    I am a big mexican food person and I very much enjoyed El Amigo Pepe. Not the best mexican food I've had, but I would definitely come back. I got myself a small chicken quesadilla, but next time I'll have to try the tacos and have my husband come with. The service was good and the prices were fair. I come to Niles quite a bit so I am glad to have found a mexican place I like in the area.

    Steak burrito

    The steak burrito had a head of lettuce on it and hardly any steak. $14 for a little bit of steak some beans and a bunch of lettuce is ridiculous. Not impressed. Customer service at the food truck at Rural King was less than friendly as well.

    It's good authentic Mexican food. Friendly staff. Not the best I've had but a good place to try. No good parking area for this location.

    Absolutely Fantastic…read more The only this I would change are the hours, they're never open! The food is the best in Niles, by a huge margin. Service is great, speedy and friendly. The atmosphere is very cool, an old historic building. They always decorate well. I do wish a little more was done with it, but for what really matters at a restaurant, this place nails it.

    This is a great, unexpected find in Niles! I have a severe allergy to onion which usually leaves me…read morequite disappointed at restaurants. This was NOT the case at The Rage. This place is AWESOME. Hand made everything, real ingredients, separate fryers....I was actually able to eat fries for the first time out in YEARS, and they were absolutely delicious. The pomegranate lemonade was so good! The chicken tacos, crispy chicken club and traditional tacos were all thoroughly enjoyed by my family. Jyn made our experience here even better with her sweet personality and willingness to answer our questions. We will definitely be back. Restaurants across America need to follow the example of this restaurant....clean ingredients, compassion toward food allergies, hand made meals.....this is what we want more of. Thank you, The Rage, for offering people like me a place where we can actually enjoy a meal with our limitations.

    The food was really good! I had the Cowboy Burger. It was really good! It does have three buns so…read moreit's kinda tall. My wife had the grilled chicken BLT wrap. She especially liked the chicken in the wrap. The Long Island iced tea I order was great. It was heavy on the liquor, which I like, but still had a good taste. The waitress checked on us frequently and was very helpful and informative. The restaurant was a little loud, which isn't always a bad thing. There was a modern style juke box.

    Waitress was overwhelmed. That happens. Nothing came out right. The appetizer didn't come out until…read morewe mentioned it as the main food came out, then it didn't have the sauce. Took two tries to get the sauce. My sliders had zero seasoning and the fries were luke-warm, brown and limp - nothing like the ones I saw around us. My wife ordered her tacos with the sauce on the side, they came doused in sauce. She ate one, then asked for the remaining one to be re-done with the sauce on the side. A VERY long time later, they brought another full order. By that time, we were done and asked for it "to-go." After waiting a LONG time for our check, we looked in the to-go box and realized that there was NO sauce on the side. ...another long wait. Waitress explained that the owner was adjusting the charges which was why it was taking so long. We said "she needs to come over and talk with us," but she did not. The tacos were discounted, but really should have been comp'd. That isn't why I'm complaining, though. We were very frequent customers at their previous restaurant and drove quite a distance to try this one. We will try one more time, but it won't be for awhile. Kitchen needs to get with it. Owner needs to own-up to mistakes.
