“I really don't go to this location that often because I just don't like the taste of the food overall. It could just be me but I prefer the Homewood location more. This location good just seems like it's missing certain seasonings. Every single time I go is like this. The service is always good and I don't see that they are doing anything different but this is just my opinion. The queso was delicious today and the chips were perfect.“
“Great Customer service come check them out!. For brunch ! Very delicious food 10/10 I had the strawberry French toast today it was bomb! My mom had the Desayuno de la casa. Great food here and beautiful atmosphere. Ask for Jackie great server.“
“The food is amazing and the owner is nothing short great. He’s extremely generous and cooks like no other. Highly recommend the tacos de Al pastor, as it is their specialty and they are delicious. And as far as An amazing dark horse, their Mexican burger is absolutely delicious.“
“At Jimmy's they appreciate their customers you are greeted with an appropriate good day ma'am or sir how may I help you they have music playing so the atmosphere is very nice and they have very good food give them a try I give them five stars and two thumbs “
“Visiting my son and he suggested this “place for tacos”. Well it was way beyond tacos. This is a jewel of a place literally hidden in south suburban Chicago. The chef is adventurous and he goes way beyond traditional Mexican fare. We had an amazing mussels in chipotle sauce, that you will want extra bread for dipping. My son had a massive salmon burrito. He said the salmon was cooked to perfection. The chefs special was a four cheese ravioli with crawfish and a delicious sauce. Again, not your typical Mexican dish but terrific.The place was sadly deserted on a Tuesday night. I hope people check it out as it deserves love.“
“The restaurant is very clean. Very nice staff, very attentive. I ordered tacos de canasta, and they were delicious. The quesadillas de maza are delicious ?. My husband ordered coctel de camarones, and it was very, very good. I will recommend ? everyone to come and try their delicious food. They have late hours. Plus, each day they have the special of the day come and check it out.“
“First timer as of yesterday . Food was really good I had the 3 meat fajita bowl (dine-in) food was cooked to order. Fresh and hot when served. The cook and cashier were polite and friendly. Dont get that anymore from other restaurants .The place was nice and clean really don't see that at most places . Will come back to try other items on the menu and will tell everyone when in town .Small family business ready to grow it's 2024 people prices are going up stop being cheap when you order out. Bet you don't even tip. All they need to do is get a bigger sign outside for drivers to see from afar.“
“The food and Atmosphere is great!!! However the service is terrible your guaranteed to wait 20mins just to get service and this is early in the day when it’s not busy and this has happen on more than one occasion I’m writing this review in hopes the service change I love supporting black owned businesses but we need to do better!“
“Definitely try the steak pastor and barbacoa. cooks put in the work and the food comes out delicious. Servers are very helpful and will answer any questions about the menu in a friendly way. My favorite plate the lucky fajitas with the shrimp steak and chicken comes out sizzling and very flavorful! Number 1 spot in my list!“
“I loved the food, the service, the waiter was very nice and attentive. I recommend to anyone their green salsa is immaculate it's sooooo good it's not spicy but if you like spice they have the red salsa.I absolutely loved the food, the service, the waitress was very friendly and attentive. I recommend it to anyone whose green sauce is delicious. It's not spicy, but if you like it spicy, they have the red one too.“
“Food is sooooo good!!! And i do mean good, the ppl are great! I gave the 4 stars on atmosphere ONLY because of the size of the location. It's pretty small in the inside and my family is HUGE we can never go all together. But seriously best birria I've ever had.“
“Ordered here because I was looking for the Birria experience, which I’ve never had before coming here. I placed my order online. I was given a time to pick it up. When I arrived it was a couple minutes early than the time suggested and my food was ready. I was happy with that. I normally check my food before leaving but due to this being my first experience I waited until I got home. Everything I ordered was there. The food was amazing I had the birria pizza, along with the birria ramen, and the Chimibirria which all exceeded my expectations. I will be going back and would recommend anyone to go there. Hopefully I will receive the same experience as before on my next visit. Thank you for the wonderful experience!“
“Food is delicious, I recommend 100%Had a fantastic dining experience. The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. Would definitely go back for more! Definitely try it if you are around won’t be disappointed. Also try their hot champurrado! My favorite.“
“One of the best in Chicago heights! Me and my husband have lived in the area for 5 years and have pretty much tried every Mexican food spot- this is definitely one of the best. Great customer service and the food came out very hot and tasty“

“My first time there - just turned into the small lot on a sudden urge for a taco. It's clean but not glamorous and with very limited seating inside and out; but I will DEFINITELY be returning. I had the best ground-beef taco I've ever had. The service was courteous and the other food looked delicious! Authentic look and flavor. The sauce was super spicy so beware.“
“This taco truck did not miss! We both ordered tacos 2 different types and the flavor was there for both. I was delighted by the filling for the veggie tacos: beans, rice, lettuce, pico, sour cream, cheese and avocado. So delicious I really appreciated the freshness of the veggies. My co worker had steak tacos and a chicken quesadilla. I’ve never seen a more meat filled quesadilla. He said it had excellent flavor. We both are visitors at Ford and typically don’t have time to eat. Seeing the taco truck and learning of its popularity we were so happy to try it. This truck is well worth it, what you get for the price is flavor and value.“
“I lived near a couple blocks from here for years and never stopped by. I finally did today and I wish I had done it years ago.I ordered a large plate of birria and it was delicious. Came with some tortillas and crunchy tostada which is a nice touch, limes and 2 salsas on the side. The green salsa was good but not spicy, the red one however has a good kick and made the food better. I ordered a large container to go. Definitely coming back“
“As a busy northwest indiana real estate agent in the go, Rubens is our local go-to Mexican food restaurant. Food quality is high and consistent. Prices are fair and food portions are good. Our favorite is getting the nachos supreme - we get 3 orders for our family of 4 and there’s always a good amount of leftovers left. ?Parking: Lots of available parking located steps from the front door“
“HOLY COW, this is a hidden treasure of a food spot in Oak Lawn! The atmosphere of the store is amazing and cozy. Great menu selection and the food is out of this world! I ordered the Chicken Burrito Suizo and a mango Fresca and everything is made fresh and truly made with love and passion!! The rice and beans were some of the best I’ve ever had too! Great job and will be back over and over again!!“
“Easy quick and delicious. It's something about a place that has perfected their dish and this birria is perfect. I'm a fan of a restaurant that smells hit you before walking in the door. We were greeted with delicious meat seasoning and cilantro. The team behind the counter were friendly and kind with my limited hearing and accent understanding...lol. I ordered 4 quesabirria tacos and a beef cheek taco?. Everything was plentiful and delicious. We were stuffed after the tacos and can't wait to go back. The meat was very tender and pulled directly from the bone when ordering.“
“So we've had Sal's a handful of times already and it's great! we usually get pizza and wings not a complaint from anyone in the family! I'm usually really picky with sauce and I like this alot. we also ordered tacos from here they're good but small is the only thing negative to say. We'll definitely be back again and again!“

“The Birrierias were small yet yummy! At the time of my visit they didn’t sell extra toppings like hot peppers, and avocado slices, etc. If they did this would knock their food off the chart! The restaurant is small and my server was nice.I feel they’re a small business that has the potential to really expand into a huge business!Parking: Limited parking spaces.“
“Very, very good solid food with flavorful rice and beans that do not taste from a can. Outstanding hardshell tacos and delicious enchiladas with well seasoned beef. Not too sweet horchata but just right taste and cold beer. My father loved it and had good things to say about their coffee. Very polite on phone order placing and courteous staff. There is definitely something on the menu for everyone. Nice decor and has authentic vibes throughout.“
“Excellent service and food! We stopped here for lunch and both had enchiladas, which were delicious. The salsa was flavorful and spicy and chips were also very good. We even got some to go. Our server was great. We definitely recommend Casa Lupita’s.“
“The ladies that work there are very nice they take your order and get you your food in a timely fashion they're always smiling and they love to see familiar faces everything on the menu is very good and I love their chicken tamales everything is delicioso and their beans and rice are off the chain“
“Legit one of the best tortas I had in a while, they have specials during the week so I was here on a Wednesday and got the Torta and drink for under $7bucks good deal friendly staff and my order was done fast. Small family own join so a must visit in you in town“
“First time here, and I will definitely be going back!! Best breakfast meal I've had since I left Texas!! I ordered Mexican coke, and chilaquiles verdes and it was served with rice and beans, crema y queso blanco! Scrumptiously delicious ?! My friend ordered the Chicken Torta and limon Jarritos, he said it hit the spot! The red salsa has the perfect kick if you like spice and the green is good if you don't. Can't wait to try other menu items!“
“First tried a few years ago and loved it. I couldn't remember the name and drove by there today. I had 2 steak tacos. So damn good wanted to go back for more. Tasted very fresh, steak was perfect! Owner is very attentive, patient and nice. No sign outside. May go back this weekend.“
“I had a Cheesy order of Birrira and Chicken tacos and Flako fries. Food is delicious and flavorful. Very friendly service. Unfortunately at the moment, there is some road work in front of the business that may make parking difficult. But that shouldn't stop you from trying it!“
“I recently went to Richway Gyros after having a terrible experience at another hotdog place down the road in Chicago. So glad I found this place. The food is delicious and the customer service is awesome! Kudos to the staff. They know how to treat customers with respect! The prices are reasonable. What’s even better is that the offer a rewards program. I will definitely be back!“
“Awesome Caldo de Pollo, just what I had had in mind tonight! It was loaded with veggies and chicken that I did not mind less of the broth! It was fabulous! I wish I could have enjoyed one of their drinks cause I know how good they are!??☺️“
“I've only had the Chilaquiles verdes, Cecina, and coffee, but they are exceptionally good. I would say the Chilaquiles verdes are in the top 5 of all of Chicago. Their beans are really good. Rice is pretty good, too. Great service, very clean restrooms. They take credit cards now. My grandson has the crispy potato tacos here and loves them. The kids' chicken tenders are an enormous serving size.Kid-friendliness: They are really kind and patient with the little ones and have a kid friendly menu.Parking: Lots of free parking.“
“One day when we were so busy in the afternoon and we were hungry, we remembered a place where they sell roast chickens and roast beef (they sell roast beef by the pound) we ordered chicken and roast beef to take away.Once at home when we started eating, this food was delicious, tasty and juicy.The Pure Tasty.“
“Great tasting food everything I tried was delicious will be there again, if you are into seafood this is the place shrimp caldo awsome, the service very attentive price point very fair, I was impressed with how clean it is, I am a new fan of this hidden jewl i. “
“La Cocina Jaliscience is a great place to visit for a casual bite to eat. It's very informal but that's not a detractor. I always love their tacos and cheese quesadillas, and the burritos are very good as well. My wife tried the flautas this time and said they were good as well. My only comment is that I don't prefer their method for serving salsa with the delicious chips because it comes in what I can best describe as breakfast restaurant tabletop syrup pourers and I've always found it to be messy and also strange and invariably amongst whoever accompanies me to dine-in here the conversation always involves a laugh/bewilderment about the condiments being served in syrup jars.“
“Man these Tacos and Tortas are the best. Every time I am in the South suburbs I come here to grab some. They are cash only so come with cash. The guy's been working here forever. They just recently repainted and remodeled just a little bit. The food is the same from years ago when I was coming here. I'm glad they're back open“
“I usually don't leave any type of reviews unless I am personally moved by the establishments. But this little restaurant just personifies the current aged and melancholy sense of the American Dream. People work very hard in order to flourish here in the states. And often times are given the short end of the stick all while still pushing on and doing their very best with what they have.Long story short. We ordered online through a third party and the restaurant had no capability of retrieving the order because they no longer did business with them. They struggled to get anyone in contact who could help so they decided to do the honorable thing and took it upon themselves to cater to our personnel at my workplace to make sure we got what we had paid for even if that meant it came with a potential loss. The employees are kind, thoughtful, and evidently very hard working. Always bustling through, doing whatever they could to help the kitchen. The kitchen staff worked as the heart of this place to fly out orders as soon as possible. You can TELL these hardworking people have a passion in what they do. That it matters to them. I truly hope that they are able to get this issue resolved because otherwise they were a pleasure to do business with. The food was also very and I mean VERY delicious. Give it a try, you will be in good and very capable hands.“
“Oh my goodness. Such a surprise. These are some really good tacos. The steak is chopped small and very low on fat and grizzle. Seasoned perfectly. Al pastor is very good too. The chicken is dark meat I'm not a fan. I get breakfast tacos too. Chorizo and egg on flour. The rice is fluffy and the beans are creamy, they have 3 sauces red green and avocado. The veggies are always fresh never brown and mushy. FRESH FRESH! The customer service can depend on who's at the window. Cooks are always friendly. Food cooked right in front of you, I likes that. They close on Sundays and they not open late enough for me.“
“So I'm a big taco lover specially asada and today I tried their asada tacos and all I have to say BEST TACOS IN HAMMOND..yes I have tried them all so with certainty I can highly recommend street shack your go to for asada tacos and that salsa literally FIRE so delicious...I'll be back soon for more.“
“Small place but we really enjoyed being able to sit in front of the kitchen. More of an option in Chicago so big thumbs up there. Steak tacos we're on point. Not dried. Hints of lime and definitely juicy but......... the chorizo tacos stood out over all. Bursting with flavor and cooked perfectly. My wife stated they made her feel like she was back in Mexico. Both tacos were a stand-out at this restaurant. Bottle sauce seemed roasted and gave a nice back to all the tacos we ordered. Highly recommend the Chorizo or Carne Asada for any dish you chose from this dive but dime in Hammond. Al Pastor, and Tripe are solid choices as well. The pork was tender and the tripe was cooked on the plancha until it had the perfect crisp.After posting this saw more reviews aside from my wifes in person but stating "reminds me of Mexico"“
“Hands down this is the best place for authentic Mexican food! Would not go anywhere else! The don't hold back on delicious ingredients! They stuff your plate enormous generous servings and delicious! The people are kind service is awesome, food is awesome! Place is spotless and definitely reasonable prices! This is a must go to place!“
“Everything we got from here was absolutely delicious. Jalapeno and cream cheese bread was amazing! The flan , churros, and some other goodies were just so good. Highly recommend stopping in for some bites and drinks served there as well by Cielito Lindo Cafe.“
“Looked up reviews for a local place to get Tamales and here we go!! Little corner store with full selections and choices of authentic Mexican products and Freshly made Tamales!! Pork,Chicken,Beans, Nopales Com Queso and more varieties of other stuff!! Freshly made Mexican rice, salsa,guacamole....Yesssssssss!! Quality Fresh Meat's and Fish too....both ready made to cook seasoned types and regular cuts too!! Super deals and Niceeeeeeeee!! Tamales made by hand like Grandma Abuelita and more!!“
“Ordered tacos for breakfast. They were made fresh and still hot when I got home. Steak tacos had a good amount of meat and good flavor but I loved the chicken tacos which I never really do at taco places. Chicken was nicely seasoned and tacos had good portions of meat. Service was also friendly and welcoming. I would definitely come back“
“Breakfast dishes are pretty good, Mexican entrees could be better. Big place with lots of room to breathe. Their veggie skillet is very good. It's basically hashbrowns with chopped veggies, but it has an excellent flavor. My grandson insists on us coming here because he loves their chocolate chip mickey mouse pancakes. But he also really likes their chicken tenders. Their fries have great texture, but they taste like they were cooked in bad fry oil. My daughter likes their chilaquiles. I would say they are good, but I've had better. They overcook the bacon till its almost burned ( every time...its weird).“
“I have not been here in 5 yrs no longer in Illinois..small neighborhood store with the beat tamels & carnitas ever and I've had a lot of carnitas..they only have them on Saturday & Sunday but worth the wait..the meat & masa ratio is perfect..the carnitas definitely the bestMessage to the cook..Keep up the good work..I will be back...OH yes like everything else the price has gone up to 8.99 a lb...but my craving was satisfied after 5 years it was worth it??“
“I come here 2x a week at least. Great food. Can’t beat the prices. Only bad thing is they need to stay open later. They close to early. I ordered 6 gyro meals today with fries and drinks it was around 43$. The steak tacos are great as well.“
