Amber KJuly 14, 2013This is more than a burrito place. Enjoy fresh chips and salsa and strong margaritas on the patio; order the black bean salad side with anything (best-flavored beans I've had in my life).
ISC ChicagoOctober 18, 2023Huachinango a la Veracruzana (Red snapper Veracruz-style made with rich tomato sauce that includes red peppers and olives)
nemo sergesAugust 26, 2016The piña colada went awf!! And the pico de gallo is really good too. I always go for the burrito, I highly recommend it.- Caitlin WhiteAugust 9, 2014Great flautas here. Both the chicken and steak were cooked perfectly. Sit in the back patio if you can and grab a pitcher of margs :)
Time Out ChicagoJune 19, 2013This Mexican mainstay has an amazing back patio; potent and fruity margaritas; sweet-as-pie servers; and decent dishes for a nice price. http://tmout.us/maA24 Read more
Kelly V.March 7, 2012Steak tacos are simply perfect. Well prepared, delicious and filling- ditch the sour cream and cheese and stick with cilantro, onion and lime. You won't be disappointed.
MarionAugust 3, 2014Excellent service - even for the party of 1 that we saw come in at 5 min till close. Good, simple Mexican food. Great house margarita.- Kristin KronbergMay 5, 2013Get the Huachinango (red snapper) instead of regular fish tacos, whole fish = much better! But get it with garlic sauce instead of a la Veracruzana ~ bueníssimo!
Bob DeGraffMarch 8, 2016Nice upstairs bar and a dining area that was good for families. The caldo de res was good also.
Love this place. Sooooo good. Been here many times. Except the last time I was there I had one bitchy waitress who was completely rude & slammed drinks & plates down, stared and talked and was pushy.
Genilda Ovalle-SolisApril 5, 2013Have the fricasse de pollo like my mom makes and the portion is large be ready to take leftovers and the piña colada is yummy have desert is yummy too
Leland BrewsterJune 4, 2015Delicious margaritas and the skirt steak quesadillas were the best I've had in Chicago.
Matt LatourelleFebruary 10, 2015Margaritas, tacos, enchiladas, nachos...it's all great. Good atmosphere upstairs!
- Austin LoudenJuly 17, 2013If you're really hungry, the get the quesadilla dinner. It's a lot of food.
Kelli ShivesMay 12, 2012No matter what time it is, get yourself a pineapple jalepeño margarita. 1st class!
Order a large Horchata (rice water) it's so sweet and a great way to cool down while sitting in the patio.

"Great job rehabbing. Nice bar. Seats were squeaky and echoed throughout the theater, but they were comfy. Staff was great"

"Eggs come with house-made maple-glazed Spam, crispy potatoes and an ice-cold PBR. Pork belly Benedict, sunny-side duck hash and fried chicken and waffles are among the alternatives."
