Ordered 5 tacos -- 3 asada, 3 chicharron. I usually go across the street to Charro for chicharron, but was happy to see they had them here. Chicharron tacos were solid, no complaints there. Unfortunately, the steak (asada) tacos really missed the mark. Tough, dry, and lacked flavor. I did order about 45 minutes before closing, but that shouldn't be an excuse for serving subpar food. If the kitchen's winding down, I'd rather be told what's fresh and what's not than be served something that clearly sat too long. Hoping it was just a one-off, but first impressions matter. read more

Every time I am back from college, I make it a goal to stop here and grab a steak burrito. They have some of the best authentic Mexican food I've ever had. The restaurant is very lively, with people always performing or doing karaoke, which creates a great atmosphere. The servers are very nice, and always do a great job. The food here is also very, very affordable escpalyl compared to other places I've tried. Overall, this is just a great restaurant, and I encourage everyone to try it! read more

Food service was great but if your stomach is weak, take some medicine please, otherwise i loved it.

TLDR: Trash food, and even trashier service from the owner. Will get your order wrong as evidenced by the other reviews, then will aggressively berate you for their own mistake. Avoid this place like the plague. Never have I had a more atrocious experience with a restaurant, which is saying a lot. Because this restaurant does not allow modified instructions in the Doordash app, I called to make a simple request of only pastor, beans, and rice in my burritos. I asked twice for confirmation, and the cashier said it would be made just how I told her. So I went ahead and ordered the burritos, and when they arrived - surprise - it had everything I had asked to leave out, and without the rice to boot. So the cashier had taken my order, told me twice it would be relayed properly, then hung up and didn't bother to relay it at all. By that time, the store was already closed, and the next day I didn't have time to drive to the restaurant. So I drove to the restaurant early the following day with the incorrect order, which was where the absurdity started. The owner came out, I explained the situation and politely asked if I could receive a replacement burrito, considering it was the restaurant's error and I had driven all the way there. The owner immediately laid into me aggressively telling me to go contact Doordash for a refund, and that she wouldn't get any money if she replaced my burrito, ranting "you know how many of you people come here asking the same thing". After 5 minutes of explaining to her that I wouldn't be there in the first place if the restaurant had simply gotten the order correct, she begrudgingly said she would make a one-time exception... then literally 5 seconds later went back on what she had just said, saying she changed her mind and to go contact Doordash. WTF? I have never seen someone flip-flop on their word that quickly in my life, much less the owner of an establishment. It was genuinely appalling how utterly hell-bent she was to save on the cost of 2 burritos. Throughout the entire 10 minutes I was talking to her, she absolutely refused to acknowledge that the restaurant had any part in the incorrect order. It was mind-blowing how greedy and single-mindedly obtuse this owner was. In the end I ended up just walking out and throwing the burritos away. Oh and in case you were wondering, the burrito tasted like sh*t. There was not a single person there when I came in - I wonder why. Save your money and order from Taqueria Los Comales down the street instead, their food is amazing. And they get their orders right. And best of all, the owner isn't a greedy, combative money-grubber who berates you for the restaurant's own error. read more

We typically like the food and atmosphere especially when it's karaoke night and the crowd is really having a good time. My issue is with the service. Some waitresses are nice, but I've had multiple really bad experiences with the same woman behind the bar and one specific server. They make you feel like you are annoying them. Please improve the service soon. We would love to continue coming. read more

I like this place a lot. The name of the restaurant puzzles me, but not in a bad way. When I walked in my first impression was: The owners take a lot of pride in their restaurant. It was clean, and festive looking. I ordered three steak tacos. They offer a choice of authentic Mexican tacos (cilantro and diced onions), or Americanized (tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, etc). I ordered authentic. The tacos came with lime wedges, a whole, roasted, jalapeño pepper, and a side of grilled onions (nice touch). Everything was delicious. My bill was $7.90 for three tacos and a bottle of Mexican Coke (real sugar). Can't beat the price! Food and service were excellent. I will definitely come back. read more

Un asco de servicio. Horrible service, felt like we were annoying the waitress to do her job and serve us, was charged extra $2 per taco to do veggie instead of meat. (I always as for veggie at every other Waukegan restaurant, never been charged extra to replace meat with veggie)Asked for separate checks waitress came tossed a handwritten stack of notes for us to figure out what each of us ordered and should pay on our own account. When I complained to the owner's daughter about the service she told me I was rude for complaining to her. Never going back there again! read more

I love this place, my boyfriend and I go here at least once a week. My problem is let's say we come here 3 times in a week which has happen 3 outa 3 times my order is wrong. I order a chicken burrito with only cheese and sour cream. I get not very traditional but i don't feel like it's a hard order. I always end up with lettuce or beans or onions in my burrito. Last time they gave me a sandwich. Not even a burrito. Will keep coming here but just know your food is going to come out wrong. read more
