    This used to Be The Mighty Kong on Stockton Blvd. They had great muffins! Colonial Heights area. You have to park in the neighborhood which might take awhile to find a spot. Colorful Mexican decor. Had burritos which were a little different than what we are used to. A little bit sweet being Burria but very moist. They give you chips & salsa to start which were quite tasty. Had a couple cold beers with our lunch. No outside dining. They have a small bar in the dining area. Met Gabby, the owner who was friendly as she came up to the table & chatted w/us. Will try the enchiladas next time.

    Restaurant is located in Abby Square close to UCD! Despite the exterior appearance , the food here is delicious. Their carnitas plate and Birria tacos- chef's kiss!! To top it off, the staff are very friendly!! If you're in the mood for delicious tacos, then you must visit them.

    Yelp and Google stated that this place closes at 9. We came at 8 and weren't able to order because the kitchen was closed.. there were people sitting at the bar that watched us stand at the front upon entering. Then we helped ourselves to a booth, waiting for a server to come up and give us further instructions (to order at the front or where to get a menu). It turned out one of the people at the bar worked there and didn't say anything to us the whole time we were there looking around for a staff member. My husband walked up to ask where we can get a menu just for them to say the kitchen was closed... a whole hour before listed closing..? At the very least they could have gave us a heads up right when we walked in. The only reason I gave the extra star was because the exterior actually looked nice with a big mural so that it was easy to find/park next to. There is street parking but no parking lot and as soon as you walk up it smells very strongly like fish- just a heads up. Most likely won't be coming here again because the staff seemed to no have common courtesy to communicate their closure without us having to find and seek them out and ask for a menu. Also the unpredictability about whether they can even cook the food when they are open.

    Great food , great service everything tasted amazing and one hundred percent would come back and bring others back here . Everything was fresh and well made

    I am ALWAYS passing by the spot and I'm so glad I finally decided to drop in! First off, this is an underrated gem located in the south sac area which is a nice change if aren't a fan of being in midtown/downtown all the time for some drinks and good food! The service was fantastic. The atmosphere was awesome and I loved the art on the walls. I ordered the torta and their house coffee (cafe de la olla). The coffee tasted nostalgic! And they even give you a side of animal crackers! Was definitely a nice change. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great Mexican food and drinks.

    So happy to see more restaurants opening up on a fairly dead stretch of Stockton Blvd. The premise of this restaurant is Sinaloan-Japanese fusion. I'm so excited this is finally open. It's very heavily Sinaloan with a few Japanese elements, primarily as sushi rolls with a lot of cream cheese. We skipped the sushi and ordered more interesting sounding things, like the octopus sriracha tacos, and the tuna tamarind ceviche. My brother wanted the 1lb of carnitas as well. The octopus sriracha and tuna tamarind were very saucy, but flavorful and delicious. The carnitas were DIY tacos--pretty standard. Our waitress was very attentive and came back often to check on us to make sure things were okay. All in all, happy to have this in the neighborhood. I hope they're able to make it last. I'll be coming back to try more things, along with recommending to friends for a visit.

    I looked up this place when I drove by. I decided to try it out on our soup night because they had pozole on the menu. I called in asked a few questions and read some reviews before making my decision. After I decided on the food I placed the order online and waited to pick up since they are 3 minutes away. When I walked in I noticed people singing karaoke. I thought it was a private event only to find out on Sundays they do Karaoke all day ! It was so nice to see people of all ages singing, dancing and having fun. I met with the bartender to pick up my order. It took longer than expected, said to be ready at 6:35p brought out to me by 6:50p. I am glad I waited patiently because the food ALL of it was so fresh, tasty and you can tell they make everything from scratch. I enjoyed all my food every bite ! I will definitely come back to enjoy this gem. I great addition to our oak park community ! Check them out !

    I just left Orale for dinner. The color and decor is the first thing that hits you when you walk in. Very beautiful and authentic feel to it. Hakeem the owner was there and I had him all to myself. Needless to say, service was excellent. I ordered the chicken fllautas meal. It was delicious! Service was really fast and the chips and salsas were excellent as well. Best of luck to you Hakeem, I can tell you're a great guy! Mucho exito!

    Amazing chilaquiles - the best I've had in many years.  Tangy green sauce with cheesy scrambled eggs and exceptional rice & beans.

    Great local spot. Super tasty with great service. A new go-to for Mexican food in the Tahoe Park, Colonial Heights, Oak Park area!

    Flautas, Fish Tacos, Carnitas quesa-taco and skinny Cadillac margaritas
    Ilena D.

    We had a great experience here on Fathers Day! The flautas and fish tacos were absolute standouts. The fish tacos were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We ordered skinny Cadillac margaritas and they were excellent too! Not overly sweet. The house salsa had a little heat, which my husband loved (he's all about the heat). The place is also super family-friendly--when I stepped outside with our baby because he started fussing, the owner kindly invited me back in and told me not to worry. That small gesture meant so much and made us feel truly welcome. Great food, warm hospitality, and a casual, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!

    Carnitas taco plate.

    We've been meaning to come here for a long time. We will definitely be back. Friendly service and good food. My husband had the enchilada plate, I had a taco plate with carnitas. I am already planning on having the pozole next time. They serve breakfast all day, too.

We totally forgot with everything we have going on that day that it was dine downtown. The menu looked good, but I was already set on getting pozole so we didn't order off the dine downtown menu. Plus, we've also been here plenty of times and love it already. We were really bummed to find out that you get charged for chips and salsa and they don't come out automatically without asking and it also the charge is dependent on how many people are in your party. Also, when the chips came out, there was only one salsa, which hasn't usually been the case. We're not sure if this was just some modifications because of dine downtown happening, but it was a bummer. We ordered the taquitos for an appetizer and those were OK..nothing special. I ordered the pozole verde with chicken, which is my favorite! And my best friend ordered the Carnitas plate. My posole was really good. It came with the side of the status and all the toppings. However, the Carnitas lacked flavor and were a bit dry. Neither of us would probably order that again. We also ordered a couple of blended mockaritas, one strawberry and one mango and both were tasty, but the strawberry would definitely needed another blend as there were a big chunks of ice. I think that because of the craziness with dine downtown..service and food quality we're a bit lacking, but I will always come back to Mayahuel for the pozole verde !

    I love to eat Mexican food and La Favorita Taqueria does it the best! I've been coming here…read moreconsistently for 5 years and this place does not disappoint! I visited this past Saturday and it was quite busy inside like it always is. The restaurant is large enough to fit a lot of people, so finding a seat isn't an issue. To order, you line up in front of the register and wait until they call you. Once it was my turn, I ordered a Super Burrito with Al Pastor, which is my favorite protein choice there. Usually I order 2 tacos with my burrito but I was saving room for Korean bbq that day! The Super Burrito comes with your choice of meat, rice, beans, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. I also ordered a medium pineapple agua fresca, which paired perfectly with my burrito. After ordering, you're handed a number to take to your table so the servers know where to bring your food. As I'm waiting for my food, I helped myself to the self-serve chip bar. The chip bar is my favorite thing about the restaurant besides the food and quick service. I always get loads of both the white and red pickled onions, and some salsa to go with my chips. They offer many sides to choose from so that anyone can customize their meal to their liking. The pickled onions have the perfect level spice and acidity to them which helps with cutting down the greasiness you may get from a burrito. I also like to snack on them for fun too! The food comes out extremely quickly. When I finished placing my order and brought my number to my table, I went to the self-serve bar right after to get some chips. Not even 2-3 minutes later, I came back to my table with my burrito already there! The burrito was absolutely delicious and piping hot. It's the perfect size for me and eating it with the pineapple agua fresca and some chips makes it a perfect meal! Coming to La Favorita Taqueria is always a treat and I appreciate the quick customer service, self-serve bar, and delicious food! I highly recommend the Al pastor as your protein choice and honestly you can't go wrong with anything on their menu!

The crispy taco, enchilada, and burrito with steak or carnitas are solid. The salsa and chips come out once you sit down and are really good. I put the salsa on everything and always end up with leftovers as the portions are large. With so many options on the menu, you will always leave this spot happy and full!
