Nina's is my go to taco shop in the DeKalb area. The food and drinks are always phenomenal. The…read morestaff is very kind and attentive - always asking if we need anything else and if the food is to our liking. The inside of the shop is a little small, but they have enough tables for a few groups to be able to eat in. We always get the carne asada and al pastor tacos. The meat is tender, crispy, savory, and overall cooked very well. The rice and beans are a great side to add as well. You have the option of hot or mild salsa, and the mild adds great flavor while the hot has great flavor and heat. We also typically get an horchata or agua fresca to drink, and all of their drinks are tasty and refreshing.

Food was fresh and compatible to tacos in Chicago :) very clean place with diner style seating. Would recommend to someone looking for genuine Mexican tacos! You can order them Mexican style (onion and cilantro) or American style ( lettuce, tomato sour cream). Server was great on recommendations! Oh and they have super cold Authentic Mexican style coke!

The dining room seemed understaffed, there were multiple things on the menu that were out of stock and part of my order came out incorrect. I'd give them another chance to see if it was just a bad day or if this is standard.

After a great experience there for that, she's brought other family members back. I can't wait to come back and try the different margaritas

Ah, good old Cub and Spanks…read more.. Now I've only been coming here for the past couple of months, but they fulfill a couple of requirements I require in a bar. 1) cheap drinks. And I don't mean this place is the kind of establishment that serves drinks in red solo cups, they serve them in regular plastic tumbler cups, and they're not bottom shelf garbage liquids either. A Jameson and Ginger ale will set you back a whopping $4. I feel like I'm stealing from the bar when I drink here! This is a good thing. 2) conversational level of crowd noise. This place has never been so loud that I couldn't hear the person I was sitting with, granted, we haven't come here on a Friday or Saturday night, so consider that the asterisk. I prefer a place where u don't need a bullhorn to talk to someone 3 feet away. 3) shuffleboard table. This place will always have a special place in my heart since I popped my shuffleboard cherry here on September 30th after closing out Charter Fitness. However, they've since replaced the old board with a new-fangled board with the prison bars that come up in the middle to avoid free plays, and the table is but crooked. Not that I'm a cheapskate and try to play for free, but the sand gets stuck in the holes so when you start a game, you have to manually push the bars in in order to allow your pucks to slide freely from end to end. I know, I know, #firstworldproblems 3) jukebox. Since the beginning if time, man has attempted to push forth their culture on those around them, and this is the perfect way to do it. You can even control the jukebox from your phone! Well, your smartphone at least. I don't think your Motorola StarTAC is going to help you out here, nor will your Nokia 8200. 4) regulars. You will see the same people day in day out here, whatever day of the week. They may or may not remember that you had a conversation about whatever you had a conversation about, but they're friendly. Or you can chalk it up to this place being a townie bar, but I won't call it that. Come to Cubbies, sidle up to the bar, and maybe drop a buck on a game of shuffleboard or two. If I'm there, say hello and challenge me to a game. I might show you a thing or two. Or not. I've only been playing for a couple if months...
