This location is a small kitchen inside a Little Joe’s bar (a neighborhood institution). We are proud to serve wonderful and flavorful Mexican fare with some bar-food variations. The food we serve is guaranteed to be fresh and one of a kind, yet approachable to everyone.

I’ve tried many of the local Mexican spots that are highly rated and this lowkey place beats them all. Better burrito, tacos, churros, sauces, it wins at it all. It’s a tad more expensive than most places, but you’ll get more meat on your dishes. My most recent order I got the Quesabirria tacos and I was astonished by how much meat was in them. Felt like I ordered a steak!

It was nice, clean, and friendly. The tacos we had they were delicious. I was pleasantly surprised, we use to leave in this neighborhood, it was all Italian food, bakery, and delicious Italian ice, so, it was different to see a bar serving tacos, good food.

Found them on DoorDash and the food was amazing! Best quesabirria in Chicago. The tacos were large and reheated well the next day. Can’t wait to try the other menu items. This is my new favorite place!

Placed and order online and wanted to call the store to ask a question about my order and some hung up the phone on my 3 times in a row and when I continue to call no one picked up. First time ordering from this place and never again at this point I don’t even want the food anymore just because the customer service is so trash I don’t trust the food. How can nobody be available to answer the phone and why continue to hang up on consumers. Currently canceling my order.

I am not gonna see this business be trashed out here because their “Food is smelly”. I’ve tried this food many times and It has never been smelly. This is cultural food that people eat on a regular basis. Time and time again people have used “smelly” to refer to cultural food with seasoning. Sorry if you just like salt and pepper on your food but not me. The seasoning is the defining factors of this establishment. If your little delicate pallets cant handle alittle bit of spice then please enjoy tacos else where. The food is not smelly. Thank you educate yourself and make yourself aware that “smelly” is a word used by people to put people of color’s food down! The food is amazing and I have gone to their food truck and this establishment as well and hands down the best mexican food.
