Authentic Mexican food! One of the very few spots that serve sopes and gorditas de chicharron, so delicious! 10/10 recommends

Magic happened here
Claire T.

Me and my friend randomly stopped by this taco place in hopes for a good tacos. Now, its where we recommend all our friends to go!!! We sat outside on the most fun little benches. It was a great start to our meal. We both ordered horchata which was very tasty and not too sweet which I like. After deliberating for a while over the menu (everything looked good!) we both decided to get the taco plate, which comes with 3 tacos and rice and beans. The dream. I ordered bistec, al pastor, and asada, which our waitress said was her favorite 3! And I can see why. All the meat was perfectly juicy and flavorful. The steak taco actually came as a slice of steak, which was so tender and delicious. All of the meat was perfect. You could pay extra to get extra toppings, but they were so good with just the meat, onion, lime, and cilantro. I couldnt have asked for a better dinner. All in all, a great meal at a great establishment. All the wait staff were super kind and the food came out quickly. if you like great tacos, you gotta try Dona natys.

Pase aquí porque se me antojo unos tacos para el almuerzo. El restauran esta simple y limpio. Le gente eran amables y me ayudaron escoger tacos de tripa, al pastor, y de lengua. Antes de que me llegó la orden, me trajeron chips y salsa, con una chica sopa de coditos. Luego me llegaron los tacos. Y todo lo que ordene me salió delicioso! Les recomiendo este negocio si están de visita!

Pina Beverage And Tacos Vegetarianos

Certainly this place is better than Mexican fast food. It's one of the more accessible authentic places around here for those who aren't used to this kind of thing. Dona Naty's is a kind of small place with a lot packed into it. Has a pretty authentic menu of tacos of course, along with tortas and more. The prices are pretty good considering it's a local business and they use better ingredients and stuff. After doing something around this area, we came recently for a late bite. It's a kind of tiny place with not lots of seating. The place is pretty nondescript with a TV tuned into a Mexican channel, and the counter to place orders for takeout. It's also BYOB, so no alcohol. We instead got the Pina beverage, which was refreshing. As for the food, we got tacos of course. We got a few of the Taco Vegetarianos. It's $3.75 each. These come with cheese and sour cream, which I left off, along with avocados, beans, and rice. Good authentic Mexican. It's cheap for around here. There's the authentic meaty stuff but also things for vegetarians.

Had my first torta here and it was soo amazing!!! Super nice staff and great prices. A must stop when on Chicago Ave.

Hawaiiana y Cubana Torta

I've probably eaten way too many burritos from this place, but I can't resist and am bound to have more. It's so nice to have a local option that is affordable, filling, and tasty! The tacos are seasoned well and taste authentic, especially the marinade on the pastor. The tortas are giant, I can only finish one half. Burritos are typically my go to and I can definitely vouch for the ones here. They have generous filling and the tortilla is chewy, but stays structurally intact. It doesn't leak everywhere and the ingredients feel balanced. Interior is definitely a no frills type of place. They have cute swing benches in front of the store to eat at if the weather's nice.

We ordered a little bit of everything including the steak burrito, the chimichanga steak burrito, the chicken quesadillas, the shrimp tacos and the fish tacos. We also ordered a few sides of rice and beans as well as the guacamole appetizer. Everything tasted good, but I think my favorites included the chimichanga steak burrito and the fish taco (fish was super soft and flaky). I personally thought that the shrimp tacos were a little bit too salty with too much seasoning. The chicken inside the chicken quesadilla is a shredded/pulled chicken so just be aware of that when you are ordering. Service is fast and courteous! They have 6 or so small tables inside, so you can eat it or take to go.

Always solid authentic food, great guacamole, and very affordable for the quality. Nice and friendly staff.

I have no complaints. Doña Naty's serves good Mexican food. And the guy they have working at the counter is on point. He was friendly, polite, and very efficient. Everything I ordered had such an authentic taste, flavor and was seasoned well. I ordered the chorizo tostada, beans and rice. The meal also came with chips and salsa. I ate them while sitting outside on the swing bench table. And the salsa was so fresh it was as if they made it right before they served it to me. It comes with a tiny spoon so nothing was left to waste. Some Yelp reviews say the salsa was like pico but pico has cilantro. This salsa didn't have cilantro but jalapeno so I considered it a mild chunky salsa.

(inquire about the 4% service charge added) No rice or beans with any of my parties' dishes, not sure if that is an option. Time to be seated was less than five minutes for a party of four around 2:20 PM on a Sunday; busier times or days enforce their 90 minute time limit policy per table. The food was well seasoned, wish I tasted it a little more on the meat itself, yet all the vegetables tasted crisp and fresh. If you are looking to have intimate conversations be prepared to speak a lot louder, the DJ booth by the front keeps it pretty lively, but difficult to hold conversations across the table. Open authentic Mexican soda is always refreshing, and if you're looking for a place that has soft serve margaritas this is one of them. If you notice and unusual wait time or slow service please make your choice accordingly as I started to notice it was a case by case basis like some of the previous reviews had mentioned.

We got the mixed shrimp and steak fajita as the fajita Friday would give us a $5 discount. The fajita gives you a great fire show! However, if we didn't catch the server prepare the first few seconds, we would've missed it, so a heads up would've been appreciated. It felt a bit rushed. The steak and shrimp were solid but for $33 before tax and tip, it is a bit steep. However, the amount of food is good enough for 2 people for a light satisfying meal. I docked off a few stars because while the food is good, service really needs improvement. We had no utensils for 15 minutes. We had to flag the server a few times, nowhere to be found. They didn't even end up discounting the $5 and with how hard it is to get attention from a server, I had to force to leave no tip in the end to make up for the difference, in addition to the very poor service. For near closing when it's not busy, it's not acceptable to not be attended to during the dining service especially we had to leave the food cold waiting for utensils to even start eating.

I must admit that I had low expectations because quite frankly, I have not enjoyed Mexican food outside of Mexico or California. However, we were hungry, and it was near where we were staying, so I decided we should check it out, and I am so glad we did! The food was great. Both adults and the VERY picky children in our group all enjoyed our meals. I ordered the green chicken enchiladas and the other adult ordered a chile relleno combo, which I also got to try. Everything was delicious and devoured by all! We were so full but the owner talked us into the chocoflan, and we did not regret trying it. It was soooo good! Speaking of the owner, the service was great. We really enjoyed how he and the rest of the staff were very courteous. It is a small establishment, and it gets a good amount of people, so I assume that there are waits during peak hours. I highly recommend Sabroso! And we plan to return the next time we are in the area.
