The food and service is good and I'd like to also highlight the cleanliness. Please continue to keep up the good work and I know you continue to be blessed.
First off this place was so busy around lunchtime the phone was ringing off the hook. With that said I still got my food very fast. Service was great and friendly as could be. I got a steak torta and it was soooo good. Real authentic flavor. Very big and very fresh ingredients. I will definitely be back!!
Food decent but not true Chicago like in the pictures up around but delivers quickly and in a rural area Mexican food though is great
Nice combo of Mexican staples and standard burger/hot dog fare you'd find at a football game. Very friendly guys working when we went. Best quesadilla I've had in a looooong time.
The hype is REAL! Food was tasty and satisfying. Real authentic Mexican Food. Steak tacos hot tamales, steak burger and hotdog was our order. Delicious! The place was trendy and homely. Spanish Vibes with the bright colors and beautiful wall art. Tyler and Aiden were awesome guys. Aiden greeted my kid and I as soon as we entered the establishment. Tyler took our order and boy! Did he make me want thee entire menu! The smell of the flavorful food hit you right at the doorway and as we sat and waited the food tasted as good as it smelt! Go check 'em out! Will not be disappointed.
