My husband and kids have been coming here for over 1 year. It’s always consistently delicious and clean. Drinks are delicious! I wish the restaurant was a little more updated, I would have events or even larger groups come with.

The food could not have been fresher, seriously do they have a garden outback that they went straight to table from. Wow the ceviche you could not even tell there was shrimp in it it was so fresh . The chicken from the enchilada melted in your mouth. It seriously brought me back to Mexico – authentic Mexico❤️❤️❤️ True gem.

Food is great here however the only “gripe” that I have would be the rice. I ordered fish tacos and the rice is dry. Otherwise, flavors are really good, I hope they can improve the rice.

Wow!!! Mom’s Old Recipe aka the mole recipe is incredible! I had it with the enchilada trio! It was out of this world! So good! I was so happy with my meal! Came with a bunch of friends for a dinner and night out. We had a great dinner! We did the fried queso, ceviche, guacamole, and shrimp cocktail appetizer. Everyone loved it. The enchilada trio were some of the best enchiladas I have ever had! It was super tasty!

I have been coming here for years. I always take my friends and family here when we go out. I was the second person or so to order grubhub from them when they started doing delivery. I have tried most of the menu and I keep coming back for the enchiladas. They are awesome! Overall, the staff is friendly and attentive, they give good and fast service and if they make a mistake (which they usually dont) they quickly remedy it. Check them out, you will not be disappointed.

This is definitely one of those places you should give a shot. Chose the place on the recommendation of a friend and was not disappointed. Everyone at my table thoroughly enjoyed what they ordered. Salsa was the bomb, service was not stellar, but doable. Prices were good. We went on an off night, but looking forward to returning when the place is busy, the music is playing, and the vibe is electric.

One of the best places to eat in Jefferson Park. Tried a number of things on the menu and they all were good. I love the shrimp tacos and the enchiladas the most. Prices are reasonable and the portions are hearty. The staff is always great and attentive.
