"All very good, good food, good prices, the only bad thing is that the waiters have to pay more attention to the menu, the one who served us didn't know the starters and we ended up asking for the recommendation but it wasn't bad for it wasn't an entrance outside of that it's an excellent place worth what it costs, very nice and cozy."

"I ordered food for delivery and assumed my order was taken along with my address. After waiting for an hour and a half, I called to inquire about the delay, only to be told that no order had been placed. This is incredibly unprofessional. It's frustrating to wait so long for something that never showed up. Terrible service!"

"Passing by and decided to get something quick. The place we were originally going to go to was closed so we went here. Glad we did. My boyfriend got chicken Flautas and I got Tacos de carnitas. The Flautas are made with (we believe) corn rather than flour tacos which give it a very unique taste. It waz covered with a green sauce that had a little bit of a kick to it. The tacos de carnitas were well seasoned and topped with cheese, cilantro and onions. It was served with two"

"Disappointed with the food. The worst redfish I’ve ever tasted. The plate comes with cilantro rice and black bean. I was asked why type of beans and I said black. My plate was runny refried beans and mexican rice… Queso appetizer came before greasy chips and salsa and ended up getting cold in the wide and shallow bowl it was served in. Service was slow and restaurant was mildly busy."

"Came here for the first time in years. I was in the little shopping area next door and decided to pop in for some quick tacos. We stopped coming here years ago because the service was notoriously terrible. Food was always good but trying to get someone's attention to get more water or salsa was ridiculous. It was about 12:15, lunchtime on a Thursday. I was seated right away. I only wanted the three tacos ala carte (I hate making hard tacos at home so any chance I get, I order them at Mexican places) so I only gave 4 stars because this was one day and three tacos, BUT after this visit I'll be back. Service was good. It took a few minutes to get another bowl of salsa (I was scarfing up the chips and salsa...I hadn't eaten yet at all that day) but other than that, it was fine. But I DID get up and go to the register to pay my tab as soon as I was done, so I dont know if I would have been waiting to get my check paid. The tacos were not bad. Not outstanding by any means but the salsa jazzed them up...and the salsa...I see some complaining it was too spicy, but I loved it. My complaint is usually there is no spice at many Mexican places. I often carry my own hot sauce to step on the salsa at other places. What I really liked about the tacos is they held together for the most part. I've had tacos at several places and some, the meat is like held in water or something and so juicy the tacos shells are mushy in no time, or the shells are so delicate, you bite in to them and they just fall apart. I was probbaly in and out of here in 10 minutes paying my tab at the register and not waiting for the server/waitress. I had planned to just grab a fast food sandwich and eat on the road so I could keep moving and not lose time, but this was a great choice instead and didn't cost me too much time."

"Amazing! The restaurant is cozy with only 6 tables, so reservations are recommended. The staff is welcoming and the atmosphere is lovely. I highly recommend this place! It is located at Touhy and Ridge in Rogers Park. The prices are reasonable, with most dishes costing under $15."

"Fantastic food, quick service, and a lively atmosphere! The chips are good, accompanied by a very mild salsa. The carne asada tacos come with a delightful selection of both red and verde salsa that pack a nice heat. All the meats have been tender and incredibly flavorful. The beans and rice blend is also excellent. This is the first place I've come across in quite a while that serves avocado tacos—if you haven't tried them, they’re amazing! They’re light yet very satisfying. The margaritas are delicious, not overly citrusy, and packed with flavor. This will definitely be our go-to spot!"

"I had a fantastic experience at this Mexican restaurant that serves breakfast and dinner late into the night. The waitress, wearing a Corona jersey, worked long hours and provided excellent service. Overall, the food was quite delicious, and I particularly enjoyed trying the fish for the first time. We also indulged in churros that were served with molten chocolate, which were a real treat. The prices were very reasonable, making it easy to enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine without breaking the bank."

"Without a doubt, these are the best tortas in Chicago! I can't fully express how amazing they were. We also tried the Tripi Guac as an appetizer, and it was outstanding! The reason I gave a 3-star rating is solely based on our experience during checkout. Everything had been perfect—from the service to the food—until we reached the register. The man there, who I believe is the owner, made a remark to my male friend suggesting that he should be the one paying and not me (a woman). We initially brushed it off as a joke, but the owner continued to insist on this point. It’s unfortunate that his machismo spoiled what would have been a fantastic experience."

"The salsa that accompanied the chips was fresh and spicy—absolutely delicious! I ordered the chicken fajitas, which were fantastic: shredded chicken mixed with red bell peppers and onions, packed with flavor and spice, accompanied by ample sides of refried beans, Mexican rice, sour cream, and lettuce. My daughter chose the chicken con queso, which was equally delightful. The portion sizes were perfect for sharing. This was such a fantastic discovery; we both give it a huge thumbs up!"

"I had a great experience at this restaurant. The carne asada burrito with cheese that I ordered was delicious and generously sized. The meat had a perfect smokiness and char, and the seasoning was just right, making it very flavorful. There was a good amount of cheese mixed in with the meat, which added to the overall enjoyment of the dish. The service was also excellent. Thank you, El Chilito, for a fantastic meal."

"Will always come back.. I know for a fact from going through several restaurants they keep their kitchen clean. The food is almost always fantastic. My favorites are the vegetarian combo (with personal tweaks such as black beans The Chillies Relejnos made with the Pablanos. The Salsa Verde (green sauce is always great, as well as the brown hot, the Pico is usually above par. The Sour Cream sauce is delicious! The variety and the way they allow you to modify your meal if necessary is great. <br/ <br/ Very good food, and very polite and dedicated owner. I worked here and I still keep coming back because the food really is just too good to stay away. :"

"I am very selective when it comes to food, and this restaurant has impressed me every time. The steak here is some of the best on the northwest side, and I have ordered it for delivery multiple times. Stick to the steak burrito or tacos for a delicious meal. Avoid ordering a burger from the kids' menu at a Mexican restaurant and then giving it a poor review."

"The food at this restaurant is delicious, but I advise those with dietary restrictions to be cautious. The dishes often don't align with their descriptions on the menu, and requests for modifications may not be fulfilled. It's quite disappointing, especially since I've been a loyal customer for years, but it seems that the consistency and reliability of the food have declined lately."
