I have ordered there a couple of times and I thought maybe this time it would be diffrent but nope , I ordered my lunch abut 11:05 am they said 25-30 min. I show up at 11:40 am and it still was't ready . The service is horrible  the prices are high for this area, and they don't have your food ready on time . I don't think I will be ordering from here any more lesson learned .
Review Source:I often times find myself saying to my friends.. If you really want good Mexican food.....Go where the Mexicans go! Â
I am Mexican (my BF is not) thus, I can be critical of "Mexican" food in other areas outside of places like Little village, Pilsen and the likes.
Â
Unfortunately, these areas are  not as attractive as places in the areas where the City spends the money to maintain the pretty neighborhoods.  Don't let the neighborhood aesthetics fool ya or scare ya away. You will get good, authentic Mexican food in these areas.
I had the opportunity to dine here on Cinco de Mayo  2011of all days.  After using Yelp to review many of the restaurants, I felt this fit the bill.
I was looking for place that served alcohol and had everything from tacos, tamales, seafood, red meat, beans and rice and some tasty alcoholic beverages.
Parking was on street and easy to find.
The decor is old school, Mexico, I thought it was fun and very comfortable.
We were seated right away and the chips and two types of salsa came right away and then we studied the menu while the basket of chips dwindled.
I ordered the combo entree, that consisted of a taco (lengua), tostada (beef) and enchilada (cheese). You get to pick what you want in each. It includes rice, beans and a small salad on the plate. Â The BF ordered the Carne Asada with fries and rice. Â He ordered up 2 Margaritas of which he thought were very tasty.
As we waited for our food to come, we were pleasantly surprised to get a small bowl of chicken soup. We didn't complain and ate it right up.
The food came out shortly after.
Everything was good and tasty. The salsa's were good so we ordered more and another basket full of chips. Man, we were stuffed when we left.
The tab was very reasonable.
We briefly talked to one of the owners before we left when we went to pay our bill at the back. Very nice guy.
Drove back to the South Loop and the BF went into a food coma 20 min. later. Now that's good eating!
We will be back and thanks for the experience.
Best mexican I've had in the USA. Â I went with my fiance (mexican who moved here a few years ago) for the World Cup game (yes, this is a late review), and we loved it! Â It's the first place in USA I've been to where the enchiladas were actually like those in MX! Â We were so excited that we ordered something of everything and couldn't finish it. Â Since it was World Cup season then (yes, I know this is late!), the restaurant was full of Mexicans in their colors cheering on tehir team, and then leaving in heartbreak (it was the game where they got eliminated by Argentina). Â Overall - amazingly delicious and authentic! Â After coming here, I realized how much i missed the food!
Review Source:negative stars. this place was horrible yesterday 4/3/201. i ordered oysters they came 20 minutes late and they were rancid. i didn't wait any longer for my menudo or barbacoa. this place was a disgrace. how can you serve bad oysters to your clients. go to hell la justicia, i went to another restaurant down the street that was way quicker and served fresh food.
Review Source:The food was perfectly fine--nice and spicy, and the leftovers are going to last me for days--but I'm primarily reviewing the service, organization, and attitude.  I stopped in here, starving and carrying a large canvas bag full of junk-store finds, for the first time yesterday evening, just after the Village Thrift at 26th and Pulaski chased me and  its other customers out and closed for the day.  I had completely forgotten about the Superbowl, which had just started, and I walked into a Superbowl party that was also just starting--almost a full house, TVs blasting everywhere, waitresses in Bears teeshirts.  I think I was  the only Anglo in the place as well as the only idiot to have spaced out about the ballgame.  The waitress quickly found me a cozy window table away from the main noise, and was amazingly attentive (though not hovering), considering that I was not really part of the action and was reading a book, and that she had lots of tables full of people who had been there before me and who were there for a party.  Really, I was treated as if strangers were angels in disguise, or maybe like I had strayed into some ancient Greek landscape where hospitality was a sacred trust.  I will definitely be back.  AND there's a bus stop right in front of the place.  What more do you want?
Review Source:This place had the best authentic mexican food I've ever tasted and i've been to so many other Mexican  restaurants it had the best homemade horchata I've ever tasted The soup and chips they give u are good I really liked the appetizer my girlfriend picked out which was cheese Jalisco style Her meal made my mouth water which was the fajitas Which I just had to try for myself it was a sizzling plate of shrimp steak chorizo chicken and bacon mixed in with vegies I almost ate her meal for her So I had to let her have a  taste of my big fat juicy deep fried salmon by the way a mojo de ajo Everything was delcious we had no leftovers it was like giving our taste buds sex It was simply the best! BEWARE of the red salsa it is spicy hot
Review Source:This place seems to get props from a lot of Gringos, but to this Gringo I have to say I was not that impressed. Â Whether it was the fact they did not have Horchatas or Jaimaicas, or the tortillas they served were cheap grocery store kind, they just didn't seem to distinguish themselves from the dozens of other taquerias in the area. Â Granted, their alcohol selection was good, with many different kinds of margaritas and plenty of beer available. Â That's worth a star right there.
I had Camarones a la Mexicana - a shrimp dish with sauteed onions, peppers, and chiles.  It was nice and packed a fair amount of heat (hence the red chili next to the dish in the menu).  The chips and salsas served when I sat down were okay.  There was one salsa that looked really interesting  but lacked real flavor to it.  I did not have frijoles, which seems to be what people rave about here.  Service was good.  But the overall experience was sort of bland.
It was New Years' Day, my sidekick in burritoing Danger Mike + I were sad to see that our usual spot (Lindo Michoacan) was closed as we pulled up towards Lawrence + Kedzie. Starving + in need of the gut-filling goodness of a burrito, we decided to go straight to the source: 26th St. Surely something would be open on the first day of the new year, in Little Village.
I prefer Little Village come summertime ...The street vendors are out, the sidewalks full + music streaming from various storefronts. Somehow amongst last summer's festivities, we had overlooked La Justicia on our burrito hunts. It took the cold + low-blood sugar to finally happen upon this restaurant (which has a large mural painted on it's side).
Meter parking off of S. Springfield, we walked in + were quickly given a choice where to sit. The space is of decent size, not a hole in the wall but cozy with colorful decorations, a large neon-lit digital jukebox, brick walls + vintage "WANTED" posters of Pancho Villa. There were also two standard sized television sets mounted in the corners tuned to Telemundo.
We sat at our clean/comfortable booth table as our complimentary chips(store bought but warmed w/ a good crunch + little salt) + salsa arrived (three tins: green, red + pickled w/ whole cloves of garlic: delicious). I ordered my usual: burrito vegetariano, no crema/no queso w/ avocado, large horchata. Danger ordered the carne asada (steak burrito) w/ everything + a carrot/orange juice blend.
Ok, so I never took Spanish I. I can order my burrito, show proper courtesies + even ask you if Maria is home but beyond that it's a game of guess + check. While we waited for our food + Danger browsed the latest Lawndale newspaper, I took to watching Telemundo, making sure to laugh when the waitresses did + show concern when I saw reports of fire or flooding. This seemed to go over well. I was totally in.
Our food arrived w/out much wait + I started in on my first meal of 09. I'm spoiled at Lindo Michoacan w/ all the veggies packed into their burrito so I had high hopes for La Justicia. Standard veg. burrito fare: beans, rice (heavy), shredded lettuce (bring dental floss), tomato, onion (raw), a mushy slice of avocado with a few leaves of cilantro. Everything was fresh + the salsa choices added a kick. I took to chopping up a few garlic cloves + adding them into my burrito.
Danger finished his burrito in record time + seemed quite happy with it. He decided that La Justicia would be our plan B for when plan A is closed. I agreed mostly due to my carb coma + trying to keep up with my Telemundo watching/laughing. Note: Our waitress was nice + regularly checked in to see if we needed anything.
Overall, we left satisfied (and very full). I wasn't wowed but I wasn't disappointed in the least. Both meals + beverages came in under $20. We ordered two Mexican cinnamon coffees (they do offer regular coffee too) to go (they were elaborately packed w/ cream + sugar ...We both take black but it was a nice gesture).
Not a bad way to start a new year.
Note: La Justicia is not 24 hrs. but open late weeknights + 3AM Friday. They do offer breakfast/lunch/dinner + delivery/pick-up.
