We had to have other staff find our waiter 4 times, he messed up our order, no problem, it happens.

He was in the slot area or on his phone. Terrible terrible service.

I ordered steak nachos on March 1, 2026 and again on May 22, 2026. Same price, but the portion size was dramatically smaller. Even the sides of hot sauce were about half the size. I honestly thought there had been a mistake, so I literally made a U-turn on Pulaski and walked back in to ask if my order was correct. The employees acted like nothing had changed, which made the whole thing even more frustrating. I attached comparison photos from March vs May. The newer phone camera may look clearer, but trust me -- the portion difference is real. I've eaten these nachos for years and noticed it immediately. Really disappointing because this used to be one of my favorite local spots.

Got some Mexican food in Alsip. It has lots of these restaurants around here. Las Fuentes is one of…read morethese and could be the best one. Has a basic atmosphere to it. They have the usual menu items like margaritas and tacos with somewhat authentic flavors and things. Coming here it looked much like a basic Mexican restaurant with all the typical decor and everything. It's got a bar and we sat here. There's also plenty of tables. Has about what to expect as far as what to get. It's about $11 for a mojito. The drinks are kind of pricy but not as much as the food though. It's about $16 for an entree. We got the Tacos Mexicanos. Comes with choice of proteins, including vegetarian if not wanting beef or chicken. These have queso fresco which I left off, broccoli, cauliflower, green peppers, red peppers, and tomatoes. Quite a lot. These are served with pinto beans and rice. Had some pretty filling drinks and food here. It's located on the north side of town on Pulaski. There's meaty choices as well as options for vegetarians.

We ordered Skirt Steak, Camarones Diablo, Chile Rellenos, and Fried Fish. I would recommend all of those dishes ($200+ overall check). Plus they start you off with chips & salsa... brownie points for that. Definitely. Also ordered a large Watermelon Jalapeño Margarita ($44 feeds 6 small drinks), very tasty and not too bitter nor too sugary. We live pretty far from here so we wanted to give a new place a try and decided this was the spot. I would say the only part that rubbed us the wrong way was the mandatory 20%+ gratuity if you have 4 people or more. I've always seen groups of 6+ people get hit with this but I get understand in a way to be like every other restaurant / be more competitive. Honestly, we probably were going to leave 20% or more either way but it would've been a horrible experience if our service was trash & they still received top tier gratuity. Thank you Las Fuentes!

The taco itself felt like it was just rushed and not put together with care. Very thick pieces of tomato and the tortilla was very soggy. The place itself looked very clean and colorful, perhaps I would try this place again but get something different then fish tacos. I think if your charging around $4.00 per taco then it should be something good or at least enjoyable. There's a of great places that make really good tacos and as of right now I do not think this is the place.

I ordered the al pastor burrito w/o beans, chicken tacos and carnitas tacos. Burrito was the best of the bunch as it was juicy and I didn't notice any old overcooked/dry/old meat mixed in. Chicken tacos were also juicy but I didn't care that it was so finely minced up. I rather it have a little more texture but it was tasty. Next were the carnitas. Didn't do it for me as it tasted like either older or overcooked dry meat was mixed in.
