“The place is very calm, but the Atmosphere is missing since there wasn't any music playing or anything that would give it a good feeling for wanting to celebrate something. Besides that everything else was good with the food which tastes amazing and if you want a taste of some of the things they have in their menu, I would recommend the smokehouse combo.“

“Real Mexican tacos! Tacos and tortas are very well served, the people is very friendly and the food was out at a super speed. Restroom was very clean too. The tables and the whole place look a bit old but clean, clean, clean!Kid-friendliness: Our kids love plain tacos but even for the picky eaters they have chicken nuggets, fries, burgers and quesadillas, so I would say it is a very good place to eat with kids. Plus the beverages are delicious.“

“If you are looking for a better alternative to Chipotle then this is for you! I hate to even compare the 2. The flavors and quality is top notch. It’s easy to navigate the menu. The prices are on point and the staff is fast & friendly. Overall I would recommend this to anyone who asked where a great place in the hood is to grab a quick, flavorful bite.I give this 5⭐️Jerry (the pigeon) gives it 5.5⭐️“

“I liked what I tried and would go back to try other things. The Surf n Turf Bowl was the best thing I had that night. I liked the Tenga tacos, but would order them in the restaurant and not to go so they're as fresh as possible. The shrimp tacos were good, however I wasn't a fan of the Carnitas.Vegetarian options: Have vegetarian options.Parking: Limited space to park in front of the place, you'll do better ordering ahead to go, then double parking.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of options for children.Wheelchair accessibility: No motorized doors.“

“Stopped in for the Choco Taco. But, it came out too melted to eat and the server ignored us. Vibe was off. To the servers credit they removed it from the check without hassle. Other that that, The space is nicely designed and arranged with enough space to feel comfortable. The chairs are like improved library chairs; surprisingly comfortable. There is music playing but not too loud. Tacos were very good, especially the al pastor. They certainly achieve the claim of basics done beautifully. The rice was so fluffy, the black beans tasty, the chips crisp in just the right way and the salsas match well. The servers will keep you hydrated although I'd suggest new cups. We drank out of our own water bottle to avoid the cups they brought out. Best parts of this place are the food and the æsthetic.“

“So, I was looking for Steak Fajitas in Chicago and decided to try this place for the first time tonight. I took my wife and kids around 5pm and glad I did because this place gets packed fast! By the time we finished, there wasn’t a table available and that’s because this place is awesome. Our waiter Christian was busy but very helpful, our food came out in a timely manner and it was delicious. The best steak fajitas I’ve ever had. If I had any complaints, it’s that they’re so busy they forget the little things about my order like Xtra this and none of that. So, I reminded them and they took care of it. Still, a 5 out of 5 ⭐️’s from me. I will return regularly!“

“We reserved a table to watch the NCAA Football final matchup. We booked it a week ahead of time. Everything was held as expected, and we received an ideal table. Food was good bar fare, as is consistent with this destination - served very quickly considering capacity crowd. Drinks were consistent, and available right when we wanted them. Service was exemplary - Angela managed well with the packed house and the boisterous crowd. Crowd was super-engaged, game was a HUGE success! Very festive environment, extremely well-managed by the service team. Recommending as a destination to everyone we know. Thank you!!“

“My friend and I sat at the bar and our bartender Ale and the manager Kyle made our time there so much fun. We had amazing fresh fruit margaritas, which were delicious and the manager Kyle stopped by to make sure everything was great a couple of times. You could see him walk the room to greet all of the other guests in the bar area which was really nice to see. It's just a friendly atmosphere and we definitely will be coming back!“
