"I wanted to love Hay Chihuahua. First time going.. Wanted some authentic queso birrias.Sat at outside table on a Friday night at about 6 pm. Service was good off the bat, friendly staff. Wasn't very busy inside or out, looked like carry out business was doing well. The good; horchata was yummy, chips were great, fried fresh in house it seemed. The standard rojo and verde sauces were also good.The bad; Quesobirrias were just ok, pretty soggy and falling apart, and small tacos and order size or 14 bucks, I would not order these again here. Burrito salad was again ok, not great, my guest would not order it again. Here's where the big problem came in, I ordered a to go order for 2 folks that couldn't come to dinner with us. Another order of queso birrias and a steak and chicken taco ala carte. I stressed VERY much that these tacos need to be on corn tortillas and no cheese or any dairy, onions and cilantro ONLY. My friend has strict dietary restrictions, I was told no problem at all.Got home, one taco was on a flour tortilla and both had cheese. My friend now had no dinner.My friend at home was even less impressed with the quesobirrias, she was like is this it? 3 small tacos without much flavor and the consume was a 5 out of 10.Overall, not a bad Mexican place but just nothing special IMO, I will keep searching for the best quesoberrias in the NW suburbs.Preferably crispy and flavorful, with sides. Any recommendations from other yelpers are highly appreciated!"

"Do not judge a book by it 's cover because this book 's cover is questionable. My family was a little worried when I suggested we stop here on our way back to Breck. The exterior does not scream stop here and eat! but just keep walking in. Trust me. We walked in just at the start of a rush. Who would 've guessed that on a Wednesday night there would be a mad rush for tamales, but that apparently was the case. No one actually verbally acknowledged us, and it did make us feel a bit nervous about being in the middle of nowhere. Eventually we were given menus, and the waitress apologized for needing some time to get to us. When she did get to us she was patient with some of our indecision and questions. We weren 't starving, otherwise we would 've gotten cranky. The food arrived hot and delicious. The tamales were delicious. A previous review called them massive but they were of average size but above average taste. The bison tamale smothered in red chili was my favorite, and my husband ordered a bison burrito smothered in red chili, also delicious. The only disappointment was learning they did not have any frozen tamales available for us to take with, and the wait for cold tamales would 've been too long since they were making them to-order and the place was full by the time we were ready to call it a night. I suppose if we had not been so tired from rafting and zip lining earlier in the day we would 've considered bowling because what says Mexican food like bowling before or after dinner!"
