★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Nick Davila · Nov 2025

⭐ 0/5 — I’m from Chicago and THIS is NOT Mexican food I want to start by saying the waiter was great — cool dude, good service. But the food itself? Absolutely not it. I ordered the nachos and what I got looked nothing like real Mexican food. It was basically soggy chips, a little melted cheese, refried beans, some lettuce, and a few pieces of steak thrown on top. No tomatoes, no onions, no real toppings, nothing fresh. They tried to charge extra for salsa, extra for limes, and even $1.50 just because it was to-go. I’m from Chicago — I know what real Mexican food is supposed to taste like. These nachos were nowhere near worth the $25 price tag. Honestly, it tasted like leftover ingredients mixed in a foil pan. Again, the service was good, but the food was a huge disappointment

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Derek Daniels · Mar 2024

I think this is a newer restaurant, as I was told a pizza place was in here before. The food was decent, but the inside looked less like a Mexican restaurant than most I've seen. The service was adequate, but my chips weren't replaced with a new batch when I finished and my drink wasn't refilled until the end of my meal. My burrito grande was pretty good, though I've had far better. The salsa was runny; very watery. I wouldn't go out of my way to return here, but I would come back.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Nathaniel Ruzicho · May 2024

Me and my gf come here all the time, but we just found a cockroach in our food. They didn’t apologize when we showed them, they just took the plate back and acted like nothing happened. We were waiting 10 minutes for them to come back to talk to us so we just walked out. I would never recommend coming here, they’re unprofessional and obviously they are unsanitary.

The food was delicious. The service was good and was prompt. Prices were reasonable. My marinaded chicken breast was tender, flavorful and nicely presented.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Todd Burton · Jan 2026

Ordered steak chicken and shrimp fajitas..with refried beans and rice and pico de gallo...3 flour tortillas...when food came out there was chicken and steak pieces on hot plate and literally 2 shrimp for 3 tortillas...very disappointing to say least ..really 2 shrimp not even one shrimp per tortilla..you gotta do better ...with cost of this plate should have more ...just saying ...it tasted great but not sure why so stingy .
