Some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in Chicago! Incredible restaurant and amazing food! Can’t recommend this place enough, it’s owned by a family who are always there helping run daily operations. I’ve been over 5 times and I enjoy every single entree they serve. I always try something new every time I go and it’s so good! It is pretty small inside and not the most conducive for large groups, but they may be able to put two tables together to accommodate a group up to 6 people, if they’re not super busy. It’s also BYOB! They offer dine-in or takeout. Definitely check them out when in the area or in the mood for delicious Mexican food!
