First time here but definitely not the last. The food here was very good as were the cocktails! The service was also very good. Everybody left satisfied and had leftovers.

I don’t know who gave this place a 1 star review because the food and service here were both good! We went in the morning around 11:30’ish. It was so quiet, only 2 other people in there. The man who took our order was nice. As well as the girl who brought us more water. The only small downside I would say is that there are no fountain drinks, only cans or bottles, and no Mexican oregano to sprinkle over your food while you eat. Guess I’ll have to ask next time I visit. I love the way they chips are, thin and crispy. And that salsa, that salsa was no punk. I was expecting it to be mild because it was light in color, nope. It was nice and spicy for my a$$. This place has a 4.4 star rating for a reason. If someone had a bad experience here, I hate that they did. This was my first time, and I love it. I was so impressed, I was even glad to leave a tip. I should be getting paid for all these reviews I have on Google at this point. But, if you have seen my other reviews, you can tell by my rating that I will be visiting here again.

These were the best birria tacos I’ve ever had! Service was also exceptional. The waiter was very friendly and accommodating. This place is sure to please.

The food here is great! If you want filling food come here I don’t know where I’ve been not finding this place sooner. Everything was flavorful and although it was a wait for food I did not mind. If you are picky or in a rush or just don’t have patience at all don’t come here. But if you are willing to wait for fresh food made on spot then come here you won’t regret it. Will definitely be coming back here more often

This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant in Waukegan… actually, in Lake County!
Great food and very friendly service.
The machete is of special note, but the taco on homemade tortillas and Birria are OUTSTANDING too! I wish I could have found them years ago, but I’ll be coming back for years to come.

We are not from Illinois. We just wanted to eat some tacos today. I decided to look on Google and because of the positive reviews we stopped there. Great customer service. The tacos that we ordered were full of meat and tender. Didn’t expect the tortilla to be so flavourful and the size was big. Great place to eat. We recommend it.

My husband and I decided to try this place out after a long day of work today. Oh man I wished we just went home and made our own tacos and food we would have been done with our food before that hour that it took us to get our food! Oh man What a disappointment! The guy was nice at the front, he had great customer service, even after our long hour wait he apologized and said thanks for our patience. Now the thing we don’t understand is all we ordered was one taco dinner with two tacos de asada (steak), one of chorizo and three extra tacos de carne asada (steak) with an Agua de Jamaica. We get home finally after such a long wait and to our surprise the rice is bad and the beans as well!! Why after such a long wait for an hour did we get rice that is bad and beans that are bad as well! I’m talking about these need to be tossed out!! They have a foul smell. The container that they placed the Agua de Jamaica in, really and you give me a straw that we can’t even put in it because the container is sealed, and No place to put a straw in. The only thing my husband and I Both agree on would be the tacos at least were good and and full of meat, that’s why I am giving it a 3 stars. We will not be going back here after that bad of an experience.

Ate here for the first time yesterday and the food and service was outstanding. Everyone I spoke with was kind and attentive. The food tasted fresh and it never made me feel heavy. We even ordered some horchata and it was heavenly. It makes me sad that I just found this place before I’m moving to another state. I will definitely be going back a few times before the move happens. Just wanted to give everyone praise and I hope your business stays successful the quality of the food makes this place stand out.

What a nice surprise this place is! Service was excellent. Chips and salsa were FRESH. Frozen strawberry margarita was a perfect blend of sweet and salty. Tostada was delicious, as well as the quesidillas. Very chill atmosphere. We’ll be back.
