Chicken and steak tacos are good and a burrito bowls fountain drinks are reasonable and they also serve beer nice place to go for a quick bite at anytime of the day

Chicagoist

he fish tacos here are the closest you're going to come to actual Baja-style without booking a trip to the West Coast. They use tilapia encrusted in tortilla and fried to tender, golden perfection. Read more

Bryce Jensen

Steak is too chewy, I get chicken tacos or the chicken burrito bowl . Both are great. The hot salsa might be the best part of this place even though my stomach tends to think different within 20 min

Willie Black

The mother clocker Barito it is full of chicken or steak whichever you prefer big enough for two people margaritas are nice to close by to enjoy a late night meal

Valeryn Ryn

Even though I ask with no mushroom . These Fire Roasted Veggie tacos are absolutely yummy!! U like spicy ?: top it off with their salsa picoso( hot!!)

Heather Folsom

The prices are slightly high considering the poor service & interior. The food was good though- esp the tilapia taco with tequila lime cream sauce . Lots of flavorful steak on the stelote burrito .

Tommy Smalls

All of the food is great! I love the elote , and you can't beat 5 dollar margaritas at all!

Nikkia J Smith

I had steak tacos , I asked for corn on one but when I ate it, it was like "corn in a cup" on a steak taco . Not bad but next time, I'll be more specific. The steak was a little chewy but I'll be back!

Scott Kleinberg

The chicken tortilla soup is really good here. Get a side of Mexican cheese for 50 cents and add some medium green salsa . Trust me.

Tia Foster

My absolute favorite Mexican restaurant in Chicago!!! Fish tacos are my favorite, but I love everything here. ????

Arlette Acosta

Tasty bowls and fish tacos . Prices seem steep but you get a decent amount of food for it. Too bad the service is AWFUL. Take it to go!

John Broccardo

Oh man! Steak fajitas burrito is the best burrito in the city ! Possibly the world. So good they will cause "Carboners".

Phillip Williams

Very good, but a burrito , quesadilla and two pops should not be 18 bucks. They are opening a new location on Chicago W of Ashland and the places charge less over there!

Genevieve Gonnigan

Grab a large margarita and Get Happy. Roasted Red Pepper Salsa is All That! I put that ish on everythang!!

Amanda Shay

Chicken tacos are the best! Fresh fried chips and bomb ass mild salsa ! Soup is spectacular! Horchata is fire!

LaToya Jackson

I always get the fire grilled steak tacos . Chips with guacamole are also highly recommended.

John Broccardo

Also great outdoor seating . Always dine there, they will bring your meal out for you.

Lily Z

Extra tequila lime sauce on the side for your burrito ! It gives it some tangy flavors when combined with the hot sauces .

Brian Goodwin

Taco and burritos are good. Check out the fish tacos for a burst of flavor.

Heather Folsom

Loved the elote . Hated looking at the filthy kitchen while my food was being cooked.

Joshua Folsom

Good food. Prices are a little steep. AMAZING horchata

Antonio Burrowes

Best burritos in town chicken is always moist never over cooked

Randy Ellis

Don't leave with out getting a slice Bang Bang's Key Lime Pie for dessert !

Janet Barker-Evans

Absolutely fabulous tequila lime marinated chicken burritos , and amazing veggie burritos with cabbage and tequila lime sauce . Hands down the best burritos in Bridgeport.

Robyn L

Their steak & fish tacos always hit the spot. Extra tequila lime sauce please!

Genevieve Gonnigan

Margaritas are surprisingly Strong...get a large...well worth it.

Dion

I swear by the premium quesadilla , chicken or steak .

Zeke Franco

Love the guacamole with the corn and flour tortilla chips .

Sue Furth

Gina Lane

Awesome food. Fish tacos are delish!

Michael T.

Some of the best burritos in Chicago!

Christopher

Great food but even when calling ahead the wait is ridiculous.

Whitney Ross

Skip the fish tacos , save room for the elote & if you must get a margarita , go for large.

Zeke Franco

One of my favorite places to order from on grubHub.

Genevieve Gonnigan

Get a side o beans...yummy and fills you up!

David Weathersby

Very good chicken tacos .

Aaron Mindeman

Steak fajita burrito ... Da Bomb!

Nikki H. ????

The tortilla encrusted tilapia tacos are excellent! Must try them.

Bert Tisch

The burrito bowls are the way to go, try it with the salsa verde

Greg Sandell

Love the ceasar salad with tilapia ! Our 5- and 15-year old love it here. We call it "Fast Taco "

JC Whitlatch

The cashier was rude. Food was only halfway acceptable. Luke warm is not one of the ways I like to describe a chicken burrito , not for $8. Paid for a TINY bit of sour cream and cheese . Not returning.

Scott McCartney

Burrito bowls are delicious!

Christopher

Love the food but the wait is not what's up.

D Britton

Best Elote Ever!

David Bolen

Mother Clucker burrito

Jeewant Kaushal

Cannot pass on that chicken burrito !

Krystal Blue

@EdmundCruz
