The food is amazing. I ordered steak tacos and they are the most seasoned steak tacos I’ve had in Illinois. This place is very small and cozy which makes it feel like home. I have a toddler that was able to eat chicken soup here and he loved it too.

Exactly what you expect from a local Mexican restaurant, which is a good thing. Prices are reasonable, tacos are still less than $3.00, which in 2025 is a good price!
The food is good too, authentic, and portions are good.

Cute little place, but the food was MEH. I had their "famous" quesadilla and "famous" gordita and both were bland and SUPER GREASY. I was expecting something amazing, but was very disappointed.

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the food is exquisite. I didn't have a lot. Just a quick bite and I can't wait to come back.The tortillas were hand made there. I could tell, but I asked just to verify.The steak taco meat was amazing. I rarely taste such good steak taco meat.The chief said they make everything fresh. It takes longer, but they take pride in their food.It shows. I think everyone in the area should take a moment to go there.

The food does not have that mentioned seasoning, the service was not very comfortable, the prices were somewhat fair, they did not have natural juice, but they should remove from the Google menu what they already took from the menu as a recommendation.
