al Pastor is A++ ! To the people complaining about a 50 cent over charge, should probably Just stick with Taco Bell. Many don’t understand, when you dine out, you are paying for the experience not just the food and drinks. I Will be coming back for sure!!!!!

Disappointing. Great patio and very good service but the food and deceptive overcharging is not worth going back for. Limited menu, expensive drinks for the size of them and the nickel and diming their patrons left us less than happy that we tried it. Sadly we will not be returning since their outdoor space was all we found redeeming. We were not informed of the upcharges on our bill as I'm sure many other diners aren't either:( They automatically bump up each item compared to their listed menu prices and explain it away as an upcharge for using a credit card. Our friends were paying with cash and should not have been paying the billed inflated charges, but their bill was not adjusted and wouldn't have been if we had not called them out on this deceptive practice.We eat out often and have NEVER experienced this type of robbery! Can't see them keeping their doors open when they obviously don't appreciate customers especially at these unusual times of COVID:(
