    The sauces
    Sally L.

    We were here on a Saturday evening. It was empty when we came in. It is not a big place but it has a few tables for dine in.The washroom was clean. We ordered Taco salad with lengua, sonora dog, and tonto burrito. We also ordered two drinks horchata and agua de Jamaica. The food didn't take too long to be ready. The drinks were huge! The horchata was real good not too sweet like some other places. My taco salad with the beef tongue was really good except it was a little oily. The burrito that my boyfriend got was huge for the size. It could be two meals for me. The staff was nice and friendly. When we were done, she told me that they usually don't put the lengua on the taco salad. Since I ordered it, they just made it for me. I would come back again if we are in the area. Overall the price is pretty good and portion is pretty big.

    The Tonto Burrito was awesome, the size of a premature infant and had a tattoo. Don't fill up on chips! #rookiemove

    With the multiple, large Mexican restaurants nearby, I think this spot is a sleeper that deserves more recognition. The service was friendly and fast and the food was the real deal. It's a small spot. So I'd advise going in off hours if you're dining in. Thank you for making my holiday visit with my dad a little bit cooler.

    "Elote"

    Me and my girlfriend come here at least once a week for elote (it's been a pregnancy craving no judgment) however we went in last the service was absolutely terrible. It was a Sunday afternoon and they weren't busy, so that's not even an excuse. But we went in ordered an elote, and then left. Upon opening the lid we realized there was no cheese in it.... So we turned around. When we let them know hey look there wasn't any cheese on it could you add it. But here's where the real shocker is, they tried to convince us there was in fact cheese on it to begin with (idk what happened to the customer is always right) But this isn't even where the problem lies. Once they added cheese we opened it up again it and it was like they dumped a whole cup in there. I was so shocked because it went from just lacking one ingredient to being barely edible. So I went back in and was like we were just in here, to which they needed me to convince them of when we came in (ALL THE WHILE ITS THE SAME PERSON TAKING CARE OF US) and then once I refreshed their memory again tried to convince me it was on there to begin with. IT WAS NOT. So I was like please remake this it's barely edible. They make another one with no spice, but you know what at this point we are both over it, so she eats it anyways. But the real icing on the cake is that this was the bottom looked like... like thank you for making the most watery under spiced have to beg to be cheesy elote! We will not be returning.

    Had the jaliscience birria, California burrito and steak taco plate. Jaliscience burrito was good but the meat was lacking flavor. California was delicious but steak was on the salty side. Steak tacos were good but just like the steak on the California is was on the salty side too. Staff was super friendly and nice.

    Nachos Supreme & Lemonade.

    I ordered online and got there a little earlier than the expected time. But they made my food right away. Which was super nice of them. I was debating to go back to work and eat there, but they were playing some good music so I decided to stay and eat there. The food was so good and fresh. The steak was nicely seasoned. The nacho cheese was good too differently, not the generic kind. And the limonada tasted it was made from fresh limes! Also, the salsas tasted so good, too, especially the creamy lime one! Differently coming back here to get my nacho fix!

    Was pretty good, this was the definition of Midwest Mexican food, it was ok but the price you pay makes it very not worth it.

    Let's start with the great…read more.. Location is easy to find. 30 minutes from my home, but people online love it, so we took the drive. No wait. Seated right away on a Saturday morning and we were seated where we wanted for college football viewing purposes. Capacity was at about a third of the restaurant. Friendly staff. Everyone we encountered was nice and wanted to be helpful. We had the Sara(h)s...one was training the other and they were very kind. It is so clean inside. I felt like the staff had been well trained in front of house upkeep which was really nice. The acai bowl and seasonal pistachio iced latte had great flavors. But... Hot coffee and iced latte came out about ten minutes apart. This is a pet peeve of my husband's. He doesn't want to receive and start to enjoy his food and drinks until I receive mine. I was also raised that you don't start at the table until everyone has everything, so this was not the best start. (I know that's not how it always works out, but a couple minutes and good communication can make this a reality most of the time.) The avocado toast came out with the cream of chicken and rice soup. The soup is not a cream based soup. It's a very thin, mostly clear broth with some form of dairy added, but never would it be considered a "cream of" soup. It did not deliver and unfortunately we sent it back. The toast was a plain bagel (as the option requested), but if that bagel hit a toaster on the way out, there was no indication once it hit the plate. Room temperature without any color on it whatsoever. The avocado spread had a little seasoning so that made it a little less underwhelming. Those items arrived together which were both for my husband and when we asked about my food, we learned it was being dressed at the coffee station. Our kind server came by and told us it was almost ready two more times (it was an açaí bowl). I asked about my extra crispy bacon and was told they would check on it. The açaí bowl eventually arrived and it was well thought out and very flavorful. But no bacon and my husband was done eating by now. So I asked for containers and the bacon in a to-go container. The bacon had obviously been rushed and was undercooked with white fat clearly still visible. Our server said the manager took off the bacon and the soup, but never bothered to stop by and say anything. That was a service fail in my eyes. It wasn't really about the money. It was about what appeared to be training issues in FOH, BOH and coordination across the board. $30 plus $12 tip, we had two coffees, a small açaí bowl, avocado on a bagel (not toasted) and undercooked bacon. Not on the repeat list at this point in time. I imagine if people are honest about the areas of improvement, this business could thrive. The full bar, fun coffee drinks, biscuits that LOOK amazing, location and sweet staff could make this work. I hope they do.

    Sad to learn 1/26/25 is their last day. Not sure why it took so long to try. We enjoyed our…read morebreakfast. One of the better biscuits and gravy I've had in a while. Sister enjoyed the veggie bowl. Very friendly server and she checked on us regularly. Godspeed to everyone who works here.

No I have ate TONS of breakfast places and had only veggies heated up honestly. I can name 6 places in orland, Bolingbrook, Naperville, Joliet, romeoville, I can eat just "veggie skillet no egg, no cheese" and it taste just fine. Ordered it and after few bites did not taste fresh, in fact tasted dry? And frozen. I got almost sick IMMEDIATELY. Mind you I paid " like "$20+" for this. My stomach was so messed up, I wanted to Vomit. Also note my boyfriend ordered Cheesey Egg Omelette, and also refused to eat it after 4 bites. it's not just my meal. Maybe what we ordered was just not the freshest veggie, or egg, or cheese, or... ? I don't know what the heck happened but $47 down the drain. 3 bites each. We asked for a check and walked out. I hate to leave a bad review but atleast the $5 strawberry juice, which was you know... not really fresh or juice was just flavored water, no sugar, was decent. ALSO, my boyfriend did like the pancakes. So... just order the pancakes Service was alright. Ambiance was alright. Food, personally I wouldn't come back. Even if you paid me. My stomach hurt so bad. The place looks nice tho, and lots of options, just don't take anyone who you love there, maybe an enemy.
