Finally a great taco spot outside of Chicago! If you are missing those authentic Chicago style tacos, then I would strongly recommend this location. The prices, quality of meat, amount served, and flavor were great! The people were friendly and gave exactly what I ordered. Even the green sauce was the perfect amount of spicy. I can’t wait to taste the other items on the menu!

I used to love going to this place. Always got friendly service, even if it was slow/busy during the lunch rush. It was always me and co-workers or me and my kids. Today, my heart was broken. We came in with my husband and told we could seat ourselves (which I am used to). We were served chips and salsa and given menus. As we waited for our server, another party came and sat down. They immediately got their order taken. No bigge, but after about another 5 mins, the only server passed us up several times and deemed it priority to bus another table instead of coming to us. I hate making things about race, BUT, I have to be honest. This is the only time this has happened to me here and the only difference is that my husband was with me. My husband happens to be black and from when we entered, I could see the stares. So sad how my own culture can be so racist. We are all people! Human beings. Needless to say they lost a customer that always made sure to tip extremely well.

Great food and wonderful service. The only down part of this location was that when I asked for coffee they stated they have none. The food was delicious and full of flavor. I definitely recommend for lunch but not a breakfast spot due to the no coffee. I will be returning.

THIS IS A HIDDEN JEM! I just moved to Romeoville from Chicago where I grew up. Needless to say I’ve ate all the best tacos in the city, but hold on, this place right here has hands down THE BEST TACOS DE ASADA Y CABEZA. I’ve also gone to Mexico MANY times, and these are straight up Mexico flavor, nothing less. Cannot praise these tacos enough!

The best REAL Mexican food. This sets the bar for the entire SW suburbs for good Mexican food. The way it is supposed to be. They cook from scratch. Food is full of flavor. I’ll be back next week.
