    Chicken Flautas and beef burrito
    Carmen K.

    Stranded here in Chicago Midway after SW airlines weather system crashed! We had to get an overnight hotel nearby. We had all day to kill so decided to try the local food. We walked from the hotel on this main drag. It didn't look like much, but inside it is reminiscent of local places in Mexico and Costa Rica. The prices looked too cheap for the food to be good, but that is the opposite case here! My husband had the beef burrito. He loved it and renamed it the Life Burrito lol. I had the chicken flautas. They were topped with lettuce tomato, crumbled Spanish cheese, avocado and sour cream. Chicken was good and the flautas nice and perfectly crisp. I wasn't expecting such a healthy portion, especially since where we are in the airport the night before charged $4 extra for guacamole! They have lots of fruity beverage options, that I did not try, but look delicious. I would be a regular if I lived here for sure! Delicious and cost effective! The woman who served us was friendly and attentive. It felt like I was at a friends house for lunch back in the day in NY.

    Milanesa de pollo....where is the chicken???
    Cindy G.

    I've been in here a few times, and It's very inconsistent. Today I ordered a Milanesa de Pollo, which is breaded chicken, and I wondered where did the chicken go??? I posted a picture because I could not believe how thin it was!!!! It was like eating a potato chip!!! I've had the huarache and the quesadilla con chorizo y papa and they were both really good, but I'm not sure if I want to give this place another try after the crispy chicken chips I was given!!! (Look at my photo) They also have natural "aguas frescas", and I was lovin' the mango until I actually paid attention to how they made it! No wonder my mango water was so good...they add two big scoops of sugar to really capture that "natural" flavor!!! If I wanted that much sugar I would just go buy myself a great big bag of candy....or drink a milkshake instead!!! They probably have less sugar than the mango water!!! Next time I will skip it and go to Sugar Shack!!! At least they are upfront about what they are serving!!!

No matter when you go, the quality and flavor never disappoint. As it gets later in the day, it can become a little loud for conversation, but honestly, the great food makes up for it. The waitresses and waiters are attentive, friendly, and do a great job keeping things moving even when it's busy. Still a solid spot that delivers great food every time.

    Stopped by Tequila CJ Cantina today with a small group for a birthday dinner and left with mixed…read morefeelings. On the positive side, the food was really good. Everything we ordered came out fresh, well-seasoned, and they offer big portions. Definitely a strong point and the highlight of the visit. However, this is the third time service was less than impressive. There were long and noticeable gaps between check ins. It wasn't overly busy for a mid afternoon and they didn't seem short staffed. Also worth noting for those planning to stop by: gratuity is automatically included for parties of four or more. While that's not uncommon nowadays, it stood out more than it probably should have due to the slow service. Overall, the food was great, but the pace of service really put a damper on the experience. We ended up being there for close to two hours, largely due to the slow service. Toward the end of the meal, we also weren't offered a dessert menu, which made the experience feel a bit incomplete since again we were celebrating a birthday. It's unfortunate, because we came in wanting to support a local neighborhood spot. That said, the service challenges once again made it hard to fully enjoy the visit, and I'm not sure I'll be returning.
