    It was supposed to be a tostada - gross!
    Janay G.

    I ordered $60 worth of food and when I opened the ONE piece of food for me it was disgusting. They didn't even bother to package it correctly. They wrapped it in aluminum foil and dumped all the salsa cups on top of it. I unwrapped it and the cheese was stuck to the top of the foil and the tortillas were soggy. When I called to complained they told me to complain to door dash. No interest in making it right. I will NOT be ordering from them again- not because of the mistake, because of the way I was spoken to by the manager and her lack of interest in keeping a customer that has ordered from them over 30 times since they've been open.

    Steak Gorditas. Very dry

    No tables for dine in so that was a shocker considering they advertise dine-in. They still have their plastic covid wall up between you and the cashier which makes it hard to order / hear. Chicken Meat is seasoned pretty well but they put so much sour cream you can hardly taste the meat in the burritos. Wife got the steak Taco dinner. Mediocre at best. The steak was very unseasoned. Rice was super super bland. The beans were interesting but not horrible. Also tried their Steak Gorditas but they were super dry. Had to dip in salsa to make it edible Took a lot longer than expected to cook. Not the best but in a pinch it'll do. Lots of better Mexican restaurants Staff seems like they have an attitude and not the friendliest.

    It's absolutely my favorite place to get tacos. I can't imagine going anywhere else. They are hands down the best

    Cheese Enchiladas Verdes
    Derrik B.

    After living in the neighborhood for a year, we finally found ourselves ordering from this place. I have been going to Nottoli and Sons for a while and Meson Del Taco Express is just a block down from there. The menu was exciting with the option for a chimichanga or plenty of tacos, and we went enchiladas verde with cheese, chili relleno, and three tilapia tacos served with Spanish rice and beans and a choice of three salsas. The red salsa was wonderful, juicy and flavorful - the verde was sweet and spot on - and the last salsa was cilantro free with a little heat. The size of the fish portion was huge and marinated very well, delicious and filling! The enchiladas were top notch with so much cheese you could mistake one single enchilada for a slice of Lous pizza - so much cheese pull on these enchiladas! There was a slight seasoning on top of the dish that made it unique and set the dish into a higher level. Last, the relleno was filling - a large portion topped with sauce, peppers and tortillas on the side. Definitely a new go to spot!

    Chilaquiles
    Dalia D.

    Doesnt look like much when you walk pass. Another Chicago taco shop? WRONG. I live literally across the street and thank heaven for it coz these are some fire ass Mexican food. I've had their el pastor tacos, no onion or cilantro, FIRE. Right now I'm eating their chilaquiles and them boys are HOT. And so delicious. They didn't get all cheap with the cheese either and plenty of sour cream on the salad! Do not snooze on this place.

    Bad avocado they charge $.75 for each

    It's a no for me Dawg. Meat was hard, charge extra for some blackened avocado, and the interior just makes me uncomfortable. I'd rather be overcharged somewhere I know the food is quality.

The aguachiles were easily our favorite -- super fresh and full of flavor, with really well-balanced ingredients. You can tell the food is made to order and not rushed. 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. The service was also AMAZING from start to finish and made the entire experience even better.
