    Traditional Mexican Steak taco..
    George L.

    I was staying at the comfort suites for the thanksgiving weekend and was looking for Mexican food as I was already tired of the snow bar food. And here is El Saltire Mexican little plaza. walking distance From hotel. I've been to Chicago many many times and I usually stay in the Rosemont area weather is fine restaurants. But the hospitality in this place is really warm nothing fancy at all about it as a matter fact it looks a little sketchy. But the service is four-star they cater to your needs very helpful with the menu also very reasonable and the portions are very big. The burritos and the tacos are outstanding the quesadilla was delicious and the fish tacos are to die for a must try. I've been here for 4 days vistes 3 times already.

    This is a local taco place not far from home for me and my wife. We came in just trying to find our new "go-to" after our last restaurant went down on quality. After the salsa and chips arrived at our table, we were hopeful. The salsa was really delicious. Unfortunately, the tacos came and while the al pastor taco was delicious, the carnitas and the steak taco were less than desirable. The horchata was made from powder. One saving grace was some good guacamole. They do have dollar taco tuesdays. So, if you're looking for a quick bite and an average, local place. Head here!

    Good service, good portions, good pricing, great salsa. Unfortunately the other flavors are underwhelming. I had a burrito lunch which was sized nicely and at $5.99 is a good deal. The steak though had that funny aftertaste you sometimes get with a cheap cut of meat. It needs to either be seasoned or chargrilled. The rice was ok, the beans were tasty but too runny for my taste. The salsas were tasty and spiced just right. I'll give it another try - as there are limited Mexican restaurants in this area - otherwise I may have to risk getting caught by the Franklin train to hit up the better spots just south.

    The food here is so good. I like going for $1 Taco Mondays (really good steak tacos). I haven't tried anything else on the menu - I've only ever gone on Mondays. You can eat in or get carry out. If you eat in, they give you chips and salsa at your table. They are located right by Dunkin Donuts and Subway on Irving Park Road. If you're in the area, check them out! :)

    During a long weekend in Chicago I was staying nearby El Mana so based on the Yelp reviews it…read moreseemed like a great place to grab some dinner. El Mana is just a small storefront restaurant in a corner plaza. Inside is very basic, no real decor, simple tables and chairs. The clientele seems to be mainly Hispanic which is always a good sign. For such a small place the menu is fairly extensive including breakfast and a whole page of seafood entrees. I ended up ordering the Camerones Al Mojo De Ajo (shrimp in garlic sauce). While waiting for my food I enjoyed the chips and salsa, good flavor and fresh, although the salsa was a bit salty. In about 10 minutes my food came out nicely presented on a pretty fish shaped dish, a large portion of shrimp, rice and a simple salad topped with fresh avocado slices and some warm flour tortillas. The shrimp were excellent plump and meaty in a zippy sauce laced with garlic. The rice was a great compliment, while the salad gave a nice fresh crisp element to the meal. Overall an excellent meal and a great dinner. El Mana is a great place to get some excellent Mexican food at a reasonable price, portions are generous, flavors a big, bold and straightforward. Service was good, but this is not a high end place, really not much to see and really nothing except great food.

    Delicious fresh and authentic Mexican food. Very glad we stopped here. Family owned and operated,…read moreeverything was delicious
