    Torta carne asada
    Rosa J.

    This review is for the restaurant inside the grocery store, where they serve tacos, burritos, tortas, and gorditas. It was feature in one of the older episodes of "Chicago's Best." I remembered that the carnitas torta Ted Brunson was feeding in his mouth looked irresistible! I finally paid a visit to this place tonight. Hubby and I both had the carne asada tortas. I friendly reminded hubby that the vegetarian options were available, but he seemed to tune out my words and wanted to be a carnivore for the time being. Those tortas were quite large for $4.85 each. They were loaded with meat, avocados, and lettuce. Everything is made-to-order, so waiting is to be expected. Those tortas were definitely worth the money! The meat had great flavors, and they didn't skimp on meat, avocados and other ingredients. I didn't think they take credit cards at the restaurant, but all you need is five (5) bucks to fill up your stomach. By the way, it would certainly help if you can speak some Spanish. I speak pretty decent "food Spanish" since I'm a foodie, but hubby did the entire ordering in Spanish. The orders were called-out in Spanish as well, so be sure to pay attention. One of many joys of living in Chicago is the adventure of the food scenes. Honestly, many of them happen in the nondescript neighborhood like Belmont Central/Cragin. I'm glad that I found another neighborhood gem this evening, and I know there are many more to come as I explore further.

    For years, this was the Queen's pharmacy for many years. When this store opened it was a welcome to the area. Clean location. Fully stocked. Great cuts of meat, ham and cheese. Friendly staff. The bonus also is having a taqueria right inside. Pick up some groceries for tomorrow and dinner for tonight. Walking location for anyone in the area of diversey and Austin. Plenty of parking in the front and rear. Great location.

    Great Tortas and real tacos!

Starting with margaritas (because obviously ‍), queso and chips that were dangerously good, and the chicken empanadas that came out perfectly crispy with so much flavor. We kept looking at each other after every bite like "okay wait... THIS is the best thing here" and then another plate would arrive and prove us wrong again The carnitas fried rice??? I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it. So savory, flavorful, comforting, and packed with crispy carnitas on top with the eggs and pickled onions... literally unreal. And then the skirt steak tacos absolutely stole the show. The steak was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and paired so perfectly with all the toppings and sauces. Every single bite tasted fresh and homemade in the best way possible. And can we talk about the ambience for a second because WOW. The music, the energy, the vibe inside, everyone celebrating, the drinks flowing -- it felt like the perfect Cinco de Mayo dinner spot. The service was also AMAZING from start to finish and made the entire experience even better.

When we tried them we realized she accidentally gave us each other's. No big deal but it happened again with the food when a different server brought it out. We ordered chilaquiles; one with chicken and one with carnitas. It was not bad but way spicier than anticipated, and we like spicy food. Service was also not great. She stopped once to take our order and once to bring the drinks. That's it. We did not get checked on until we were already almost done with our food. Cute patio. Inside seating wasn't busy at all.

Appetizers were quac and chips, and shrimp ceviche. The guac was really good, but the ceviche was the star. Served on a bed of cucumbers, it was visually beautiful, and the flavor was fresh and complex. There was also a LOT of it. We ended up taking some home. Entrees were steak and shrimp for me, and Tampiquena for my friend. In both dishes, the steak was done to perfection. The sauce that came with my shrimp was spicy and deep--lots of flavor layers there. Both of us took home portions of our meals because there was a lot of food on the plates. Finally, the service--the servers are attentive without hovering. If we needed something, they were there, but never intrusive. It is hard to believe this is a little neighborhood spot, given the service and the quality of the food. It was not too busy tonight--we ate early--but I recommend reservations. It is very popular with the neighborhood. Bottom line, we each had 2 margaritas, appetizers, and entrees, and our bills with tip were around $105.00 each--totally worth it! Try this little gem--you won't regret it.

Most of the reviews recommended the enchiladas and we ordered a variety of them. The Enchiladas Poblanos stuffed with chicken and cheese. The poblano sauce was rich and smoky. We also had the Enchiladas Morita. They were filled with shrimp and cheese. It was so flavorful and the morita chile added so much flavor. Each dish was served with a side jicama salad.

The tamipquena is marinated in something delicious, pretty sure it includes adobo chiles, making the tamipquena flavorful and tender. The enchiladas have some of the best sauces. We especially love then poblano sauce on the chicken enchiladas. The enchiladas have some tender chicken and the sauce is slightly spicy and creamy. Everyone is super friendly, the waiting staff and chef take pride in their work and it shows. I continue to strongly recommend this place for a delicious dinner out. This is not your typical Mexican restaurant. It s a cozy elevated escape.

It was a hot, humid day, but apparently it was warmer inside than on their sidewalk seating, so we dined outside. My wife ordered the Vegetarian Torta ($13.75) and I chose the Shrimp Torta ($14.50).

Only real negatives were that they did not offer any draft beer options and the Chips y Salsa ($3.75) had a meager quantity of chips to eat their tasty and generous tomatillo and 3-chile salsa options. Would actually go 4.5 stars based on those 2 factors, but gave the benefit of the extra half star due to how good our service was and the excellent flavor of the veggie sandwich.
