One of my fav Mexican restaurants! The prices are inexpensive and the food and portions sizes are…read moregreat for me lol. They have a super extensive menu (at least 6 pages) so there's something for everyone here. Some of my favs are the shrimp empanadas, you get about 3 and they are huge so perfect for sharing with someone. And the guacamole is also delicious and great for sharing. You get complimentary chips and salsa and the avocado salsa is so good I literally just want to drink it. It's got a hint of spice without being super spicy and it's perfect on top of your tacos, burritos or frankly anything else you order here. The beef stew is tasty and perfect for a quick lunch on a cold Chicago day. My favorite main dishes are of course the steak tacos but I've recently started ordering the steak tostadas and they are delicious! I always ask for my steak to be cooked extra crispy with grilled onions and I can promise you if you order it that way it will not be over cooked but super tender and flavorful. The burritos are huge and have a nice portion of meat on the inside (you know sometimes it's all beans and rice and 1/2 scoop of meat) but they really don't skimp you on that here. The fajitas are also good, I love getting the chicken and steak combo. They have two options for rice, either Mexican or Puerto Rican and both are good. The beans are good here as well but I'm a rice girl so I usually give those to my husband. They have a full bar so you can order a fast cocktail or a nice margarita. I usually opt to get horchata and honestly sometimes it's hit or miss but for the most part it's pretty good. The staff is nice and pretty quick about getting your food about. You can order to go or dine in which is what we usually do. It's a pretty big place on the inside so you can definitely come with a group of friends.

Upon walking in we were barely greated. It wasn't until we walked up to the register did a man say…read moresomething. I feel like maybe they were under staffed but they were not busy!!! A lot of takeouts but not dine in customers like me. after 10 minutes of seating ourselves and me grabbing the menus myself our wait came out.. she politely greeted us and set out the chips and 2 different salsa's. I can say that the chips were fresh and the salsa were delicious! Both flavors were but for some reason I preferred the green over the red but when mixed toyot was heavenly. We proceeded to order and my friend got a steak tack dinner that came with 2 and rice and beans but she opted for double rice instead. It is Taco Tuesday so I got the special which was whatever filling/meat you want for 2.50 each. I ended up with 3 steak tacos and small elote and a strawberry margarita on the rocks.. our waitress who was slow took so long to do things that I was getting full from the chips and salsa before the food came out. Anyway our food came out and the tacos were delicious, the meat could have been seasoned more because it was a little bland to my liking but it was still good. It was steak tacos on a corn tortilla shell with cilantro, onions, cheese and tomatoes. The elote was delicious it had the cheese I cannot pronounce with sprinkle on paprika etc. Tje margaritas were good because they didn't hold back in the liquor but by friend didn't like hers because it had no flavor! But of course it wouldn't have flavor if you didn't order it with flavor!! lol...waitress could have been more attentive but the main attraction really was the chips and salsa for me.. they have a wide variety of food options.. I think I will try them again just to see if service would be any better...

We celebrated a friend's birthday here at 3:00pm for happy hour, and it turned out to be a…read morefantastic experience from start to finish. One of the best surprises for anyone with a gluten sensitivity is that all of their happy hour drinks are gluten-free, which immediately took the stress out of ordering from the separate menu. While the menu does not explicitly mark items as gluten-free, the staff is extremely knowledgeable, and we discovered that a great variety of happy hour options can easily be made gluten-free. I kicked things off with the Roja sangria before moving on to the frozen trio. Although the Paloma was not freezing properly at the time, the bartender was wonderfully accommodating and expertly crafted a custom margarita using those delicious Paloma flavors instead. My trio featured the coconut agave margarita, a Paloma made with the classic margarita base in guava passionfruit, and a spicy mango margarita. For food, we started by splitting the dip trio, paired with chips that are safely made in a dedicated fryer. We also ordered tacos on corn tortillas, sampling both the chicken pastor and the traditional carnitas, and every single bite of the food was delicious. Although they do not carry any gluten-free desserts, the server offered the birthday girl one of her choosing. Between the accommodating service and the stellar food and drinks, the entire gathering was a huge success.

Comes with rice and beans. Steak is topped with grilled jalapeno and onions. REALLY good guacamole and chips. They don't use peppers so it wasn't spicy, which is perfect for me I learned today this location seats up to 110ppl and is rented out for parties for free with food purchase. You can decorate as you like. Also they have another location at 4949 Butterfield in Hillside

Both very good, no fat like most other Mexican restaurants in the area!! Huge turn off! The al pastor was great which is a hard one to please me. Steak also good, no fat! I really liked their red salsa which was unlike any other I've had before. It was a creamy tomato sauce, not too spicy. Also rice and beans were good. Rice better than most around here with more flavor. They also threw in a couple tortilla chips with my beans which tasted homemade. ..fresh and crunchy! Will definitely be back!

Food selection is standard Mexican food with loads of specials. For our first visIt we opted for two tortas. My son had the carne asada torta and he suggested I rate a 4.5. I had the Milanesa de res. All I have to say is we made great choices. The food was fresh, fast and delicious. ThIs is definite new favorite. Ample parking in a small strip mall. Next to a laundromat. I told them to put a flag sign on the curb but they said the villagee did not allow it. It's up to you fellow Yelpers try it out and spread the word.

Both Guac and Tacos in Elmhurst refuse to give you a normal amount of meat.
