La Justicia Restaurant — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

I recently reviewed a place where the price:satisfaction ratio was severely lacking. Thank goodness for places like La Justicia to remind you that places exist where you will get what you pay for and so much more. Just WOW, this place is all sorts of awesome.

The interior decor is stunning and perfectly matches the surrounding neighborhoods of Little Village and Pilsen. Bold, bright and all around beautiful.

Even more beautiful? The outstanding food and lovely service. I'm not from Mexico but this place would seem to be as authentic as you would find on those streets.

Before you even order you are served ice water w lime wedge, cup of soup and chips + 2 homemade salsas by some of the sweetest servers ever.

The masa from the sope was honestly perfection. Texture and taste beyond 5/5. The pastor was excellent and had seasonings that you would expect from chorizo, all good. Steak tacos replicating the perfection of the Sope. Bold char grilled steak flavor with all that crispy goodness ...fresh onion and cilantro simple garnish. More 5/5.

A substantial frozen Strawberry Margarita. Delightful. Even more delightful? The $4 price tag!

ALL of the above was $10. Are you kidding me!?

Had the "fajitas chillonas justicia" ... $18+. The food was burned, typically fajitas come with tortillas, not here. Asked our wait staff to please connect the jukebox to the web so we can play music. They went to the "manager" the answer was they didnt know how to. The "manager" sat at the register literally doing nothing and when it started getting busy he suddenly disappeared. This restaurant has a management and training problem. Our waitress did not know the answer to 3/4 of our questions, and didnt even attempt to get the answers. She literally stood there with a confused look on her face and said she didnt know. This restaurant needs a real Manager, maybe the food quality and service...

We came to this place because the original restaurant across the street was full no seating. This place was not very busy, so we came in and got seated right away. I was pleasantly surprised by the chips and salsa. The salsa was really good and spicy and also got a cup of soup, which was delicious too. Good menu options. I got the enchiladas, and they were pretty good. My husband got 2 Gorditas and my mother got the same they liked them. We got 2 quesadilla meals for kids and a torta. Good portions for kids meals they come with small drink rice and beans. Beware that if you have a group of 4 or more gratuity is included...
