4 Banderas

They are back up and up and running -I noticed when I passed by this week on the way home from work....can't wait to try it!

Original msg: Does anyone know if this place is still open? I've driven past it several times and it always looks closed...?

I have been driving by this place for about a year on my way over to DePaul and have always been curious about what they offer (Puerto Rican, Cuban, Mexican and American are the 4 flags).  We finally made time to stop in here on Saturday and were not disappointed.

I had the steak dinner which was seasoned flank steak (literally like a quarter of the cow was on my plate!) tostones and rice with pigeon peas.  The husband got the ground beef taco dinner with rice and beans.  All this food could have fed 4 people - so it was a good thing we were hungry!  We also had chips with salsa verde while we waited.  And the bill was like $17 - so reasonable.

One star off for the lengthy wait - fresh to order, but still, 35 minutes when there are only two other tables of 2-3 people in the place is a lot.  (Especially when the beans and rice have to be done already and making meat on a grill takes like 5 minutes).

I will definitely be back to try some of the sandwiches and to have more of the yummy tostones!!

This place is SOLID for breakfast on the way to work.  It's the only non-chain open on this strip of Fully before 8AM so gracias al Senor it's good -- I get sick of tamales and champurrado!
(Point off cuz it smells funny.)
