Great portions for the price, tasty drinks, I would pass on the chicken & waffles, chicken was overcooked and not edible, rubbery. Did notify the waiter, he didn't offer an alternative didn't really care honestly

Great food, terrific atmosphere, friendly and welcoming... a bit noisy but not a problem (just a lot of happy people enjoying their dinners and their company). Prices are reasonable for what you get and the servers are knowledgeable, helpful, and engaging. Place has a definite neighborhood feel.

Delicious tacos and margaritas, friendly and attentive service, and reasonably priced. Only tiny drawback is that I thought the music was too loud. One of my favorite restaurants in Pilsen and I always enjoy my experience there!

It was ok. The music was so loud I could barely hear the people I was dining with or the waitress. The food was ok as well. The tlayuda appetizer came uncut and was very difficult and messy to cut on our own. The tacos and drinks were my favorite part!

Way too expensive for the value of food. Drinks were way too expensive as well. Appetizers were tasteless. Guacamole and aguachiles. $175 bill for two people. 5 drinks. Beers were 3 of them. Do not recommend. Only thing good was that our waiter and waitress were very good.

Very nice place the waitress was very nice … there was 1 man who I think might have been a supervisor I don’t know but the whole time our party was there he seemed annoyed at the amount of people we had at our “tables” that were reserved for 9 .. we can easily see he was bad mouthing us to the hostess. We didn’t stay to try any food he made the whole group feel offended
