    Good food, good staff and the place has a nice laid back feel. Definitely worth the stop if you crave Mexican.

    Kings ad queens and heroes and heroines go to Tequilas for special occasions. Carnitas and margaritas make a worthy feast.

    Food is above average. The inside is just ok, the reason to come here is obviously some above average Mexican food.

She took care of the entire store and restaurant all by herself. The restaurant is very tiny, but the food is delish. The restaurant was empty when I arrived at 1pm. She put on the Mexican music when I arrive. Service is fast. The owner explained the menu and provided good recommendations. I tried 4 tacos of different meat: birria, lengua, steak and carnitas. All are served with onions and lime. I love birria and lengua the most, followed by carnitas. I picked an authentic Mexican soda from their fridge. I love all the drink options available.

However in the back there's a dining area. They make tacos and tortas. After looking around a bit we found where to order at. It's got a window in the back. There's a small menu of a few authentic Mexican items and the choices of protein. Mostly it's tacos of course. These are pretty easy to make. It's $4 each. Protein choices include beef, chicken, or get beans and vegetables. Got us a couple of tacos with the beans. These were topped with cilantro and onions. Small but full of flavor. The store has drinks such as Jarritos, and you can get big ass cans of beans so you can make tacos for later. Good place to get authentic Mexican food. It's located on West Jackson Street at Illinois Avenue in a building that looks unassuming from outside. There's taqueria is located in the back, and you order at the window.

It hardly is that authentic, but it's not trying to be though. Honestly it's better than it looks. The prices are kind of expensive unfortunately. Basically this is classic Mexican American food. It's got a few locations, including this one. This has the feel of a big chain to it, though. Anyway, the drinks and food are okay if not expecting much. The high prices make it hard to be satisfied. It's about $12 for a margarita. The Blue Lagoon is made with Blue Curaçao and it got us lit for sure. Food is even more expensive. It's about $15 for the Taco Salad Veggie. This comes in a crispy tortilla bowl, and is filled with broccoli, cheese dip and sour cream which I left off, guacamole, lettuce, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and zucchini. Good stuff but certainly not worth the charge. The rest of the menu has typical Americanized stuff like fajitas and tacos. For sure it's not bad food. It's located on Giant City Road by University Mall. There's some things okay for vegetarians.

Served with lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and guacamole, with cheese sauce on top. Nowhere did it mention pieces of bacon in the meat mix. I asked the server if I'd misread the menu. After consulting a guy in Spanish, she said "sorry" and sent it to be fixed. The "new" plate looked no different. I spent a few minutes weeding out more chunks of bacon. She stopped to ask us (4 in party) if everything was good. I told her NO! Still have bacon in my dish! Pointed out that 2 of the others asked for changes; no sour cream on the taco salad & no mushrooms on the veggie quesadilla. Neither request was honored. I eat KOSHER, so no pork! To have it HIDDEN in the dish is offensive. She asked if I'd like something different. I told her I don't trust you anymore. No one item on their menu lists bacon. What about someone with ALLERGIES? Other than saying "sorry" repeatedly, she did nothing to improve the situation. No apologies to the others for her mistakes. No discounts. She did remove my dish from the bill. I still paid for my Pepsi. I should have taken pictures of the pork-fest and asked for the manager but didn't think of that until later. I did leave her a tip 2 cents!
