    First time here!
    Jessica L.

    So my friend was told to try out the Lobster Tacos here, "They're " to be exact. So she grabbed an order of 3 and posted on Snapchat. I love trying new things and I have not had lobster tacos, I immediately asked her where she got them and I hurried to make an order of my own. The lady cashing out was friendly, it was about a 20 min cook time which was no rush for me. I also ordered their garlic mashed potatoes, I don't know why but I wanted to try them. After eating my tacos and potatoes, I send a message to my friend to make sure we thought the same thing. You can taste that the food is very fresh and healthy but lacks actual taste. I really wonder what their nachos taste like. I might be back.

    My mom and I stopped by here for lunch! We are so glad they re-opened and we found the new location! We got the fish burrito, chicken tacos and a side of beans and rice. Everything was really good and fresh! Chicken was well seasoned and not dry! The fish burrito well balanced with all the toppings and the black beans were yummy! My only complaint is the refried beans had no flavor at all! The texture and consistency was fine but it needed butter or some salt as it was very bland. We will be back though!

    So much food!!

    Boyfriend and I were in the area for a craft show (unique Christmas gifts) and we decided to YELP nearby places for food. We love Mexican food and this place caught our eye for great reviews and "the best fish tacos" which they are known for. Service: 5 stars- excellent! The girls were so sweet and helpful! They knew the menu and gave great recommendations. I think they need to add a tip jar because they were great! Food: The food decent. We loved the steak tostada and the burrito. It didn't really have a traditional Mexican taste, but it was yummy. The portions were huge and filling. I would recommend the Horchata (which was fantastic). I loved the sour cream packets as well as the wrapped silverware. The only thing that I do not recommend is the nacho cheese. We ordered the "medium" and it was like a soup bowl- which isn't a bad thing but it wasn't the best cheese I've had. The place was clean with plenty of parking and just a fun place to be! I loved the decorations as well. Check out the Christmas-Palm Tree!

    Holy "guacamole" where do I begin... it definitely didn't look like your typical Mexican restaurant when we walked in, but after looking at the menu online, we decided we wanted to give it a go. The 3 employees working seemed as though they had no interest in being there whatsoever. The older lady who took our order was quite unfriendly and generally acted like we were a bother. I ordered a chipotle steak and potato burrito (no bell peppers, add cheese), a battered fish taco on a corn tortilla (no cucumber), and a chicken quesadilla for us to share. My boyfriend ordered a bacon breakfast burrito and the 2 chicken tamales for $3.99. It all came with complimentary chips and salsa. I was intrigued by the chips as there were some regular white ones, and some blue corn ones too! I like blue corn chips. Honestly, they were nothing special and kinda just tasted like a bag of Tostito's. The salsas were SO BLAND. NO FLAVOR. The green one was mediocre at best. The steak and potato burrito... the garlic mash inside was great! But that's all... the steak was extremely dry and flavorless. The chipotle mayo really lacked chipotle. The tortilla was stale and hard in some places. I honestly feel like I was eating a child's concoction of garlic mash, mayo and dry leftover meat. It really reminded me of a sleepover where children dare each other to eat strange combinations of foods. The fish taco... the item that is most boasted... wasn't bad! Definitely could tell it was a beer batter. The fish part was good. The chipotle mayo, again, no flavor. It generally comes with cabbage, chipotle mayo, cilantro and cucumber. I ordered it without cucumber. I'm pretty sure they just used a bag salad and not cabbage, considering I had strips of carrot on my taco? The tortilla was cold, hard and stale. All in all, I've had far better breaded fish tacos at a fraction of the cost here. The breakfast burrito was so obviously made with powdered eggs, which was a real disappointment given the cost! My boyfriend said that he could have just as easily gotten the same thing, only better, from McDonald's. The tamales.. oh the tamales.. after my first bite, the words that came out of my mouth were "oh no, honey... what are you doing?!" Dry. Bland. Itty bitty. Tasteless, texture NIGHTMARE. I was very disappointed with these. I love tamales, and I order them frequently. The quesadilla.. that chicken quesadilla. I am so disappointed. I was excited because of the way they describe their chicken, being cooked over a fire in secret seasonings and juices... got my mouth WATERING. What did I get? I got what could only be described as bad quality, bland STEAMED chicken, and some oily, melted cheddar cheese on a flour tortilla. It kind of reminded me of all those "don't get paid until next week so I gotta throw together what's in the fridge" meals. Suffice to say that we won't be returning. It wasn't worth the $33 and change. I give 2 stars, because I see what they're trying to do, but they are failing miserably! Bland and expensive food. Terrible presentation. Unfriendly staff. Get it together!

    The salmon sounds delicious!

    I came here for lunch with my sister who is from Cincinnati. Food was delicious! I had the burrito with grilled tilapia, and my sister had the supreme nachos with beef. Everything was flavorful! I tried the nachos, just the right amount of cheese, meat and guacamole. My seafood, cabbage, fish.. perfect. I always love eating here.

    This food is outstanding. We love the grilled and baha fish tacos best. The homemade guacamole is a must with warm chips.

    Loved this restaurant so much…read more First time here and definitely will be returning soon. The gentleman taking our order was so kind. Very easy and relaxing space. You order at the front and take a seat. If you're dining in, you get complimentary chips and salsa which we loved. A nice lady brought out our food to our table when it was ready. We were so pleased with the presentation and the freshness of our meals. We had the taco dinner and enchilada with mole. Wonderful flavors. Perfect experience. Thanks so much to the wonderful staff for making us feel so welcome. We will look forward to seeing you soon.

    I decided to try this place while passing through Lombard, despite the restaurant being nearly…read moreempty at lunch which, in hindsight, should've been my first red flag. I ordered a ground beef burrito, expecting, well, ground beef. What I got instead was something with the consistency of dog food and the color of pink salmon and turns out, from what I can identify, it was corned beef, not ground beef. One bite in and I knew something was off. It tasted awful, like some kind of canned frankenstein concoction, and not at all what I paid for. I get that beef prices are high right now, but swapping in canned corned beef paste and calling it a "ground beef burrito" feels like a straight-up scam. Beware: if you're expecting actual ground beef in your burrito, go elsewhere fast. Otherwise you'll be paying real money for something that doesn't even resemble what's on the menu. Update: Owner's rebuttal is classic "don't believe your lying eyes" playbook; unsurprisingly the statements made is quite verbose but lacks any substance much like their food.

You have a choice of queso or guac as a starter, both are small. Chips and salsa are also gratis. After that you have a choice of two items from a list of about 8 or 9 items. I had the chicken quesadilla and tostada. Upgrade to add bean and rice for a buck. My colleagues fish taco wasn't worth the extra $2 according to her. I thought everything was fresh and delicious. More lunch than both of us needed, I'd pass on the rice/beans in the future. Service was good. Attentive but everything was her favorite on the menu, not very helpful. Seating in indoors or out.

My server was pretty slow and seemed distracted, sometimes gone for 20 minutes at a time. I basically had to lock eyes with him just to get his attention. He was a younger guy, so hopefully he tightens that up. Also, if someone notes in their reservation that they're bringing a baby and a car seat, it would make more sense to seat them at a booth instead of in the middle of the restaurant, especially when booths are open. Overall, I'd say it was about a 7/10 experience.
