    Mediocre Mexican fare , our server Gigi was sweet and attentive . We had the chicken fajitas and chicken enchiladas. The restaurant had other folks during lunch in for business meetings.

    The food is so good, and the portions are nice. It never disappoints. I tried their watermelon salad, and my goodness it was delicious. The service is good too. You must try.

    Very fresh, absolutely delicious. I look forward to returning. The black bean soup was perfect.

    I enjoyed this place a lot actually. It is a secret gem in Matteson that is quite hidden but if you're familiar with the hibachi place then just look right next door! It is owned by a nice lady whom my parents had the pleasure of meeting on their first visit (I didn't make it). This time that I went she wasn't there, but still happy to support small local businesses! The waitress was really nice and attentive to us which is always appreciated! The food was all a hit. Everyone enjoyed their meal and there were 0 complaints. I had the seafood fondue which i made into tacos with my side of rice & beans. My dad wasn't full from his crepes so he ordered a queso dip afterwards. My mother enjoyed her carne asada & nopales. Overall good meal and the place itself gives old Mexican town vibes - I liked the ambiance.

    Sadly, I don't have any photos of my food because I just devoured it. It was absolutely delicious though. Just trust me! I had a chicken tamale added some green sauce, a beef tostada and queso fundido con camaron. It's a weekday but I'm so surprised that others are not aware of this spot. My food was delicious and the service was amazing. Yorlenny was so accommodating for making a custom spicy jalapeño Cadillac margarita for me at my request. I definitely plan to return.

    My friend called and said Hey, I wanna try this place! Coincidentally, I had just mentioned it so someone else so I was on board. We met for lunch and was greeted the moment we walked in. So gracious was the hostess as she led us to our table and gave us the run down on specials and the events they were having. We ordered drinks and had a few questions which she gladly answered. I had the strawberry daiquiri which was tasty. They have tables with sidewall seating with cushions but all the seats need cushions if you ask me. It was nice decor with enough room to be comfortable and not on top of one another. We started off with the guac which comes out quite festive with beets, radishes and cucumbers in a vinaigrette which was good. We added salt to the guac and it was good. We also had a free taste of the chicken noodle soup. So good! Everything tasted fresh. My friend had tacos that she loved and it came with rice and beans. She's not a huge bean fan but liked the rice. I had a chicken quesadilla minus the mushroom-they are not my thing! No sides came with that entrée. It came on a corn torilla which I enjoyed better than the regular four. It was crispy and tasty! With the chips and salsa, guac, soup and entree, we wound up taking most of our meal home.

    Visiting my son and he suggested this "place for tacos". Well it was way beyond tacos. This is a jewel of a place literally hidden in south suburban Chicago. The chef is adventurous and he goes way beyond traditional Mexican fare. We had an amazing mussels in chipotle sauce, that you will want extra bread for dipping. My son had a massive salmon burrito. He said the salmon was cooked to perfection. The chefs special was a four cheese ravioli with crawfish and a delicious sauce. Again, not your typical Mexican dish but terrific. The place was sadly deserted on a Tuesday night. I hope people check it out as it deserves love.

    This place is a hidden gem. Really surprised that more people don't know about it. The food is super fresh. The service is friendly. The chef is always in the back whipping up something. Absolutely my favorite spot in Matteson now.

    We stopped by on a Saturday night after another event, since it popped up as one of the only places…read moreclose to our location that was open and serving food since it was after 10pm. The parking lot was actually full so we had to park on the side. They had security at the door to search you before entering. It's actually a pretty large open space, with seating, slot machines, a pool table, and a dance floor. The DJ was high energy and played to the crowd. There were actually quite a few menu options and we went with the fried cauliflower bites and chicken wings and shrimp. The food was ok. It looked good - but wasn't seasoned. Overall, not a bad spot to try if you're in the area.

The bar stools we were told were recently changed-the old ones were worse- and they can use another improvement. They are still too short for the bar if you eat there. Your elbows are up to your shoulders when eating, do yourself a favor and go to a table. Other than that, the inside was nice and the music was good. The sign is off to the side so keep going past the Subway and you will find it. There was also the dreaded liquor meter. Some nights I think there is a cover. We ordered the catfish and chicken wing basket that came with fries. The fries were good and crispy. The chicken was good and was seasoned. I was not a fan of the coating but it was okay. The fish I did not get into much as the coating was not for me. They did offer sauces on the side or on the food and that was good. My friend had the garlic parmesan which he liked, i had the buffalo hot sauce.
