    Chicken Fajitas
    Kruti P.

    AMAZING chicken fajitas and margaritas!!! From the outside this restaurant looks small, but when you walk in, it's very spacious. The staff there is wonderful and provides great customer service. We ordered the chicken fajitas and tacos. The tacos were ok - I'm not a fan of (dry) shredded chicken. Highly recommend this restaurant!

    Great place like always. Local Mexican restaurant with solid food and great service. The location isn't too bad either. I would recommend trying it out if you haven't. The carne asada was perfectly cooked and the margarita was amazing. Good crowd with all ages. Definitely give it a shot.

    I don't believe I caught my servers name, but I think it was Mary. She was bartending and serving 20+ people. Knew her regulars, was excellent and had time to speak Spanish with me during my first visit here. Thoroughly enjoyed the platinum margarita, the Guacamole and the asada quesadilla. Delicious, reasonably priced for Rosemont, and nice environment. Would recommend it and especially the server/bartender for professionalism and courtesy.

    I love this place.. it's been years but their food is still amazing. The service is good and I love the casual ambiance. I had the steak enchiladas that are so yummy. I will definitely be back

    The guacamole was the best I have had. My daughter got the carne asada and she loved it. The jalapeño was so delicious and spicy. The steak was also solid. I got the spicy chicken Azteca and it was great, with some heat and great rice and beans. Great meal!

    An impromptu decision to try the restaurant after leaving the tattoo festival had feeling like we made the best decision of the night. Somebody's abuela was preparing each plate with love. The restaurant offered a great atmosphere with good music and an amazing server who provided excellent recommendations. We will definitely be back....

    Came here for dinner on 7/10/24. They were super busy around 6:30pm and we didn't have a reservation so we had to wait about 15 minutes for an open table. I looked on both Yelp and google before we came to see if they had a waitlist but they don't utilize those apps. There isn't anywhere to sit inside so we just stood to the side and tried to be out of the way of all the traffic. After we were sat our server Martin greeted our table. He was nice but wasn't very attentive and was very rushed every time he came by the table. We had several menu questions and eventually ended up ordering the Botana Compuesta appetizer to share. The menu description isn't very detailed and It should say the quesadillas are cheese, the tamale is chicken, the mini flautas are beef and that it comes with bean and cheese nachos. None of that is on the menu. The nachos aren't even listed and were a nice surprise. I wanted a small margarita but they only come in one size, the goblet cup and so I passed. The food was delivered in reasonable time and was hot. We enjoyed the platter but it's such a heavy appetizer that it filled us up to the point where we both decided not to order the entrees we originally had in mind. My friend ordered a taco meal to go. We were celebrating something and I had brought my friend balloons, flowers and a small mini cake. Our server didn't acknowledge that we were there to celebrate something which I thought was a missed customer service/hospitality opportunity. Even if you don't care, engagement with the customer would provide a better overall experience. I did ask for permission to eat the cake I brought in and was told it was ok. He also brought us clean plates and utensils. Again, this was a busy restaurant. It was loud on the inside, crowded and you could tell the waiter was kept busy serving multiple tables including large parties. The parking lot was full but we caught someone leaving and snagged their spot. The food was good and I enjoyed visiting with my friend. I would suggest reservations if you're heading here for dinner as it might expedite your table.

The chips and salsa were also way better than your typical starter. The chips came out warm and crisp, and the salsa was smooth, flavorful, and super addictive. We also tried a few drinks, and they were excellent -- well-made, not overly sweet, and a great way to start the night before heading to the game. Our server was amazing -- friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They kept checking in at all the right times and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable even with the pre-game crowd. Definitely a great spot to hit anytime you're in the area looking for solid Mexican food and a fun vibe.

Starting with margaritas (because obviously ‍), queso and chips that were dangerously good, and the chicken empanadas that came out perfectly crispy with so much flavor. We kept looking at each other after every bite like "okay wait... THIS is the best thing here" and then another plate would arrive and prove us wrong again The carnitas fried rice??? I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it. So savory, flavorful, comforting, and packed with crispy carnitas on top with the eggs and pickled onions... literally unreal. And then the skirt steak tacos absolutely stole the show. The steak was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and paired so perfectly with all the toppings and sauces. Every single bite tasted fresh and homemade in the best way possible. And can we talk about the ambience for a second because WOW. The music, the energy, the vibe inside, everyone celebrating, the drinks flowing -- it felt like the perfect Cinco de Mayo dinner spot.

Appetizers were quac and chips, and shrimp ceviche. The guac was really good, but the ceviche was the star. Served on a bed of cucumbers, it was visually beautiful, and the flavor was fresh and complex. There was also a LOT of it. We ended up taking some home. Entrees were steak and shrimp for me, and Tampiquena for my friend. In both dishes, the steak was done to perfection. The sauce that came with my shrimp was spicy and deep--lots of flavor layers there. Both of us took home portions of our meals because there was a lot of food on the plates. Finally, the service--the servers are attentive without hovering. If we needed something, they were there, but never intrusive. It is hard to believe this is a little neighborhood spot, given the service and the quality of the food. It was not too busy tonight--we ate early--but I recommend reservations. It is very popular with the neighborhood. Bottom line, we each had 2 margaritas, appetizers, and entrees, and our bills with tip were around $105.00 each--totally worth it!
