Fantastic! Best Taco spot in Chicago and maybe even the country! So authentic and so tasty. 3-4 tacos are perfect per person. Very generous with the filling. Service was quick and our waiter was friendly

Delicious tacos in a colorful atmosphere. Ordered chicken, steak, and calabacita tacos and all were hot, flavorful, and generously portioned. Chips and guac were great too - could tell was homemade. Loved my cucumber pepino drink which was super refreshing. Items were priced reasonably and service was both efficient and welcoming. Highly recommend this place.

I really enjoyed their fish tacos and cold brew. The cold brew was just the right temperature but not too thin. It had a rather thick flavor. The service was very kind too.

Some of the best tacos I’ve had in Chicago. Quesabirria and ribeye were spectacular. Great consume served alongside. They sold the fish taco as one of the best. It was fine but of the three it was the least good. Will be back!

Excellent service and even better food! Visiting from out of state, but worth the trip for the food and atmosphere. Decor was fun and bathrooms were super cool and clean.

This was an amazing refreshing experience. Food was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I had the fish tacos meal with black beans and rice. And my husband had the Quesabirria Taco that were full of meat and flavor. I also had a Pineapple Margarita. All n all the food was 10/10 customer service 10/10 total for our meals and drink around $50 would definitely recommend and eat again

Wow, I haven't had Mexican food this good since i went to Mexico City! I ordered an al pastor, quesabirria, and carne asada taco and ate them so fast I didn't even think to take a picture. Every single one was absolutely perfect. Then, because I couldn't help myself, I ordered a chicken tinga and arrachera taco. Everything was 10/10 and the sweet waitress was working so hard by herself and was very attentive. Please come support this restaurant!
