Rarely post reviews, but this joint compelled me to express my genuine satisfaction. While some places go so far as to charge you for chips and salsa nowadays, not only do you get a basket of chips, but you also get a bowl of pickled veggies AND a sample size of their frijoles charros.

Read moreGreat food! Great prices! This is hands down my favorite restaurant. We visit 1-2 times a week. I always get seafood, from here. The fish tacos are the best.

They sell a trio fajita plate, that has meat, chicken, and shrimp. It's served with beans, rice, and guacamole. You get a lot of food with the fajitas. My husband like the steak tacos and lengua tacos. My daughter loves the shrimp and fish tacos. I was so glad when they opened this restaurant, I used to go to the truck on Mannheim but it's so cold in the winter. This is a must try, if you're...
Read moreThis place has great food. They started us off with a sample of "Frijoles charros" I would describe as Mexican version of chili. Amazing flavor. They give you chips and salsa as well. The price is right for the portions they give you. The food quality and taste is great. These tacos are my favorite around Melrose Park and Northlake. They also have the truck at Mannheim and grand. I asked for a taco dinner. 3 tacos, rice and beans. The place looks real clean and the staff is friendly. I would really...
