Didn't have any food here except the chips and salsa but they were very good. The margaritas had a great flavor with plenty of salt around the rim but were a bit pricey.

I live in the area and have been visiting this restaurant for a long time and always enjoy myself. On this visit, there was a 'travelling' guitar player/mexican singer that interacted with the tables. I don't typically see this at the restaurant, maybe because it was a Friday night. Fast service, very good food. The guac however was very bland... More

Coming in from the icy Chicago (in April...) it was terribly hot. We had a Steak Ranchero and a Combination Su Casa. The atmosphere was nice, the food was not so special, but good. We enjoyed our dinner but I'm not encouraged to go back again, fascinated by one particular course.

Everything we ordered was pretty good, nothing to negative to mention but the bathroom wasn't the cleanest.

Decided to go here after we tried to go to grand lux (3hr wait). Only a 15 minute wait here (should have been a hint). Orders tacos rancheros (not bad) but very bland, soggy jalapeños, no refills on salsa, plastic cups & watered down margaritas. Waitress was not very talkative but had a great memory (wrote nothing down). reasonably priced... More

Great atmosphere. Good food. Rather pricey for what it is but then we were in the center of Chicago! Nice decor inside. Very nice wait staff.

The only reason my husband and I ended up in this place was because it was the only place near our hotel without a huge waiting line on Easter Friday night (that should have been our first hint!). Everything was wrong in this place: the waitress had a bad attitude, the food was so bad that my husband and I... More

We were able to be seated right away. Typical Mexican theme. Service was good. Not too many Mexican choices in this area.

We went on a Saturday for lunch, and there was no lunch menu. Prices were about $12 a plate. The food was ok, but not great as far as mexican food goes. When you factor in the price, it was very disappointing. Drinks are very, VERY small but have a high price. We stumbled upon this place while hungry, but... More
