They have margaritas on special for happy hour until 6 every day. I had the lime and my husband had strawberry. I liked the strawberry slightly better. It wasn't crazy sweet like most strawberry margaritas I've had before. The steak and chicken tacos were very flavorful and a decent size. The pork tamales were tasty and a good size. The pozole soup was yummy and a large size for $5.

this is a whole experience. I went to tacos to go multiple times before this new ownership and at…read morefirst when I went there it was good. not great but good and then when I went there under the other ownership it was way overpriced and not that good but I gave it another chance. they've done a lot of redecorating. they have a whole new look and this THIS time, everything went right from the customer service to the show-stopping birria ramen and the birria tacos. the Birria ramen with a bonus Taco and dipping it into the ramen was a sinful & delectable reward. I now only will go to tacos to go for my Mexican food cravings. I feel so lucky to have been reacquainted with this lost love of mine and it's so close to my house that I am now going at least once a week. I will always be a fan now and forever.i love you. and your horchata

It also left like an oily after taste it was bizarre. Had zero hint of salt or citrus. Definitely was not worth the price of it. The tacos were okay but nothing to rave about. The veggie fajitas were good (I did find bits of leftover meat which is fine since I eat meat but probably wouldn't be for someone who doesn't). The fajitas were oily and definitely needed some salt added. The tortillas were so good. I heard so many good things about this place but I won't be back.

I will begin here, I heard about this location via a recent Facebook post about Saturday taco…read morespecial (taquiza). Upon my research, I discovered they offer breakfast options each served with toast or pancakes. Very comfortable location, plenty of seating with booths and tables. Staff is friendly, greeted upon arrival. Food is well prepared and arrives to table hot. I tried the Chicago Omelette, made with avocado, tomato and bacon with a side of hash browns and pancakes. I am glad I stopped in, I look forward to returning.

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.

Would be 5 stars but they always forget something. Usually a side like salsa or jalapeños. This…read morelast time I ordered was most annoying though. The cashier confirmed the details of the order twice and I still got the wrong item. I ordered their cheeseburger which is supposed to come with bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomato. Guess who got no bacon, tomato or cheese? It's literally how their menu describes it, did they forget? The basic hamburger I received for $11 plus tax isn't worth it. No complaints on the quality of the food, it is great considering the area. Their chicken is juicy although on the smaller side. We've gotten the family chicken meal multiple times and the flavor is consistent. The burger patty has a great charcoal taste although pretty dry so I wouldn't order it again. During these times where every penny counts, and eating out is a luxury for many, not getting the basic meal I ordered is frustrating. Unless you take everything out of the bag to verify it before leaving you never know what you will be missing. (Who is really going to open up their cheeseburger with dirty hands to verify it has cheese though?!) I understand if it's an "extra" they aren't used to including but something that is standard? Not ok if it isn't free.

I finally tried Birria today for the very first time... tried purchasing 1 birria taco just to try in case I wouldn't like it & for some reason I couldn't buy just one, I had to buy 3.

We wanted to try the goat birria but they didn't have goat just beef, and wow the taste was amazing. So delicious. I will be back for more! 10/10 service was good.
