Yelp.com Review - by Joanne W.

3.0 of 5 stars. I have been here three times for lunch. The last two times I got the same thing - the tacos de pollo al pastor. I enjoy it and when I go back will probably order it again. Given that they have this on...

Yelp.com Review - by EmmBee L.

2.0 of 5 stars. The problem here is the price to quality ratio. I've eaten at many a hole-in-the-wall joint where the food was better (i.e. not stale and with some spice, for goodness sake) but the prices were much...

4.0 of 5 stars. I used to get carry-out from their old location in the Summit all the time when I was growing up, and now sometimes go to their new location when I'm in town visiting family. I insist on dining-in at...

Yelp.com Review - by Matthew S.

3.0 of 5 stars. I have to agree with most of the 3 star reviewers. I think the service was ok and food pretty good. The steak is tasty and the chicken seemed taster than Don Juans actually. The big complaint I have...

Yelp.com Review - by Katherine R.

3.0 of 5 stars. It's pretty good. It gets crazy packed on the weekends, but they have a nice bar area to wait and have a cocktail. The sangria is pretty good and so are the margaritas. The food is pretty average...

3.0 of 5 stars. Honestly, the rating is really mostly for the atmosphere. The space is gorgeous. It's a 2 story open space with skylights, decorated in old world Mexico style. My dream house would have a family...

Great Place

Very nice atmosphere. Very good Mexican food, way above average. What more can I say... good selection on the menu and reasonable prices. Parking is pretty good on the street.

This is a great little mexican food place. It's plenty relaxed and cheap enough to have a big party or bring the whole family. Like most mexican places, there are also plenty of meat-free options, a...

Best Mexican food in Chicago area.

Margaritas

Few Mexican Chicagoland restaurants will serve a good margarita straight-up, which, I believe is the only way to drink it. Forget the slushy mush or even on the rocks, although it is a better choice. Hay...
