If you are looking for flavor this place has it. The torta is made with Fresh bread. Meaning the food is always fresh. Their ambiance works for any occasion and can always count on great service.

So walking in they greet you very friendly we ordered to go but we had some great conversation with the gentleman working behind the counter I had the tacos birra and my wife had the bean and cheese papusas and let me tell you absolutely amazing. My wife and her Mom make this at home and well my wife said it tastes like she or her mom made it. She said it was delicious. Her words, YUM. Makes her feel like home. I’m only in town for a few days but I will be visiting again before I go home thank you for the amazing experience and foodVegetarian options: The papusa absolutely amazing

I ordered chicken and shrimp tacos, my friend ordered the nuggets and fries. I ended up eating most of his food in addition to mine because it was yummy. Service was stellar, it could not have been better. I wish it was closer to my home in Evanston!

We were staying at Great Wolf Lodge and found this place on Yelp. It was some of the best Mexican foods we've ever had. Would definitely go back if we are in the area again.
