My friend & I come here often. The fact that we keep coming back let’s you know the food is delicious! Everything I order I’ve had no issues with. They even give you chips & salsa for takeout! Not every place does that! The staff is ALWAYS friendly & restaurant is clean.

Stopped on our way out of Chicago. Food was amazing! Staff were awesome, our waitress, maybe Cindy? She was on our beverages before we had to ask. I asked for recommendations, she named a few and I asked her to pick her favorite. I am glad she did she picked the Bistek Chaparral. Best Mexican meal I have had hands down. There was an awesome live band too. Thanks for a great dining experience!

We purchased over 6 orders, the bill was over $100. Normally when you go in you get a basket of chips and salsa along with it. We go a handful of chips in the bag with 2 salsas in little condiment containers.. not even a quarter of a little brown lunch bag full of chips that several of us us to scoop our rice and beans with.. over $100 and a small handful of chips.. when I called in I asked if that comes with a bag of chips, she no about a half of bag. I said for 6 orders? She said that is all we give..what? Picked up our large order, NO IT WASN’T EVEN A HALF OF A BAG… there wasn’t enough for everyone. We will not order from you anymore.. we will go elsewhere..all of us…and I personally will never come back on my own with my daughter.. you can keep your chips and your food and your runny beans..and we will all be keeping our money..bye bye..

In addition to coming here for lunch once a week, we also have our staff parties here. The employees are very friendly, it is family owned and operated, and the food is delicious. Service is quick and food is high quality.

I’ve come here many times before but the last 2 times have not been the greatest. The service is always excellent but the food in the other hand was nothing like I’m use to. Our food came out cold, the rice was under cooked & hard. Slightly disappointed
