I can’t begin to say the amount of times I have passed by this restaurant and finally decided to stop by and let me tell you if going in two days in a row doesn’t say anything not sure what will. On my first visit I got the opportunity to meet the chef of the house Jose Luis during my visit on Thursday we ordered a dragon fruit drink called La Colorada and an appetizer two quesabirria tacos let me tell you it was the best two quesabirria tacos I have tasted in a while . The amount of meat and cheese and the broth. We’re rich in flavor presentation was phenomenal. On my second visit we ordered ceviche as an appetizer. Very flavorful citrusy. I can say I could probably eat this as my entrée. But went ahead and ordered De Tocho Morocho Parrillada for two. The moment we ate the second appetizer we told our selves that this restaurant really knew how to deliver delicious food. Unfortunately we couldn’t finished given we had an appetizer. But they are very well known for their drinks. This time I had the Coco Loco delicious and a Michelada because why not. But what stood out the most of my two visits was the hospitality and amazing customer service what they advertise on their website, wanting to create an environment where they all feel like Family let me tell you they make you feel part of their family. They are all very attentive, respectful, but most of all you can see the passion they have to serve their customers this time our server was Bruno and unfortunately there was another employee which I did not get his name and once I do, I will update my review, but thus far, looking forward to returning to many more visits. Loved the music. But once again Thank you to the No manches Staff because “ No manches you really left me speechless”

This has to be one of the worst Mexican restaurants I have been to and, perhaps, just overall one of the worst restaurants in general. We arrived, and the music is blasting like crazy, it acts as a nightclub at 5:30 pm. If you want something quiet, this place is not for you. It is obnoxiously loud. It is like going inside a frat house to try to order food. When we were seated, so much trash on the ground. No one cleaned it. Let's move on, to some of the worst services I have ever received. It took our multiple waiters forever to get back to us, he spilled my friend's drink on her plate, and the overall place looks like a mess. No consistency. Let's move on to the food, I would say if I could I would love my $24 bucks back. This is not authentic Mexican food, quite sad and the disappointing. Reading from their bio and friend recommendation, this is not A place to go out of your way to eat at. But might be better off going to Walmart in the frozen aisle and buying Delimex Taquitos - faster results, better service, and for sure better taste. The food is wildly salty, I mean, it was terrible. My coworker said this place was good and saw some good reviews but when was that? I would never recommend going to this location if you want good food. Chips - extremely salty, salsas are tasteless, and the meal, itself, was just disgusting. I barely ate my entree, but I took it home but threw it out. I am very surprised people go here. Highly recommend not going.

Located just north of 72 and Huntley rd off of route 31 in a small strip mall. It is a small place, dark decor with neon colors inside. The music is going and the lights low. Tequila decor and bar to the right with many cubby areas to seat comfortable and out of the way. It is well know for its margarita specials but the food is pretty good. We were greeted right away and sat promptly, followed by drinks, chips and salsa. 3 complementary sauces, tomatoes is very flavorful and no spice to it. My favorite, 2nd is a tomatillo base with mild spicy sauce and the 3rd has a nice chipotle spice and a warning if you are not into the spicy. The chips were refilled as we enjoyed the sauce. Taste or very flavorful mole but with a bite after. The meats are tender and cooked 3/4 to well. The place comes with rice, beans and small fresh vegetables lettuce tomatoes and pico. Tacos are really good, we tasted a dile pickle red onion on top of chicken on a thick tortilla that was great and worth going for. The drinks are very good, so many flavors and options. I still have to try the dragon fruit margarita, or margaritas. Definitely a place with a few visits.

If the food wasn't good I probably would have put two stars. I ordered 6 tacos here about a week ago for me and my son to try because I've wanted to try this place out. We got 2 steak, 2 Carnitas, and 2 Pastor. He only wanted cilantro on them but I wanted everything his were ok but mine were made completely wrong because on one I'd want to know tomato and they put only tomato the rest were made just like my sons but after calling them they offered to replace or refund them so I chose to replace them for another day to actually try them out how they're supposed to be made. They were very nice about the whole situation which is a big plus and instead of just getting the tacos I also got an order of rice and a horchata. I wouldn't say they're worth the price because the horchata for that price I was picturing a large foam cup but what I got was less than half of that for $3.99 the rice is also very small for $3.50. Not sure if I'll try this place out again it didn't seem like a lot of food for the price but I'm not speaking about the tacos, maybe I'll give it one more shot in order something different besides tacos.

❤️🔥Blink, and you'll miss it. Don't miss it! If you like Mexican food/drinks, this will make you very happy. Our waitress was awesome (Zusette) and walked me through their drink menu. I don't like commercial mixers and prefer real juices. No problem, just get their 'Skinny' Margarita. (Not on the menu) Frankly, usually I balk at ANY drink with the word 'skinny' in it. But I was assured it was a fresh lime juice base and not a commercial mixer. The spicy one (w/ jalapeños) was fantastic... Their basic tequilas are 100% agave, so no well-drink-1/2 grain-alcohol headaches. Thus reasurred that they made a good drink, I wanted to take a risk and try one of their Mescalitas (I have been sorely disappointed with Chicagolands mescalita offerings thus far) Zusette suggests the 'Ay Caramba'. It was EXCELLENT! Food-wise, Taco Tuesday was the way to go. Experiment with various choices, and you'll be happy and zero in on your last-bite favorite. Pastor, Cochinita Pibil, Cameron, Asada, Al Chili (Relleno), Tinga, Que Onda... just typing this makes me wanna go back... Just go.

- Very delicious authentic Mexican food! - The sense of humor in this place is second to none. I’m looking at you: menu. Bring your parents! Haha. No manches 🤪 - Favorites: the mole with chicken, carne asada tacos, cochinita was like my mother’s, shrimp fajitas, and the coco loco was a super nice adult drink. - Fresh vibes inside with all the colorful art and live music (Sunday). - Extremely caring staff and chef 🫶🏼 They handled our party of 9 swiftly! - Wait time can be 20-30 on a busy day but I can see it being less during less peak hours. - They celebrate birthdays so nicely! With a loud bang and a tequila shot. So cool to witness! - There is a decent sized bar if you’re looking to watch games and enjoy a beer. - Booth seating was super comfortable. - Parking was hectic but we found plenty of parking on the side closer to the back lined up by the Forrest. Don’t park if there’s a sign telling you not to. 🤌🏼 You will get towed lol. - All in all we had a wonderful time. Will come again!
