    Carne Asada
    Lisa R.

    You just can't go wrong with the carne asada here! Absolutely delicious and the chicken is some of the best we've had!!! The rice, beans, tortillas, chips and salsa all top notch. We will be coming here more often for sure!

    One of the best places to eat tacos in the area. I dinned in here on a busy sunday. It was packed with many customers. I ordered the asada tacos. It was good. I would definitely comeback

    Carne Apache!!! If you love carne asada try this better version!!

    I can not figure out the bad reviews. The place is full of local community people eating here all the time. They do a busy takeaway business. The meals first amazing chips and salsa. I had the grilled chicken steaks enchiladas burritos tortas and the carne apache. All were great and I've eaten all the places in melrose and Berwyn. The must try is the carne apache cut up steak grilled with onions and chilli de abrol just amazing. The homemade tortillas are thick but I love them. A lot has been said about the waitstaff but we have a server and she is so friendly greats us takes great of us and honestly is one of the nicest servers. I think some people don't get the vibe you seat urself go up to register to pay and the staff is Mexican so English is the second language there but smile and all they staff is so helpful.

    Best menudo I've had in the Chicagoland area. The staff is super friendly and we always have excellent service.

    I said well done. This is definitely not it.

    Been going here for a few years and it leeos getting worse. Today we asked for the tampiqueña well done. And it was red. So disappointing especially with the price. You would expect it to be as you ordered. Last time We ordered two chickens. One was super dry and the other almost pink. Last time we will be going here unfortunately.

    The food was a 3 star performance but the service knocked it down, big time. I don't understand how they only have 2 waitresses for the entire restaurant that was about 90% full on a day where most Spanish people celebrate their Mother's Day today. Nothing new with the parrillada. A lot of meat cooked to be eaten. The meat was nice and tender mixed in with vegetables. It also came with rice and beans. The rice and beans were mediocre at best. The star was the meat. We also had the grilled chicken. Some parts were nicely done and some dry. The ones that were done correctly tasted good and had a lot of flavor but mostly towards the bones and not the meat. The service was horrible! We got our appetizers and our entrees before even getting our drinks, not even water. I usually rate my service on how they refill my cup of water and they didn't. Mix in that I didn't even receive anything to drink until half of the meal was finished made it worse. I don't blame it all on the wait staff, the management is to blame for not adequately staffing during busy times.

    We Oder to pick up and here is the tacos ! OMG Looks like they are running out of cilantro and onion or must be expensive!!! Not nice !!!

    Pretty tasty salsa

    If I were to just talk about the carne asada and margarita that I ordered, I would give this place 2 stars. But because I came with a group, I was able to taste some of the other dishes which bumped this up to a 3. The carne asada was expensive ($13) for what you get and my small steak was extremely dry. The margarita was the worst one I've ever had in my life. I guess I was a little concerned when the waitress asked if I wanted liquor in it. Well, yeah! Do I look like I drink Virgin anything? Yes, please, add liquor. The drink came out and had no liquor in it and if it did, it was probably like a thimble-size amount. A baby thimble. The top of the drink had like half an inch of foam from I'm hoping the margarita mix and not from anything else. The good things were the half roasted chicken which was extremely tender and something I would get again, the house made tortillas and the fresh salsa. Worst Margarita Ever! -Comic Book Guy

    I stopped coming here cause the waitresses were always rude and food wasn't good enough to deal with unfriendly service.
