Salitre Restaurant — Restaurant in Leyden Township

The reviews seem off for this location, the food was awesome and the couple running it was very sweet. My son is disabled and can only eat puréed food. It can be a little awkward to ask restaurants to blend a meal for him, and in this case we had a language barrier. Through Google translate, I was able to ask them about this (despite seeing later that I had a ton of autocorrected words when I turned the phone to show it to them) and they were beyond kind about this.

I really am not sure why this place has so many great reviews. The service is good, prices are okay but the quality of the meat isn't there. I've given this place a second chance because of the good reviews despite the quality of the food I experienced the 1st time. But it still didn't cut it. Am I crazy!? Compare these tacos with El burrito amigo on Grand in Melrose Park. If people tasted those, I'm sure they would change their reviews after tasting...
