  Came here with the family & they have a pretty decent shrimp cocktail; 3rd best (my mom's is still #1).  Everyone liked their orders & the staff was nice.  We will definitely go back

  It has been a couple of years the last time I ate here. Only reason why I went was due to lunch after a funeral. Was not impressed with the rice or the beans. Chicken Fajitas were ok, yet the guisado was good.  Tortillas were cooked in the microwave or at least they seemed like they were. I don't think I would go back.

  I'm a HUGE fan of this place.  They have the best and hottest chilaquiles in all of Chicago.  I have been a regular here for years but it wasn't until recently that I started checking in and finally today I review it.
  
  The service is always perfect, the waitresses are very attentive and friendly.  There is always plenty of seating available regardless of what time you go.  Price in the single dollar sign range ($).  
  
  I have tried their guaraches, tacos, carne a la tampiquena, all have been great.  
  
  Go ahead and check it out for yourself, you can't go wrong with anything you order.

  Agree 100% with Elizabeth they will mess up your carry out order 85% of the time.
  
  I have mixed reviews about the food. They seem to make decent good fast food. Tacos, burritos, tortas and sopes. Everything else is crappy and not well served.
  
  I have tried breakfast and I ended up barfing my chilakiles. I tried Menudo/Pozole both were lacking effort.
  
  I have always said that when a restaurant has a big menu they are not good at making anything. This menu is ridiculous I was surprised I didn't find pizza and sushi on this menu.
  
  We have ordered other dishes and they lack major effort. I ordered a caldo de mariscos and it was so poorly made a seasoned and the seafood was lacking freshness.
  
  I was so mad but I keep ordering for delivery. Yes they deliver and their fats food is not great but it's good. When you want something delivered the list is short.
  
  Pizza
  Chinese
  Sushi (If your lucky)
  
  Being able to add decent Mexican food is a great advantage.
  
  I would not waste my time eating in this place. If you are out there is at least 50 other places in the area making way better food.
  
  If your drunk, tired, lazy or high.... This place can be god sent when the food gets delivered to your doorsteps.

  I've been here many times (because of the close proximity to work I might add) and have come to one conclusion.  They do not strive for customer satisfaction if you are picking up your food.  I lost count as to how many times the orders were wrong, but I can't say that the food was all out terrible because it isn't.  It is desent and for lunch specials you could get your money's worth depending on what you order.  But I would overall only recommend this place if you get smart and check your order over before you leave the place.  They have yet to correct their mistakes, but again I end up back there because I feel it ends up being healthier than eating a hamburger everyday.  The people aren't unfriendly either they just don't really pay attention I guess.  It is worth it to try it once and see for yourself though.  You might get lucky, and it's never busy so you never have to wait to get your food.
