I honestly wasn’t impressed overall. The tacos were too expensive for their size and quality (had like 3 shrimp in my taco and the pork was dry in the other). The marg flights took forever to come out, and they tasted more like juice. Our waitress was friendly and the decor was cute, but that’s about it. I won’t be returning.

Food was okay. I had two shrimp tacos and they were overly priced. The taco shells were too small and not plentiful shrimp. The only good thing about the tacos was the avocado cream sauce but they were very stingy with the sauce.

Great Mexican food! I ordered the torta and it was HUGE. Definitely a good value for your money. The margaritas were delicious – I ordered a frozen house margarita and my friends ordered the tamarindo margaritas which were both delicious. The chips were my favorite as they were warm, crispy (but not tough) and perfectly salted. We sat outside on their cute outdoor patio tables and it was very nice! The menu is extensive and it was hard to decide on one food item. I’ll definitely be back for a Thursday margarita flight and for brunch to try more of their menu.

Unfortunately this place has good drinks but the food is cold and the service is super duper slow. It took about 60 minutes from the time we sat down (party of 4) to get our first drink going. I won’t be returning….I was there on a Friday so I understand services can get busy but I had reservations. On top of that, I was told I have 90 minutes to dine in and then we had to give up our table. Mind you our drinks took an entire hour. Either way we stayed until close. Our reservations were for 7:45pm. They close at 10pm

Nice place to visit. Sits on a secluded street with other places discreetly tucked away. Visit with some friends…Nice vibes. Customer service good. Will make you feel at home. Not too crowded. Is good for the occasional outings with friends to talk and catch up on old memories…

Don’t sleep on this place! The sangria (an entire pitcher) and the chicken enchiladas in this picture were $10 each – unbelievable! They have incredible specials every day of the week except Saturday. Ridiculously good prices even for River North! We also got the chips and dip trio. Fresh guac, Pico de Gallo, and queso. The ambiance is adorable – they have indoor dining as well as an outdoor patio with lights and cute little colored flags. The service was great and friendly and the food was delicious. This dinner was our first time but they also have an impressive brunch menu. The restaurant is on kind of a quiet street so it’s very relaxed. The place is definitely underrated, I think just because it’s not in a heavy restaurant area like Fulton Market District. We will definitely be coming back!
