    Love this place. Carnitas on Sunday always hits the spot! The meat is so juicy and tender. Best carnitas I have had in Chicago.

    Best Carnitas in Pilsen! Call ahead to see if they still have carnitas available. Most of the time they are sold out by 4pm!

    Been twice. Horrible service. First time the owner chased us outside. Tried again and noppppeeeeeeeeread more

    I'm playing nice today *SERIOUSLY*…read more So my friend met the owner at a car wash and she wanted to try this place. So we come in on a Friday night at 830pm and it's DEAD. Not 1 other patron was on the joint. We're like are yall open, they say yes and say we can sit anywhere. It's built out lounge and bar style not a restaurant so beware. We opted for the bar since that's the only chair/table type area the other seats were couches with end tables so we knew we were ordering alot of items and didn't want to be slouched eating. Fast fwd the bartender is friendly and she took our drink & food orders. We ordered the baddest b*tch drink which is Hynotic & Hennessy for $22. We then ordered lamb chops, 8 Buffalo wings, steak eggrolls with steak cut fries. It took the food maybe 10/15 mins to come out. Everything was fresh & hot, the drink was tasty too. (Not $22 tasty, but tasty) Oh adding injury to insult they dont have real dine in plates, they serve the food in to go containers. WEIRD they did bring us little boat trays to share. About 30/45mins we notice the crowd trickling in. They had a birthday party coming thru. So we finished our food and asked for our bill to leave because it was getting party scene crowded. The owner was VERY friendly, he introduced himself and asked how things were. 2 things I should've deducted more stars for, TOTALLY DISGUSTING DIRTY WOMEN'S BATHROOM!!!! With all the women working here they don't see the filth? I mean I almost would've rathered pissed on myself! Smdh Then the parking! Horrible, they blocked it off potentially for the owner/club or vip people, but that left no parking and we had to cross Western which is a busy Horrible street to be crossing late at night in heels or whatever. So they need to do better there. I would go back to party, not to dine in.

It was such a thoughtful touch to our dinner, it made our night. The food was also exceptional, we've been here before and we have always enjoyed their burgers, particularly the Loyalist OG Cheeseburger, it was cooked perfectly and the pickled and charred onion gave it so much flavor and I always love the aioli that comes with it. It was the perfect atmosphere too, I always really enjoy the vibe when we come here, it made celebrating our bonus a great time!

Nice bonus that it wasn't too crowded during the middle of the week. The vibe was fun too. Loved the throwback movies playing in the background which added a nostalgic touch without being distracting. Ordered the French and the Loyalist OG burger. Both were great, but my favorite part was the cheese. I loved the concept of dipping the burger into the cheese;such a simple twist but made the burger feel extra indulgent. Rich, flavorful, and worth the hype. Would absolutely come back when the burger craving hits.
