    It was supposed to be a tostada - gross!
    Janay G.

    I ordered $60 worth of food and when I opened the ONE piece of food for me it was disgusting. They didn't even bother to package it correctly. They wrapped it in aluminum foil and dumped all the salsa cups on top of it. I unwrapped it and the cheese was stuck to the top of the foil and the tortillas were soggy. When I called to complained they told me to complain to door dash. No interest in making it right. I will NOT be ordering from them again- not because of the mistake, because of the way I was spoken to by the manager and her lack of interest in keeping a customer that has ordered from them over 30 times since they've been open.

    Best tacos
    Ana V.

    It's absolutely my favorite place to get tacos. I can't imagine going anywhere else. They are hands down the best

    Steak Gorditas. Very dry

    No tables for dine in so that was a shocker considering they advertise dine-in. They still have their plastic covid wall up between you and the cashier which makes it hard to order / hear. Chicken Meat is seasoned pretty well but they put so much sour cream you can hardly taste the meat in the burritos. Wife got the steak Taco dinner. Mediocre at best. The steak was very unseasoned. Rice was super super bland. The beans were interesting but not horrible. Also tried their Steak Gorditas but they were super dry. Had to dip in salsa to make it edible Took a lot longer than expected to cook. Not the best but in a pinch it'll do. Lots of better Mexican restaurants Staff seems like they have an attitude and not the friendliest.

    Cheese Enchiladas Verdes
    Derrik B.

    After living in the neighborhood for a year, we finally found ourselves ordering from this place. I have been going to Nottoli and Sons for a while and Meson Del Taco Express is just a block down from there. The menu was exciting with the option for a chimichanga or plenty of tacos, and we went enchiladas verde with cheese, chili relleno, and three tilapia tacos served with Spanish rice and beans and a choice of three salsas. The red salsa was wonderful, juicy and flavorful - the verde was sweet and spot on - and the last salsa was cilantro free with a little heat. The size of the fish portion was huge and marinated very well, delicious and filling! The enchiladas were top notch with so much cheese you could mistake one single enchilada for a slice of Lous pizza - so much cheese pull on these enchiladas! There was a slight seasoning on top of the dish that made it unique and set the dish into a higher level. Last, the relleno was filling - a large portion topped with sauce, peppers and tortillas on the side. Definitely a new go to spot!

    Chilaquiles
    Dalia D.

    Doesnt look like much when you walk pass. Another Chicago taco shop? WRONG. I live literally across the street and thank heaven for it coz these are some fire ass Mexican food. I've had their el pastor tacos, no onion or cilantro, FIRE. Right now I'm eating their chilaquiles and them boys are HOT. And so delicious. They didn't get all cheap with the cheese either and plenty of sour cream on the salad! Do not snooze on this place.

    Bad avocado they charge $.75 for each

    It's a no for me Dawg. Meat was hard, charge extra for some blackened avocado, and the interior just makes me uncomfortable. I'd rather be overcharged somewhere I know the food is quality.

(inquire about the 4% service charge added) No rice or beans with any of my parties' dishes, not sure if that is an option. Time to be seated was less than five minutes for a party of four around 2:20 PM on a Sunday; busier times or days enforce their 90 minute time limit policy per table. The food was well seasoned, wish I tasted it a little more on the meat itself, yet all the vegetables tasted crisp and fresh. If you are looking to have intimate conversations be prepared to speak a lot louder, the DJ booth by the front keeps it pretty lively, but difficult to hold conversations across the table. Open authentic Mexican soda is always refreshing, and if you're looking for a place that has soft serve margaritas this is one of them. If you notice and unusual wait time or slow service please make your choice accordingly as I started to notice it was a case by case basis like some of the previous reviews had mentioned.

I must admit that I had low expectations because quite frankly, I have not enjoyed Mexican food outside of Mexico or California. However, we were hungry, and it was near where we were staying, so I decided we should check it out, and I am so glad we did! The food was great. Both adults and the VERY picky children in our group all enjoyed our meals. I ordered the green chicken enchiladas and the other adult ordered a chile relleno combo, which I also got to try. Everything was delicious and devoured by all! We were so full but the owner talked us into the chocoflan, and we did not regret trying it. It was soooo good! Speaking of the owner, the service was great. We really enjoyed how he and the rest of the staff were very courteous. It is a small establishment, and it gets a good amount of people, so I assume that there are waits during peak hours. I highly recommend Sabroso! And we plan to return the next time we are in the area.

Our server was very friendly and thoughtfully let me know that the rice is made with chicken broth, offering double beans or a side salad instead. As a vegetarian, I really appreciated that attention to detail. The restaurant is small, cozy, and clean. There's no parking lot, but we found free street parking on Erie Street right next to the restaurant. We'll definitely come back!
