"I also appreciate that you can take a whole bottle of salsa with you to enjoy on your burrito with every bite. Being a huge salsa fan, that's exactly what I do. Both the red and green salsas have always been fresh, and they keep them in the fridge during the day instead of on the tables. So, if it's your first time there, you might not even notice them right away. The service has consistently been outstanding. Compared to a few other Mexican restaurants I've visited, the staff speaks good English and understands everything perfectly, so I've never run into any issues. One of the best parts is how fast they prepare your order. Usually, by the time I pay, grab a salsa from the fridge, and pick up some napkins and a plastic fork, my order is ready—literally in under two minutes! Occasionally, during busy periods, you may wait around 5-6 minutes if there's someone ahead of you picking up a large order, but it's still impressively quick! And just to clarify, this speed doesn’t mean the food is undercooked; it shows that the cooks are well-prepared. Both the Wheeling and Mount Prospect locations are equally convenient for me since they’re about the same distance from my house, and I alternate between them. I genuinely can't say I prefer one over the other, as they are both fantastic. However, Wheeling recently updated its interior, giving it a fresh new look. I hope they'll do the same for the Mount Prospect location next because it could use a little refresh!"
