  I cannot tell you how excited I am that they opened a new location while the #1 is being remodeled! Oh how I have missed those tacos, that guacamole... tears have been shed on the failed quest to find a replacement.
  
  I need search no more!  I stuffed my face with those same tacos today, in all of their glory at the newly opened #2. If I could give them 100 stars I would. Nicest, friendliest, coolest owners ever! Excellent food. My favorite!

  They are back. Albeit a different location and a whole new shop... but back!
  
  Magnificent flavors still rise to the occasion and out-perform expectations.
  
  I believe a lot of folks pretty much just see tacos as tacos, with some  good and some less than good.
  
  Like such a seemingly simple or commonplace food can't rise to the occasion of actually having real craft and flavor applied to it, without bringing in some over-hyped chef-speak that tries to elevate something that is not gourmet, into the gourmet epicurian realm with all sorts of pretentious obscure food-talk and terms.
  
  Screw all that- you don't need it - this place delivers truly amazing and beautiful flavors to their very well-crafted foods.
  
  The marinaded meats are testaments that prove these people care about what they are doing.
  
  Pastor- Probably the best you can get in Chicago and further!
  Marinated Steak - from another planet is the only explanation I can give.
  
  These folks make their foods from fresh ingredients, to-order, in real-time.
  
  Although I was not able to try the guacamole this time (the opening day of this new shop) - I can say that if they didn't change the way they make it, it is truly fantastic, and can't be any fresher, as it is made to order, and not in a bin waiting to get scooped out.
  
  Although this location is no longer in my neighborhood and technically not convenient, I will most certainly make the trip to procure my taco habits from here- You can't put a price on better value.
  
  This will be updated-
  
  Good luck
