Only drawback was price. Almost 30 bucks for a lunch. I played some games in their game room afterwards to try my luck, and won some money to cover lunch and then some! Worth a try if your looking for a nice place to get some good Mexican and play some games. Ill be back for sure.

Ok, I don't know if I was just really hungry or what.... But the tacos here are GOOD. Like…read moreunexpectedly good. After moving to this area, it's been hard finding good quality and good flavor places unless you go to Crystal Lake or Kildeer. However, I think this place is a local Mexican food gem. I got 4 tacos for pick up: ground beef, steak, pastor and barbacoa. Right off the bat, all tacos had a very generous amount of meat and onion/cilantro (my choice of topping) in them. However, on top of that here is what I loved about each taco: Ground beef: it was actually quite well seasoned! All other ground beef tacos I've had in the area are just plain. This one had a beautiful seasoning flavor to it. It caught me by surprise! Steak: it was your typical small cubed low quality taco meat steak. Not as flavorful as the ground beef, but honesty still really good Al pastor: the SEASONING and FLAVOR were just awesome . Honestly most well seasoned pastor I've had in a while. What for me personally could have made this a 10/10, would be if they served it with grilled pineapple mixed in. However that's just my personal flavor preference lol. Overall, still one of the best Al pastor in the area. Barbacoa: it was super moist and tender and again the flavor profile of the way they seasoned it when cooking was just Also got chips and guacamole. Very good. Nice chunks, and not puréed like some places do. Overall I will definitely be coming back here to try the other dishes! Highly recommend!

I will say I wish their Guac had a little more kick but that can be managed with the wonderful salsa selection they provide. This is a very authentic mexican restaurant experience and the management/service tends to be consistently good. It is not the nicest inside and the bathroom is as would be expected in this strip mall but I still give 5 stars based on service/food/prices. Great stop and worth going to.

As I was walking up, there was a guy walking out of the tae kwon do studio next-door. I asked if he ever ate there and he emphatically said "yes it's delicious." Salsa was good, but about every fourth chip was stale. El Pastor taco was very flavorful, but the meat was a little overcooked. Got two à la carte enchiladas, one cheese, one beef. The cheese was fine, the beef one had a strange taste, almost like a cleaning agent. I asked the waitress if the tamales were any good, she shrugged her shoulders, and said yes. Normally, I would take that as a no, but I read a bunch of reviews that said the tamales were good. I tried one of each. Chicken comes with green sauce, pork comes with red sauce. Both were fantastic. I would definitely return just to buy tamales. Prices are cheap, I got all this and a beer for 28 bucks.

This is a small storefront and I think the picture of this place is in the dictionary for 'hole in the wall'! It's a small restaurant in a small strip mall on Rand. Easy to drive by but if you are hungry for good Mexican, this is the place to stop at. The restaurant is clean and the service was pretty fast. I was relieved they do not put fries in the burrito!! The burrito was very tasty and all the ingredients were fresh tasting. Red and green salsa came with the burrito and they were very nice - the red had some good heat and the green had a very nice herbaceous flavor. I'll gladly eat here again!
