Nice place to indulge in some Mexican food. The place itself seems to have had a recent make-over from a few years back. It's not a complete overhaul, just a few additions of reproduced artwork and their menu posted over their walls which is a nice upgrade from their barren picnic checkered pattern table cloths they had back then. Another nice little treat, as a result of their change, is the addition of an appetizer. Along with your expected chips and salsa, they now serve you Frijoles Rancheros right before your dish comes out.
As you sit, you are welcomed by a very friendly lady who brings you your menu and chips with salsa before asking you what you would like to drink. The chips are nicely sliced and appropriately seasoned with salt, which makes me think they may be store-bought. Their taste and texture allows me to overlook this speculation. On the table, a small bowl of green avocado based salsa, a small bowl of slices of jalapenos and carrots, and the small bowl with red salsa which goes very well with the aforementioned chips. It seems to have a hint of ketchup, but with the right amount of flavor and spiciness, it is a great match out of the three bowls for the chips that lay before you.
The horchata is delicious and appears to be natural and not made from store bough instant powder as other restaurants tend to serve. As you indulge in your beverage and chips, a steaming hot bowl of frijoles rancheros is brought for you to enjoy. Although they are not the best they can potentially be when it comes to their seasoning, the frijoles are a nice touch that separates this place from other local restaurants.
The taco dinner plate, although it may seem a generic plate, is a great menu item to choose as it allows you to sample up to three of their meats. Their carne asada is diced a bit too small, but its taste makes up for it as it doesn't require salt or seasoning when eaten on its own. The carne pastor is not as great as in other places, but considering only a few places are known for their carne pastor, they do an adequate job.
It may be busy, but the lady that served you your food comes back and checks up on you a few times during your meal, ensuring you enjoy your food.
I live within walking distance and this is our go-to spot for chicken tacos. Actually, that's all I've ever had here. They are seriously fantastic... lettuce, tomato, onion, Â a little cilantro and a double layer of thin, delicious corn tortillas. The price is right and my belly is full of deliciousness. I've always carried out so I can't comment on the dine in experience but I really do love those freakin chicken tacos.
Review Source:Decent mexican food for cheap. When ordering in, they bring you a load of salsas, pickled carrots and chips. The service is never grand, in fact, I've had to chase down the waitress for water when we've been the only table in the joint but overall, they are friendly. Bonus points for having Mexican Coke.
Review Source:A decent taqueria option in the neighborhood, and convenient if you're on your way to the nearby market or bank. I stuck to a simple order of carne asada tacos and a lengua taco. Tacos are the best way to gauge if a place is worth going back to. The carne asada tacos hit the spot. Just chopped steak, onion, and cilantro with green salsa on the side. My only complaint was that the steak was chopped too fine. The lengua tacos, on the other hand, were disappointing. They had the boiled and diced version. I prefer braised lengua, soft and shredded. Looks like I have to look elsewhere for that type of lengua. But they do have plenty more on the menu (check out their dinner specials), so it's definitely worth trying if you're in the area and need cheap eats.
Review Source:Above average cheap taco place. Prices are low, the waitresses are nice, and it's reasonably kid-friendly. The coffee is definitely acceptable. The chicken items sometimes include more fat than I'd like, but whatever, I guess that's authentic, and I know I'm picky. The beans and rice are more than decent, and the service is quick-ish. Pretty much what you might expect looking at the place, plus a retro video-game. UPDATE: in addition the the video game, they now have a juke box with quite decent Mexican tunes, fairy lights make the place even a little more cozy, the staff is still as friendly and competent as ever: a solid choice for a decent comfort-food meal at a very affordable price. (and NO tricky pricing of ala-carte items, or any other kind of shenanigans.) Old-school Chicago taco joint style becomes more appealing to me as I age, I guess. The menu covers all the important bases, and the prices remain AFFORDABLE in these difficult times. Not glamorous, but quite comfortable, homey, and always reliable.
Review Source:This little Mexican restaurant has tasty and filling enchilada dinners with your choice of fillings and toppings. You can have fillings like chorizo and beef tongue. Your usual assortment of tacos, burritos and tortas can be ordered here. I usually go for the enchiladas suiza, but last time I tried the tacos al pastor, which were delicious. The refreshing horchata is not bad here.
