No frills taqueria run by an older couple. No indoor seating, just some outdoor tables and cash only. We ordered the enchilada plate and an al pastor taco...I only had $20 on me haha. Both were delicious. The al pastor was moist and packed with flavor. I did think for $20 I could have gotten more value, but the taste did make up for it. Ofc AFTER I ordered I realized there was a combo value menu on another wall which I didn't notice initially. Def would return! The rice and beans were amazing too.

Best Mexican food I've had in Chicago, hands down. We literally watched as they made everything in front of us fresh, including cutting the vegetables. Thank you for an amazing meal.

On a sunny May afternoon, my tum needed some yum. One block away lay this gemstone. Upon entering and seeing some inviting yellow wallpaper and muted television, I found an inner peace and certain trust in the lovely ladies behind the counter. "Make me what you'd make someone who's only here once" Al Pastor Burrito, with all the fixings. If this meal came to pickup your daughter for Prom, you'd be speechless. He's the talk of town, a future First-Rounder with a dazzling face to match. That shell was soft, warm and flaky! I'm trying to think of a way to properly represent the pork. Let's just say it's a collab from D'Angelo and Rihanna in their primes. Talk matching the walk and much more. Trust your good friend here and go score some hearty, homey cuisine.
