  A little tiny hole in the wall but the steak burrito was top notch.  The staff was friendly.  Overall I'm very happy with this place.

  We also saw the restaurant on the "Chicago's Best" tv show.  The people there were real sweethearts and the food was fresh (guac made to order, the pineapple al pastor is fun),  if pretty bland and not a special bargain.  if you're in the area with a taste for tacos, it's ok, but sorry, I don't think we will be traveling all the way across the city again for this very standard fare.

  Went with my friend who saw a Chicago tv show about this place having the best al pastor taco.  Both were disappointed but as unexpected.  The food was mediocre.  Tacos ($2 ea) didn't have enough filling and flavor bland (and I'm not even into spicy!).  I've also had better horchata elsewhere.  Our taco dinner (3 tacos for $9.95) was also missing the salad (so it's really better to get items a la carte).  I saw them heat up our side of rice in their microwave.  We didn't see the big skewer of meat spinning at the grill.   This place is small with maybe 5 small tables in all with very cute tabletops and wall decor.  Definitely would not go out of my way for this.  So far, there hasn't been an al pastor taco that is better than Atotonilco #2.

  This is one of Chicago's best kept secrets.  The most amazing mexican food in the city!  I've eaten here close to 50 times and have never left disappointed.  My personal favorites are the homemade chips which are cooked when you order them and the home made guacamole.  The picodilla tacos are SO tasty!!  There fresh green salsa is hands down the best in the city but it is spicy!!
  The service is fast, friendly and the prices are incredibly low.  The only con is they don't serve alcohol.  The seating is a bit cozy but they have there own parking lot which is a huge plus!!  Owners really care about there business and put a lot of love into everything they do.  Try it!!  I promise you, you will not be let down.

  The ultimate local taco spot.  Everything, everything is amazing.  Their asada is incredible, pastor has flavor for days, but the rib eye, oh man.  Huge burritos, cheese dripping quesadillas, and tortilla chips fried up right before your eyes.  My favorite Mexican place in the city.  Limited hours on Sundays.  Cash only.

  Simple and amazing mexican food. Rib eye tacos with grilled onion are something I crave.
  Egg and chorizo tacos are magical. Not greasy at all, and my man friend thinks the red sauce is the best int he city.
  I tried my brother's chicken milanesa torta last night and it was perfection. Everyone who works there is really cool and the place is just solid.
  
  Open until 10pm most nights as far as I know.
