    Best fish tacos and burritos! It's a small dine in but it's nice for a quick bite or to get it to go! It can be a bit of a wait sometimes because they are super busy with their to-go orders most of the time. The food is consistently good and fresh! Empanadas fresh, right out of the fryer. Their street corn is also yum (in the cup and on the cob)! They've got fresh juices and horchata as well.

    I ordered a fish taco, a chicken taco, and two al pastor tacos for 17. These were fresh, delicious, came with two creamy sauces, free water, and were brought out quickly. Soft corn tortillas, doubled up for structural integrity. Can't wait to go back.

    This is easily one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve had takeout from in Chicago in years. I was starting to feel disappointed by the lack of good delivery options. My usual go-to spots have gone down in quality while prices keep going up. This place was a pleasant surprise. Everything I’ve ordered has been absolutely delicious, and I’ve already ordered twice in two weeks, which is rare for me. Definitely worth trying if you’re looking for truly good, authentic Mexican food.

    We've found that many places in Chicago can be pricey, but we were on the lookout for a spot where we could enjoy tacos and burrito bowls in a laid-back atmosphere. That's when we stumbled upon this gem! The music playing here is fantastic, so waiting for my order was anything but boring. The ambiance is incredibly homey, making it a comfortable place to dine. As for the food, the meats are top-notch, and the ingredients in the burrito bowl are fresh and flavorful. Plus, it's an affordable option for a satisfying meal. If you're craving delicious tacos in this neighborhood, definitely give this place a try!

    I gave 5 starts for their beef empanadas at this location. They are the best. Ask for all of them at once, since they make you wait for about 10 minutes. If you like ground beef you will not regret it. It is a unique flavor that include green olives and raisins. I love them! It is a small place but good enough for a quick bite that you will enjoy! Unfortunately, I did not take pictures of my empanadas, I realized after I have eaten them.

    If you love burritos then look no further. I have 0 complaints about this restaurant at all. The burritos are both flavorful, and thick, with a delicious tortilla to hold it all together. If you love sauce then try each option and pick your favorite for next time lol. And don’t forget to get a drink as well they have some tasty sweet options for you! One of the best burritos in Chicago!
