Better than average classic taco with good quality, tender chicken and pork . Griddled fresh. Al pastor especially flavorful with not too much fat and little caramelized peppers and hint of pineapple .
The al pastor is what they are known for, but the carne asada is fresh made and delicious with salsa verde too
Somehow, the divier parts of this tiny taqueria are what seem to stick out: the battered stools, the terse short-order cooks. Luckily, it takes only a few bites to forget about atmosphere. Read more
By far the best tacos that I've had in Chicago. Awesome. I recommend the carne molida tacos .
They are good, simple yummy tacos . Everyone loves the al pastor . I also like the ground beef .
Pastor and veggie burritos have me coming back over and over again. Green Salsa > Red
There's a sweet dinner special in the front window that isn't on the main menu - 2 tacos , rice , beans for $5.
If you're carrying out get the guacamole ! The chips are greasy but the guac is wonderful
