    The only reason I downloaded yelp. Best burrito I've ever had and the best pastor (flaky and fell apart) I've ever had

    We were the only ones on a Saturday. The inside is cute and clean. The burritos have a good list of…read morecombinations. I ordered the Florida burrito. It comes with fries inside, but I has them put them on the side. The steak and shrimp were good. However, barely any steak or shrimp inside the burrito. I did like the crisp on the outside. My hubby said same about his steak fajitas...very little meat but tasty. A huge issue is the chips and salsa are NOT complimentary. $51 plus tip for 2 people.

    Located in a small strip mall. This is actually a very good Mexican restaurant with great value for…read moreyour money. I noticed that every meal you get, you have very generous portions. The cost of the food is more than reasonable. The menu is extensive and they have specials. Ample seating. Bathrooms are clean. Service was okay, it could be better and more attentive. We got the taco salad, signature tonto burrito (with shrimp added), sonora dog (you can't get this at most Mexican places in Illinois), horchatas, and agua de Jamaica. Those drinks are like $4 something but you get them in huge mason jars. Both drinks were delicious. Overall, it's a 4.5 but I'll round it to a 5 for the excellent value. You'll definitely have leftovers to take home. -taco salad 5 - a little oily but very good shell. Probably one of the better taco salads I have tasted. -signature tonto burrito 4.5 - a little salty on the meat but if you add some of that avocado sauce it tastes amazing. Tons of meat in here. -sonora dog 5 -bacon wrapped hot dog with everything on it. You get some heat from the jalapeños, creaminess from the avocados, and mild sweetness from the diced tomatoes.
