  I live a few minutes away from this restaurant and it's funny to see the two reviews of the women that give 2 stars.  It's really not that bad..  Let's be honest..
  
    First, i'm sorry to tell you but maybe you SHOULD start writing home to Mom so she can explain to you that you don't order a hot dog and cheese fries at a Mexican restaurant.  I honestly don't know why they offer it to begin with but come on.....  It's like those Dairy Queen commercial's that advertise Chili Cheese Dogs!  I've never tried them but I also will never go to an ice cream parlor and order MEAT.
  
   Customer service is excellent and food is done quick (Hence the "Express" in the name).  It's a little more expensive than other's in the area but it's good.  FAR and I mean FAR from Taco Bell when you're referring to Authentic Mexican food.
  
     Give it a try and stay away from the cheese fries, Hotdogs, corndogs, cotton candy or any other ridiculous food you can think of that's not involved in a Mexican cuisine.

  For those who want good, non-greasy and fresh food... This is not the place! The cheese was old, my taco shells were hard and stale (not to mention extra greasy French fries). I don't see how this place stays so busy. Ugh! Nothing authentic about this place.

  I gotta tell u dude from Highland...I so Disagree with you...They have redone the place..it's real cute inside now with an official dining area but the food is NOT authentic mexican.  Yes the family and service is great..very friendly...and they do make and AMAZING GREEN SALSA...that I could put on anything...but I don't like their food.  Their Mexican food is fake mexican food...it mexicans taking short cuts to save money food...it's let's get aldi products and use them in our cooking food...it's like butter flavored spray...it's so far from the real thing.  I had a torta and tacos there and it was okay...not a ton of meat..nothing to write home about...no grandma's recipes .it's like Jose's shortcuts or somehting..I HATED their cheese fries...ran down there to grab some when I was prego and feening...was so upset...FAKE NACHO CHEESE..it was an oily cheap cheese..which sad to say once you've had you never forget...and we got a hotdog their once...MAYO on the BUN!!! YUCK!! Buy the green salsa their but THAT'S IT!!

  I love this place.  LOVE IT!  They have the best tacos in the entire South 'burbs/NW Indiana area.  
  
  It's an unassuming little storefront which the owners have recently redone.  This is one of those great family run places with no pretense and nice people.  They have a small walk-up counter where you order and two stools along the window to eat and that's it.  But don't be fooled by the sparse accomodations...they're making some really good food.
  
  I could go in depth about all the things I've tried, but it would take too long.  I'll summarize as best I can.  Whether it's steak, chicken, pork it doesn't matter.  They rub it with spices, grill it open flame style, and serve it with awesome smoky flavored beans and rice that doesn't stick together in clumps.  The flavors are just incredible and if you love good salsa/hot sauce then you need to stop reading this and go right now.
  
  They make it right there, using guajillo chiles, and it is so good words don't do it justice.  You could cover anything...old shoes, your tv remote...in this stuff, and it would put a smile on your face.
  
  If you're sick of bland tacos, weak flavors and Americanized Mexican food, come here to cure your blues.
