The food is cheap and fast. But you get what you pay for.
I had the chicken burrito. The chicken, beans, and rice were tasteless.
If you are looking for a burrito, torta, chimichanga, or any other Mexican delight in Logan Square, just walk a few blocks east on Fullerton and hit up El Pacifico (3534 West Fullerton). They offer not only great service, but outstanding eats.

I just moved back to Logan Square and was super psyched to see this place close to my new flat. Â I love the HUGE Piedra Del Sol (Aztec Calendar) wood carving they have hanging. Â Awesome piece. I've visited about 6 times and have had the chance to try a variety of items. Â I'm not a fan of the Carne Asada Burritos, but the cook said that he would make Bean, Cheese, and Rice even though it wasnt on the menu, which I thought was a very cool move. Â The hot dogs were dookie. Â However, I loved the Italian Beef and Gyro's. Â Both of which were surpisingly good. Â I will definitely be an avid supporter of this local joint for the duration of my stay here, but I had to deduct a star for the crappy hot dog and sometimes not so crisp fries.
Check out the 2 gyro deal, sooo clutch!
Ive been eating here through all the past owners and its still as good as ever. The only thing that ever changes are the fries and boy do they evolve! Anyway skip getting mexican food here, not that that isnt good but the main stage definitely belongs to their gyros. Straight off the spit better than most greek joints, and they arent stingy with their meat!
Review Source:I love great finds like this!! I wandered in this little Mexican dive while my car was getting repaired at Chicago Motors. Â Had the best veggie burrito I've had in years! Â I love Mexican food and hey, this is Chicago, so I have a lot of it. Â Therefore the best burrito I've had in years is pretty darn good! Â The very nice man that took our order and made our food didn't charge for us to add avocado's, either. Â Sweet!!
Review Source:Best pork taco I've ever had in my life. You go in this place looking for some fancy schmancy restaurant you're going to wrong place. But in my experience, the best places to eat are the ones that just make good food and don't worry about the rest. And this place does. Also, it's cheap, cheap, cheap. Love it.
Review Source:Five stars for classy, kind people who own and run this place, and who obviously care if you are enjoying yourself and the food.
There's not a whole lot of choice for eats at Fullerton and Pulaski. But that's where I had to meet my people today, so we wandered in.
The tables and food counter are covered in orange formica. Don't let that scare you. The place is spic 'n' span. You could eat off the floors.
The wall menu is basic. It lists, for example, junior and senior size burritos, but it doesn't tell you what's in them. Why? You're supposed to know, or ask. Very basic. Very authentic. There are basic categories, like "breakfast," "lunch" and "dinner."
Now, here's the cool part: the owner was perceptive enough to realize we were there for a while, to talk. We weren't going to be in and out. We ordered, and I tried to pay him. Â "No, no," he says to me. "You folks relax. I'll bring your food when it's ready. And if you like it, maybe you'll order some more."
The portions were too large to order more. But I'll say this: three of us ate for a handful under $20 bucks and it was damn good.
