My first time here, and it was such a great experience. Delicious food and a really fun vibe!…read more We walked in around 12:30pm Saturday, and even though the place was pretty packed, we were seated right away! I ordered the Paloma, and my husband got the Michelada, both super refreshing and made well. For food, I ordered the El Gringo with rice and salad. I definitely wish I had swapped the salad for beans, because my husband got both rice and beans, and I ended up finishing my rice and helping with his too lol. Highly recommend this dish, just go for the beans instead of the salad! My husband also ordered three tacos: Al Pastor, Chorizo, and Carne Asada, all of which were really good. One of the fun touches is that they have QR codes at the table to leave a Google review, and if you do, you get to spin a prize wheel. Of course I had to try it, and it made the whole experience even more fun. I ended up winning a free double shot! The staff were all super friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the music gave it a fun, vibrant atmosphere. I'd definitely come back!

Would be 5 stars if they hadn't gotten rid of the elote…read more My favorites were the elote and the tortilla chips. Best in the City. Found out that they no longer offer elote and that's so disappointing. Maybe I'm the only one who thinks this but it's a major mistake to cut elote from the menu. The other food items are still amazing.

They don't hand out receipts. The lady just told us how much we paid for. She asked for $60 but…read morewhen we add up everything it's only $48.75. No wonder why no people comes here when all other Mexican place got lines. We just ended up eating here because we are so hungry and the waiting line next door is 45 mins. When we arrive, there isn't at least one customer inside. Cheaters!!!!!

As much as it was packed from 2:30 til 3:30 we were still were able to order a drink at bar. Martin was so nice and took our order and brought it to us being we went back to waiting line. The place is small with a hard time to walk around when it's full. It's a nice bar restaurant and didn't realized until we were leaving that there's a back area. The bartenders could be a little more social and happy bc that seem a bit dull and unhappy working there. Unlike Martin he was happy. Mildred was our server and she did phenomenal. The food and drinks were great

Went with a friend on a Thursday night and it was surprisingly crowded. Been wanting to go to this…read moreplace since it opened as I live in the neighborhood. It's definitely got the Tulum decor vibe. My friend made reservations and we were seated right away. Tables are close together so I could hear others conversations but pretty typical city restaurant stuff. I could hear my friend fine so music wasn't too loud. They have a bar and tvs playing sports on the side too. Service was fast and nice. I got the Tulum Special and the limeade. The Tulum Special is a mix of nicely seasoned chicken, shrimp, cheese, rice, and fajita veggies. It also came with several corn tortillas wrapped in a vibrant colored fabric (which ngl, do they wash and reuse those?) that I could scoop the mix into. Pretty tasty (and also something I could make at home?). Portions were good - I took home about half and the leftovers made another two small meals. The limeade was freshly squeezed and nicely sour - really worth a try! My friend got veggie tacos and said they were watery. Overall good experience! I'll be be back for the fish folks rave about.

This place is awesome. But I also knew what I was getting into…read more Yes, this place is expensive. Yes, this place is loud. Yes, this place is meant for instagram. THAT'S THE POINT! This is meant to be your crazy expensive birthday bash or celebration, not an every day place. We are lucky to have a gem like this in Schaumburg with very busy servers who try their absolute best to give you a flashy service with delicious food. Are you seriously expecting this to be $50 meal for four? No way. There are many places you can get the same thing. Every time I've gone here, I've spent good money that I worked hard for, and have had great memories in the process. If you're expecting a simple Mexican restaurant, this is not your place. This is high end and very busy. Make a reservation, call in advance to make sure it's set. OpenTable is used by many restaurants, so you can't blame this restaurant for OpenTable's mistakes. The Los Tres Huastecos was PHENOMENAL. The Camarones Calavera was really fun to watch, experience, and eat. I don't drink, but my family loved their flashy drinks (the Deseo was their favorite). They made sure my father felt special on his birthday with a sash, a custom menu (which we requested for in advance with our reservation), and most servers took a moment to say happy birthday even when they weren't serving our table!! Chris was a fantastic server who despite being very busy, did a wonderful job with his service. I won't defend a place for no reason; I truly had a wonderful time that deserves its praise. I research everywhere I go, so obviously when my paycheck hasn't cleared, I'm not going here. But you also wouldn't go to Fogo De Chao or Hell's Kitchen and expect it to be as cheap as my burger at a Chili's (which I love as well). (Also for the comments about the guac, I do agree, but I've also seen the same size portion at other chains for the same price. *cough* south of the boarder *cough*)

If you're looking for a spot to celebrate a birthday or any special occasion, this place absolutely…read moredelivers. The whole experience feels like a party from start to finish. They offer these fun drink packages with sparklers and a whole crew coming out to hype you up--it's honestly such a cool touch and makes the night feel extra special. Just a heads up, it does get pretty loud--but in a good way. The music, energy, and overall vibe really bring the place to life, so if you're into that lively atmosphere, you'll love it. We went all in and ordered one of the giant shareable drinks for our group of six. It was definitely worth it for the experience, though a bit light on alcohol given the size. Pro tip: order a round of shots too--they serve them in this awesome airplane presentation, which just adds to the fun. Food-wise, everything was really solid. The octopus was a standout--perfectly cooked and super flavorful. The only letdown was the salmon; the portion felt a bit small for an entrée. Overall, great vibes, fun presentation, and a perfect place to celebrate with a group. Would definitely go back for another occasion.

All the…read moremimosas tasted like straight up champagne and we also weren't told what all the flavors were. I feel like when you get flights at other places, it's presented a bit better. I got the huevos verde and even though everything was cooked well, it lacked so much seasoning and flavor. The breakfast potatoes could've been a bit crispier too. They have a trio of hot sauces on the table and none of them were spicy and that says a lot from someone who cannot handle spice. I thought it was interesting that there were hot sauces on the table but no salt and pepper, but they have it if you ask. Service was great and the staff were nice but I don't see myself coming back.

If you're getting a reservation, ask for a table. We found the stool at the high tops very uncomfortable. Looking forwarding to coming back here. If you want to find and have a whole new respect for Mexican cuisine, this will do it for you.

Admittedly I came because I was curious by the new Bib Gourmand status, and sometimes I feel like…read morethe bib gourmand is too generous, but it's clear that this one was well deserved. Balanced and interesting and exciting flavors, amazing textures, impressive presentation for the price. And this was perhaps the best steak burrito I've ever had. Service is attentive and friendly, the inside is cutely decorated. The area is small so not great for large parties but surprisingly doesn't get too loud. It's not the most elevated dining experience but at around $50-100pp it's a great value. Will definitely be coming back.

We followed GPS to arrive at El Pueblito Mexican. The service was prompt and efficient. A very young waiter helped us. I think he was practicing his ESL skills as his diction and pronunciation was nearly perfect. I was pleased to be served by such a young man. Drinks and chips and salsa were brought out immediately. My son had the combination, I had the chicken fajita salad. The salad was really quite good but the guacamole was not quite like I am used to on the west coast. The ambiance is a hybrid restaurant take out in a strip mall setting. The dining is rather casual as there are no table cloths or glass covers on the tables. All in all a very respectable hi quality to cost ratio eatery. I definitely think the locals are aware of this establishment based upon the stream of take out orders I observed.
