    Goat burrito WAS GOOD.
    Roxy F.

    They had a good appetizer. Chorizo and cheese. The taco salad did not have much beans or rice in fact I barely seen any. The rice was dry and the beans are very bland. You do have to ask for cilantro. My other half had a goat burrito, that was good. And my other person had pork stew that what she said it was, by this point I didn't try it, she liked it though ,again she said rice was dry. The food was bland,dried out and incomplete. The service was good, brought sides too late although they were very nice. The place was clean . Plenty of parking. Would I go back no. You get what you pay for. It is affordable.

    Needed to stop off for a quick bite, wanted a steak taco. Clean and very friendly staff, was greeted right away. Those two factors right there could make for a great restaurant but the taco did not have any flavor and was dry. So much potential, but must work on the taste, great location, and fast service.

    Arrachera Asada. A thin pounded skirt steak that . . . I don't know how they did it with it being so thin, but was a perfect medium rare.

    A stellar place just south of O'Hare. Great food and great service. Chips and salsa were provided when we sat down, and the salsa had a nice kick. I had their Arrachera Asada. A thin pounded skirt steak that . . . I don't know how they did it with it being so thin, but was a perfect medium rare. Grilled cactus, jalapeno and bulb onions. Was excellent. A great find

    The tostadas de al pastor were delicious, meat was tender and they put a lot, service here is always friendly, employees are great.

    Was hungry and I thought it's my fav zacatacos restaurant order a steak . It comes in with something that I didn't know what was it. It's starched in photo , steak wet full of extra juice not steaks. Charged me 26$ for carne asada no drink. The steak tasted like raw bull balls. Had a door to it. Wasted my 26$ and fucked up my hunger always happen to me that my personal thing. Fucked up experience. I wish they tasted their food before giving it to customers. Please don't go here don't destroy ur peace just go another place u know it's good food. Their food is miserable

    Hands down, THE BEST BIRRIA TACOS I'VE HAD!! This place here is a hit. It was recommended to me by a nurse at Gottlieb named Perla. She hit the nail on the head with this place. This was the best consume. So much flavor, so much cheese and I was full off just one. But believe me the second one didn't last long, I ate that within two hours. The presentation of the plating was beautiful. I can't wait to come back here. Seriously my #1 spot. It's near Ohare where I work and the hospitality here is immaculate. I just want to come back and take pictures of all the amazing food. The horchata was nice as well. Very fulfilling. The pineapple water was delicious. It hit the spot on a hot sunny day in Chicago.

    From the outside the place looks like an office. I saw the sign zacatecas so i thought its a restaurant. The food and service. I tried the caldo de res and an order of taco asada. The broth was just parfect and the meat is very tender. It was good. I went here on a mid afternoon. So the restaurant was quiet and i was served fast.

    Chicken taco salad

    This place was so good! I got the chicken taco salad, and it was one of the best things I've ever had.

    Salsa and chips good but not fresh

    Well originally craving for Mexican going to franchise Pepe's but unfortunately I couldn't make it there because I am around the vicinity in Franklin Park by just tires to get a wheel alignment and it's going to take him almost the entire day since I came late around 11:00 a.m. and was craving for Mexican food specifically Pepe's franchise but had to look for a local Mexican restaurant in Franklin Park in this was given rating reviews. It's a decent Mexican hole in the wall Mexican restaurant locally in Franklin Park. That's the three stars I don't know why it's considered the best? The corn chips they bring out to you with the salsa was okay especially the tortillas it wasn't the freshest but it wasn't the worst it was good now they're guacamole that I ordered extra was very fresh that I give them good credit for if not great thank. I know this is not true Mexican eating tex-mexer fajitas but I do give them a decent credit on the beef, shrimp and chicken combination fajita with your standard mole sour cream and that fresh guacamole I liked. I usually don't order sodas but I went for the jarritos lime soda which was what I was craving for. No fried ice cream like Pepe's but went for the flan instead which was also delicious and fresh but nothing unique or out of this world. Staff was a super attentive and quick delivering the food price wise a bit expensive especially for fajitas getting up to $20 was expecting a little more but it's satisfied since I've experienced other Mexican restaurants generously giving a lot more in fajitas. Otherwise to summarize a good decent hole in the wall local Mexican restaurant but not something I would be obsessed going to since I don't consider it the best but at the same time from the other hello Yelp reviews trying to say it's the best would be an overstatement but it's decent and good. Note beware if you are paying with credit card they charge an SVC or service charge that shocked me. It was $1.78 more which I didn't understand because they already gave me the bill yet when I was submitted my credit card to pay my debt I saw like a difference in the cost. I had to dress the cashier about that and I told them despite that they have a sign up in front about that on credit card payments they should put it on their receipts.

The fresh-cut fries were a standout too... crispy, hot, and exactly how fries should be. We also tried the stuffed artichoke and that was next level. Packed with flavor and cooked just right -- easily one of the best I've had. If you're looking for great food that's done right, Schwings is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.

Upon entering, the place was dead with only one customer eating. Marcy took our order and she was not the kindest person. The food came out fresh after we waited for over 15 minutes, but was nothing special. Very greasy and lacked flavor. She was unprofessional on the phone talking to Uber Eats and it made the meal uncomfortable on top of the tacky and random marine animal decor and poor choice of music playing in the TV. Their restaurant is lacking severely in taste and hospitality. I patiently waited to request for sauces that she forgot to give and she made it seem like I was intruding and interrupting her. She looked over at our table with a rude look and was displeased to give us the ranch that is included in the combo meal. The cole slaw is shredded to pieces and has no bite, the catfish was undercooked and too soft, the shrimps still had shells under the batter, and the chicken wings were small. Everything was extremely oily. They are charging extra for hot sauce, but it literally is just Louisiana hot sauce in a tiny dipping cup. Our total for two meals was $33. You're better off going to another chicken and seafood restaurant for a better deal and price. I was going to do a food vlog at this place, but they are not worth the time wasted to edit and spotlight.

    Looking at fries piled directly on top of a hot dog, my back immediately warned me, "That is a…read moredangerous game to play!" But I had to see what the hype around Gene & Jude's was all about. ​I caught them at a great time with a short line. Their menu is delightfully simple and typical classic Chicago style with minimalist topping choices (mustard, relish, onion, sport peppers) so ordering was a breeze. A single dog with fries and a medium drink came out to about $9. ​While waiting, I loved watching their team work like a well-oiled machine behind the counter. Fresh hand-cut potatoes were dropping into the fryer, and the assembly crew was constantly building dogs and piling massive heaps of steaming fries on top. High output, fantastic energy! I even asked one of the prep guys if I could snap a picture, and he was super cool about it. ​The meal itself was awesome. The fries were piping hot, perfectly salted, and very generous in portion. Once I dug down to the dog, that first bite took me by complete surprise, the snap of the natural casing and the flavor were incredible. Before I knew it, I was clearing the paper wrapper and completely understanding why people order double dogs or multiple single dogs. Be warned it will have your back talking to you too. Lol! Highly recommended legend!

My friend started talking to the guys behind us asking them if they been here before. What do you guys get? A double dog with fries. Could you get the hot dog without fries? They asked, Why? So you do what the locals do and order a double dog with everything on it. I asked for extra mustard because that's how I eat my fries. Don't ask for ketchup because they laughed at my friend for asking. It's definitely one of those spots you go to late night or like us, after a show. It's a fun hangout spot where a few girls pull up in their hot cars. Order food and eat it on the car hood with drinks getting spiked. The bottle still out, I should have asked for a pour in my beverage too.
