Modeled after Mexican street food you can get at metro stations in Mexico City ... With Chicago loop prices. Think big star taco but more bold flavors.
The pork belly taco was great, as was the mole taco . My wife had the tostada and the fish taco . The tostada was alright but the fish taco was actually pretty good
Chicken tacos are amazing. Fish tacos are eh. The esquites is also pretty great, just not terribly exciting.
Sorry to say after a much anticipated opening this will just not do. Fish taco was good.Flautas were not fresh,Pork was boring.Chicken mole and chicken tomatillo were equally uninspiring. No big star
mole and chicken tacos are awesome.
Omg!!! The tilapia taco is out of this world! Try it with the verde salsa. - Jessica Davis
New taco place in town! Great nachos with guacamole, beef and vegetarian tacos are great! Nice! - Adley
One of the best taco places in the city. Awesome daily changing empanada selection. Al Pastor and Skort Steak tacos are killer - Ramsen
Goat cheese cashew caramel is unbelievable! Totally different than any gelato I've had before. Must try! - Rachel Graham
The grill near the main entrance will cook any meat you purchase in the store. The cheddar pub burger and salmon steaks were delicious, and the gelato station next to it is a great addition! - Alison
