Awesome food.

This is one of my main places to come for Mexican food near where I work. I especially like the tacos, as they are made fresh and taste like the tacos I have found in the barely-English speaking holes in the wall of Pilsen.

While the atmosphere may not be very cozy, that probably isn't why you'd be coming here. For lunch, the service is efficient and you can be in and out within 15 minutes if you ate in. If you do eat in, the waitress provides chips and salsa on the side.

They have the typical selection of Jarritos and Mexican Coke in the glass bottles. But be careful if you ask for a water at the counter, as they may think you're asking for a $2+ bottle of it.

I hope this place sticks around because I come here time and time again for the tacos and quick service.

I'm visiting from California and has been craving Mexican food. I had Chorizo and eggs and it was delicious. My husband had chilaquiles (green) and said they were delicious. We were seated immediately and the food did not take long at all.

Looks are less than desirable. My burrito on the other hand, was fairly tasty and can't complain about the free chips. It lacks the character of the other locations but it's reliable Mexican food.
