Be prepared to wait for your order. the weekend was packed with people and the search for a place to sit takes a while being that they have limited seating. Once you get you dish everything is delicious and crunchy, you must get the Chicarons,sooo good.

We saw this place featured in Instagram, and decided to stop by. Not an area we would have driven through otherwise. Phone ordering was a bit ineffective. It was hasty and they got our order wrong even though we had them repeat our order. They were out of barbacoa and guacamole at 7PM on a Saturday. I’ve never experienced a Mexican restaurant out of guac before. On the other hand, the food was very good. I think it is fair to say they have the fullest the most filled tacos I’ve eaten around Chicago. Chicken melts in your mouth. Carne was very good. The green stew was not bad. I did whiteness the hand making of the corn tortillas. It was very quick service and very popular place among Hispanics. That tells me they are doing something right.

There might not be better carnitas made anywhere in the world. Amazing. Great people. Hand made tortillas on site (you can watch them make them in real time) and all around great food.

First time here, the ordering process was quick, and also friendly. The order was made quick , as there was a line when I arrived, but it seems people who ordered got their orders quick.

The King of Carnitas! Two locations, old and new, share the parking lot. They are both buzzing with people! The carnitas tacos and nachos we got were incredible! It helps if you know a little Spanish. Either way, you won’t leave hungry. Por libra is by the pound. Also, check out the giant chicharrones at the original building. Amazing!

I tried the Asada tacos as well as the Pastor tacos, both were extremely good, but the pastor tacos were better I think. The Orchata is the best I’ve ever had! Prices are decent, service was good.

How lucky am I that I can walk to one of the best places for traditional Mexican food in the Chicago area? Homemade tortillas, killer carnitas, perfect pozole, very clean and friendly and they call me by my name now LOL…love supporting local and this is as local as it gets. Bravo Don Alfredo and Dona Chela and staff!

First time here, seating was confusing because there is seating arrangement and there isn’t one. Tortillas, tho they’re hand made they are a bit pricey. Carnitas are pretty good but it’s way more expensive compared to other places. We took them to go because of the seating situation, no plates, no utensils, no napkins were included.
