I came here to grab some tacos. This restaurant was recommended by coworkers from my job. I got…read moresome to go, Tacos. I must say they are phenomenal. I will definitely be coming back. The beans are a bit bland. However, I do like the rice the waitress was very pleasant, very kind and was very helpful. The price for the taco dinner was not bad. It was only $9.99. I also got a margarita to go, which was an additional $5.50 and I must say the margarita was surprisingly stronger than what I expected.

I ordered the Tostada Steak dinner - it comes with rice and beans - which were great. I also added some chips and salsa. The chips are plentiful and the salsa is in a smaller size cup, but it's very tasty. I also received a small container of some sauces - one hot and one green. It wasn't hot. Loved everything here. Tostada's are hard sometimes, because if they get soft, it's hard to eat them. The container fit two but the third one was wrapped in foil. I will definitely come back and try something NEW next time!!!

I made the mistake of ordering El Salto catering for a lunch gathering for 25 people. I chose the…read morehighest tier catering package for $16 a person and ordered Chicken fajitas, carnitas, and tamales. The order was supposed to be ready at 11:40 AM and it wasn't ready until closer to 12 PM. When we unpackaged the contents, we realized that there were no tortillas included in the order. There was a small tray of Mexican rice, beans, lettuce, tomato, cheese, carnitas and the chicken fajitas. The chips came in a large ziplock bag with 1 quart of salsa. Order came with serving spoons, but did not include 25 plates OR 25 napkins and we were short. When I called the restaurant to inquire about the missing tortillas, I was transferred to a manager who did not believe us that we were shorted the tortillas. She put us on a brief hold and returned to the line to state that the staff packaging the order is "90% certain" they included the tortillas in one of the aluminum trays. She asked us a few times to check the cardboard box. We informed her multiple times that the box is empty and that there are no tortillas in this order. It is very hard to enjoy a fajita bar without tortillas. She then decided to inform us that if we wanted, we can come back to the restaurant to pick up "MORE" Tortillas. I explained again that we do not have ANY tortillas and picking up MORE tortillas at this point in the lunch was not worth it since the order was already late and people had already started eating. The part that bothered me the most is that there was no acknowledgement or apology for the missing item in the order and an unbelieving attitude as if I was lying. I told her that there is no reason for me to lie and say I am missing tortillas. There's no value in me trying to secretly get extra tortillas if there are not even enough proteins to supplement those tortillas. All in all, we paid $500 for this catering order and the amount of food that we received felt like closer to a $200 order. The trays for the rice, beans, and proteins were mini trays and I found it very hard to believe that they expected that to feed 25 people. Additionally 1 quart of salsa is NOT enough for such a large number of people. And if I'm paying for a catering order that is supposed to be 25 people why wouldn't you double check there's enough plates and napkins??? As for the taste of food, my colleagues remarked that the food lacked flavor and tasted very bland. The tamales were very stringy inside and not able to cut through the inside without using a knife. If we had had enough salsa, that may have helped. All in all we will NOT be ordering from El Salto ever again. If you want decent Mexican food for a large crowd, honestly QDOBA is better and cheaper.

The decor is really cool with a lot of 1950s and 1960s style antiques. There's an old jukebox that they are in the process of getting repaired. There are tons of old pictures on the walls and vintage newspaper advertisements. It has two dining rooms and the decorating all sticks with that 1950s and 1960s themes. The booths are in perfect repair and if you like you stepped into the 1950s, even the tables are the old style 1950s tables. It's a very charming place! All of the food was cooked perfectly. The service was impeccable and they are very nice. It's not a fancy place like you were downtown Chicago. It's a cute place that is arguably the best on the strip of 119th Street in Whiting..... At least when you're talking about this sort of style. There's plenty of street parking but they also have parking behind the place. They pay a lot of attention to detail to make the place feel comfortable, even live plants. When you Walk in the door, you notice that the room is painted robin's egg blue. The place is just so cheery it will make you happy.

The lamb did not taste like how it usually did and the tacos were pretty dry. The service was good. They predominantly speak Spanish be sure they are transparent with you about what it is that you were paying for. My order was correct. The ambience of the place was clean. There were a lot of pick up orders in there along with me during lunchtime hour. This is definitely my sign to try something else on the menu. You can't go wrong with your order here. Just communicate to them if you like your meat more juicy let them know if you like it more dry let them know. The next time I go I'll be sure to communicate that to them.
