The carne en su jugo is the best in Chicago. Service was service and there is ambiance but none of that matters because all you want is the beef soup. While eating this soup you will forget your troubles. It's transcendental.
Came here because the place we originally planned to go to had a long wait and we re hungry. We were not disappointed though! We both ordered the Tampaquinta....Tamponada....Tamborine...maaan, i dont even know how to say it but IT WAS DELICIOUS! Ramon (pronounced Rrrrrramon), was our waiter/server and he was excellent. Hospitable and helpful. He recommended the Tampiqueña (yes, I do really know what it is!), among other things and it was cooked well, and was filling. I cleaned the plate. The avocado sauce and the hot sauce was good too. The tamarind juice could use some work, but I guess that's just being nitpicky. It was a substitute because the horchata was not prepared yet, no big deal though. All around it was good food, good chef, good server, and decent atmosphere. I recommend and I would return.
So me an Pavel an his cousin Jimmy goes to dis place for burritos. Awesomes place, best chorizo buritos in likes forevers there. Got huge gas from da beens but the chips were good an fresh. da cold beers for everyones at this joint. Great stuff an go bears.
Is actually really good food but takes to mush time but it's worth it I recommend the tortas special it taste good asf
This is great spot for those at West Lake Hospital looking for a quick bite. I ordered the carne asada tacos and they did not disappoint! A lot of flavor in comparison to the neighboring Mexican restaurants. I also ordered the Horchata, it was a little sweet for my taste but I still enjoyed it. We will be going back!
A great experience overall , would gladly go back . The burritos were good and also had a lot of fun . Way better then Suburrito .
