This place is definitely a hole in the wall that serves food packed with flavor!! The owners son helped us out and he made some delicious recommendations!! I had Tacos a mano, one chorizo and one house taco ( I can’t remember what he called it) with a Carne Asada Sope. Their house taco included nopales, which I love, along with meat and melted cheese, it was delicious!! My daughter had a Gordita and my son in law had nachos, everything was delicious!! Service was fantastic!! I love being surprised by good food and good service!! Can we talk about how cute it’s decorated!!! I love the Loteria cards on the restrooms and everything else was on point! If you’re in Chicago, I highly recommend coming here to eat. You’ll receive genuine hospitality and delicious food. PS, the Horchata is amaz

The atmosphere is welcoming with the Owner Imelda who is such an Amazing person. I came to see my son graduate from Navy bootcamp. We got to talking & I asked if they made homemade tortillas. She said the food is homemade, and once she heard my son likes tortillas. She told me she was going to get some for him to eat and to give them a couple of minutes. I know I'm leaving a review, but this doesn't even come close to how much I appreciated what she did. I got the Nachos with steak and it was so good that I ate it all. I'm a petite chic but I enjoyed the food so much. It was on point with flavor. Boyfriend got the Steak Quesadillas and he said he never had anything as good as that. He was impressed with the homemade tortillas, how it didn't need any salt. That it was good as is. Portions w

I went here while I was in town visiting family, and it was amazing! All of the tacos we tried were incredible—the shrimp, steak, and chorizo tacos were so good. I can’t wait to go back next time I’m in town. I also tried the quesabirrias, which I had never had before, but I will definitely be ordering them again. And to top it all off, the margaritas were great too! Thanks for such great food and service!
