Casual Dining just the way I like it
By mamagill from Logan Square, March 29, 2008

Overall rating:
5

I went with a large group of friends. The service was friendly and responsive, and had a great "neighborhood" feel. Our water and chip/salsa bowls were always full. The margaritas were delicious, and priced appropriately. The food came out quickly, hot and fresh, and tasted like authentic tex/mex. If you're in the mood for a casual, low key meal, this is a great place. I will be back.

Was Not Impressed

I heard great things about this restaurant and decided to try it one night. Both myself and my guest were very disappointed with our meals. I would not recommend. There are much better places in the area.

Great Margaritas, great chips. Although I enjoyed the burrito, I felt the steak was chopped so fine I didnt know it was there. I would go back to try something else, though.

Great stuff, very attentive staff, and they had a flemenco dancer there the last time I was there.

$3 margaritas are always a great hit.

Kid friendly, everybody friendly.

Good for carryout for a pregnant wife as well.

Have lived in Chicago two...

Have lived in Chicago two years. Mexican was the one cuisine where we had yet to find anything spectacular. Until we went here, that is. PHENOMENAL. Chips/Salsa were great. Good sign. You can often times tell how good a place is by the chips and salsa. Margaritas are great, crowd is cool, and it's cheap as can be. I'm gonna go cliche here and call it a true 'gem'.

We went for the fish tacos. The food overall was good, nice portions, but kind of bland. My husband commented that in a Mexican restaurant, great salsa is what will truly bring him back. These were flavorful but not excellent.
We had a new waitress that made a couple of mistakes... however the pineapple water was excellent and I would stop by just for that. It is worth a try if you are in the area... the margaritas are supposed to be excellent.
