    Somehow, I have lived in this area for almost 2 years, and just came here to get carry out for the first time! After a 15 minute walk home, the food was delicious. Taco dinner was well-worth the price, and you know a place is legit when their salsa is to die for. 5/5!!!

    This place has always been so great. The best steak around. Prices have gotten super high but that’s like every other place around. Kind of sucks paying the same as I would at a sit down restaurant without any chips and salsa.

    This place is a hidden gem! Loved it so much, I went back 2 days later. The only reason I won’t give them 5 stars is because I think the meat could be seasoned a little more and I’ve only tried the tacos. Will come back to update.

    Best Al pastor tacos in Chicago. Simply amazing with a great price, quick service, and friendly customer engagement. Highly recommend for anyone in the area to stop in.

    I had the Thursday burrito special with melon juice. Recommend both! Super quick and hit the spot. I cleaned my plate!

    What a great place! We tried several dishes: chimichangas, pastor tacos, and a steak burrito, and everything was a solid 9! The only downsides were the lack of truly spicy sauce and the fact that soda refills weren’t allowed while dining in. Other than that, this place is fantastic for satisfying your munchies!

    It has been great since 1990’s when Chicago had the best nightlife scene at least in the Midwest. Back then people would flock here after the bars closed at 2am, hard working Hispanic people have been cooking the best Mexican fast food choices all night long! Unfortunately Rahm and the following mayors compromised the local economy and today Chicago is bankrupted.

    Service was friendly, prices were great, and food was excellent!! I ordered the veggie burrito and it hit the spot. Everything else on the menu looks delicious as well. It is within walking distance of the Beat Kitchen so if you’re catching a show and hungry, for sure stop by here.
