Would love to come back- we sat inside because it was kind of hot, but I'd love to sit outside next time!

So, I stopped in during the week, just after lunch time and found this little hole-in-the wall of a restaurant conveniently nestled in a shopping center next to the local Walmart. Even though I walked in and the restaurant was completely empty, the pure vibrancy of the decor and the cheerfulness of the staff encouraged me to stay. Not to mention that the aroma making its way out from the kitchen was absolutely mouth-watering. I took a seat at the bar while I perused the menu and was delighted in the simplicity of it. You know the food is about to be fire when the menu is simple and a restaurant focuses on what it does well. In addition to the excellent service, the food was absolutely phenomenal. I started off with some chips and salsa.... which was delightfully flavorful and perfectly crisp. Then, I had a bowl of the tortilla soup. Each spoonful was like deja vu. Each bite made me feel like I was in my grandmother's kitchen as a little girl all over again. The broth was perfectly seasoned and each bite came with a chunk of chicken and an assortment of veggies... truly perfecto! Once I was done with the appetizers, I made my decision to try two tacos from the menu. The first was a salmon taco--and it didn't TASTE FISHY. It was grilled to perfection and then paired with an unexpected yet delicious topping of crispy potato strings and chipotle aioli. I ate every bite of this. It was the perfect combination of crunch and flavor, I just couldn't get enough. Then I also ordered the carne asada a cabron taco. Simple, yet dynamically flavorful. I was so full at this point but took this one home to eat at a later time. Still as amazing as the day I ordered it i'm sure. While I neglected to have any desserts or margaritas here, I was assured that they are just as remarkable as anything else. I had a wonderful meal, excellent service and I greatly look forward to going back if i'm ever in the area again for work. 10/10 Highly recommend!!

Nothing really stood out about the items we ordered, and maybe it was just what we ordered. The prices were a little on the higher side. We'll need to come back and order a seafood dish.

They're pretty small for the prize, but I didn't realize they came topped with a spoonful of guacamole, which was honestly really good.

(Just make sure you get the regular nachos, not the nachos grandes unless you prefer liquid cheese/queso over melted cheese!)They have really great prices and have specials all the time. The servers and staff were amazing, friendly, and attentive. They also have table side guac (shout out to our favorite Jorge) We came the next day because we loved it so much and live so close, we were shocked we had never been here before! Tonight, the food was still good, the service was still excellent, and the drinks were perfect. I would say 4/5 stars because the ribeye steak we got for nachos tonight was chewy and dry. And we had queso which tasted like melted American cheese. Aside from those things, we will still be back. The salsa is one of the best we have ever had, the chips are fresh, the drinks are amazing, the staff is kind and attentive, and the restaurant itself has so much space with outdoor seating and a cute environment.

I don't regret it at all ! I'm genuinely surprised that there weren't more people considering the weather was nice and they had alfresco dining. I was greeted warmly by the hostess and my bartender Alex. The short rib empanadas and tuna tostada were fresh and amazing. The sauces were flavorful and different than what I am normally served with my empanadas. But the stars if the show were the margaritas !!! The flavors were distinct and the margaritas were refreshing. But the blood orange one was carefully crafted. You could taste the flavor on your lips after each gulp. It is definitely something I would return for. Christian introduced himself , the chef made sure I was enjoying my food , and Parking was ample as which was a plus considering the intersection is busy. Great food and vibes

Food: 4 stars Service: 2 stars…read more My husband and I made a reservation for 6:30 on a Friday night for the Patio. This restaurant is downtown Mount Prospect along the Metra tracks. They have a nice sized outdoor seating area. The inside also looked cute. We were excited to see that they had a singer. At first he sang mostly Spanish songs but then switched to various songs and genres. He was very good. I'm not sure if he's a regular performer there or not though as this was our first time. We were seated and looked over the menu. We ordered chips and salsa (great chips and salsa btw). Then we ordered Dahlia margaritas. Chips and salsa came out quickly. Then we waited and waited and waited for our drinks. I saw a guy walking around with 2 not very appealing looking margaritas. He unsuccessfully attempted to deliver them to multiple tables, then finally came to our table and said "2 traditional margaritas" and we said no, we ordered Dahlia margaritas and he goes "Oh ya these are Dahlia margaritas." I looked at the margaritas and they had no salt and just looked meh. We kind of hesitated and he was like with no salt? And we were said no, we said salt. So we sent them back. Guys, I NEVER send things back...ever. Then we waited some more and finally the correct drinks were brought to us. We ordered our food, shrimp tacos and steak tacos. Then we were just chatting and we realized it had been awhile since we ordered. It was busy so we kind of just shrugged it off. Then our server came over and apologized that it was taking so long and said it should be out soon. We waited and waited and waited. We noticed that no one else around us seemed to be having delayed service. Then some girl who looked about 18 came over and apologized for the wait and asked if she could get us anything.... I wanted to say our food, but I did not. No joke, we waited 45 minutes for our tacos. All that was offered was a "sorry for the delay". When our food came we had to ask for silverware and then also ordered another round of margaritas (also side note the Dahlia Margarita is just meh and not worth the higher price). Our margaritas took 15 minutes. We were almost done with our dinner by the time they arrived. The shrimp tacos were really good minus the crazy amount of oil that dripped out while eating them. I held them sideways to try to drain as much out as I could. My husband enjoyed his steak tacos. Over $100 for 4 margaritas and 2 taco meals. Which is the standard nowadays. I will say the only reason we will not be returning is because of the service and the fact that they didn't seem to care that the service was so poor. Otherwise this would be a new favorite place of ours.

Beautiful private room area. Beautiful ceiling.
