    Steak fajitas. Served with homemade flour tortillas.
    Cynthia S.

    Stopped in for lunch, table for 5. Hostess met us and asked our seat preference. We had tacos of flour and corn, steak fajitas, and a pork burrito. Service was friendly and timely. Large dining area, clean. Welcoming atmosphere. Looks like there is a dance floor for the evening, I forgot to ask. They were bilingual. Food was tasty. The rice was a bit spicy, which was unexpected. The flour tortillas are homemade and delicious. Our food was delivered quickly. The horchata was very good. Water was served in bottles and then we were asked if we wanted water in glasses. We were charged for the bottles which we were unaware, but we didn't ask either. No biggie. Overall, I recommend this Mexican restaurant and I'd go back. CASH only.

    Carnitas (pork) gordita.  $2.50

    Wow! This place is awesome! Swung by on a whim when I saw it as I was driving back to Chicago from a work project yesterday. Food was delicious and inexpensive, and the service was great. Seems like a real hole in the wall but they've got their stuff together. Can't say anything bad about this place. Try the steak tacos! OMG that steak was insanely good. It was smokey and crispy and tender at the same time. Amazing! And the pork gordita was crazy good too! Crispy on outside and hot and steamy on the inside! Not sure how they perfected that so well but they did, and you should try it. Restaurant is very casual. Just stroll in whenever. You can get in and out in 20 min if you needed to. I was there for 30-40 min and took my time. Easy and clean atmosphere. Staff was extremely nice.

    These are the best carnitas in the area. The family meal never disappoints and they're a nice family.

    Ordered 2LBS of Carnitas on two different occasions and it was very good. We will continue to come here when we want carnitas on Sundays.

The restaurant is pretty small, but they packed a lot of seating into this old Subway. The booths can easily fit a group of 6, while the tables can be pushed together to seat more. There are also 3 tables outside as well. Plenty of vegetarian options, which is a huge bonus, and they have Beyond beef for those that enjoy mock meats. I had dinner here with two of my friends, and we all enjoyed our meals! We shared these yummy little horchata balls, and I had a vegetarian burrito (solid size!). I also had two, don't judge haha, classic margaritas. I wouldn't typically order a classic margarita, as I don't do overly sweet or syrupy drinks, but these were really light and yummy!! The Ay Cabron! hot sauce was SO good with my burrito, and had a nice tingle while still providing flavor. My bill came out to $36 for the three things I ordered, which is pretty decent considering how expensive dining out can be. Can't wait to dine in again to try the Chile Relleno! YUMMY!

I met a friend for…read morelunch around noon on a Tuesday, and when we arrived we had the entire place to ourselves. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with green sauce. When I placed my order, the server said "good choice" and she was right. They were served with rice, beans and lettuce and really hit the spot. My friend ordered tacos and also commented that the food was really good. By the time we left, only one other party had arrived. Considering how slow business was, we noted that the service was pretty slow. Our server was attentive when we arrived, but once the food came and we ate, it took an awhile for her to bring the check and then awhile longer for her to process our payment. The place has a lot of visual interest from the moment you walk in, with scenic landscapes and photos of people covering all the walls. That made the ambiance fun in what is otherwise a pretty casual place. Overall, this was a good experience and I'd like to return. I hope others try it, too! They need a better lunch crowd if we want them to stick around!

The flavor was good, but they were a bit dry and didn't come with any consommé, which would've made a big difference.

It's just surprising that it never really seems crowded.
