Stopped by La Rosita Fresh Market in Mount Prospect yesterday for lunch and tried three tacos:…read morechicharrón, asada, and chile relleno. Let me just say... I could only finish two because they were packed! The chicharrón and asada tacos were loaded with flavorful, well-seasoned meat-they definitely don't skimp on the portions, which I really appreciate. I ended up taking the chile relleno taco home because I was so full. They also have four different salsas to choose from: two creamy (red and green) and two traditional watery-style (red and green). Every single one had great flavor, so you can mix and match depending on what you're in the mood for. I think I officially found my new go-to taco spot near work. Great portions, delicious food, and flavorful salsas. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

Very good authentic Mexican restaurant located north of O'Hare airport. It was walking distance…read morefrom my airport hotel (Best Western O'Hare North) and was an unexpected pleasant find. Gratis authentic Corn ships with two types of homemade salsa are served as you arrive where I followed that up with a very tasty large Margarita ($11) and a large El Pastor burrito ($11) which was very good in its own right. The facility itself is clean with a nice Mexican decor and the staff is super friendly, with quick service, nice follow up and an ever present smiling face. So nice to see happy faces versus the dour faces I see too often at some of the restaurants I frequent. Overall it was a very good and enjoyable meal where nibbling on well made chips and salsa and washing it down with a excellent Margarita is hard to beat in my book! I definately will be looking this business up the next time I fly out of O'Hare.

So I can in and made my way to the counter and was told to sit anywhere. I parked my ass in the both and looked over the menu, very quickly. The waitress brought over chips and I placed an order, which was chicken burrito no cheese. It didn't take long for my food to come out, however, that burrito looked tiny as hell! It was not bad, I just could not get over the fact how small it was... Not worth the price tag. D-! No plans to return...

First time there. 11:45am. I ordered a steak Jibarito, tostones, rice and 2x beef pastellilo. I was…read moretold they were out of tostones, which was a bummer after driving so far and being within an hour of opening. The gentleman at the front was a nice guy. I'm not dissing this dude. He must have been on the phone with his dad or mom because he said he had a customer and ended with an "I love you". All good. But I stood there long enough to hear that all play out, waiting to order haha. Anyway the funnier thing was he said "I'll have it to you in under 20". Which I thought was a funny way to phrase when my food would be ready. Like this could be a comedy bit almost. Usually you try to instill confidence that food will be out right away, not establish an upper limit for the time frame haha. Whatever, it was a kid. Also it took 21 minutes (per my receipt time stamp vs watch) The serious part tho... food review. 1. Jibarito was 7/10. Decent flavor on the steak but lacked a bit more. I wont blame the sogginess on the restaurant, it was a long drive home. I put it in the air fryer later. 2. The rice was salty - and I usually like salty. Also more wet and compounded, while also being a little dry like it was from the bottom of the pot? It's hard to explain, but I didn't love it. I wish it had more peas and maybe some pork and less seasoning TBH. 3. Maduros was my side - it was good. 4. Beef pastelilos - 7/10. They were the puffy kind, but more hollow than I'd like - i.e. meat to air ratio. But they were overcooked. I could taste the burned-ness of the dough and it didn't sit well. 5. No tostones - they were out. but a funny story is about 5 mins into my waiting another worker came in, so I could hear them talking in the back. The prior kid said something to the effect of "oh we are out of tostones".. "but I can figure something out". Like it was possible to make... the tostones... which weren't available to me at the time of my ordering... I kind of had a "hell naw" moment, but decided to suppress it. Net net, I ate half my jibarito because it was big. I could not eat anymore rice because it was too salty. And I had one pastelilo because now I'm full. One suggestion - make some pique. I asked for some hot sauce as I received my order and all they could offer were generic packets of what is probably louisiana style hot sauce. I want that habanero pique!!! I think it'll help, at least cut through some of the salty TBH. Also work on the service and timing. 20 mins is too long for 1 jibarito and sides. Thanks!

This place is close to where I work and based of the pictures and reviews it looked like a really…read moregood restaurant. I got the pambazo and it was actually the worst pambazo AND Mexican food that I had ever tried. The bread was super soggy and there was barely any filling, the ratio was like 70% bread 10% toppings and 20% chorizo con papa. On top of that it was cold, and the guy who served me sneezed directly into his hand before handing me the food which honestly should've been the first red flag but I tried to look past it. Thought I feel rude writing this, this place is just so bad I felt the need to even leave this review so maybe it can save someone from spending money here and get something better instead. I didn't take a picture of the food because I didn't plan to even write this but think twice before eating here
