I hate Taco Bell but it’s seriously better than this place that has no flavor ! I had to drown my meal in hot sauce just to be able to eat it! Definitely by far some of the worst Mexican food I’ve had ! If you like bland Mexican food and really really chewy steak with bad taco shells than look no further ! Spent 60$ for 3 people for nobody to enjoy the food ! ORDER SOPHIA’S REASTURANT down the street it blows this place out of the water…

Always good food. The only horchata I drink. They're hurting for staff, like the rest of Island Lake, but always smiling faces. And you might want to make reservations on the weekends around dinner time. It's so great to see everybody enjoying themselves again 😊

Honestly it was nice here, the food was good and the service was good for how many people there was, we got our food like an hour later. It was cold but good for what it was there was like no rice I guess so instead they gave us fries. But we sat outside and it was nice :)

This restaurant was packed which should tell you how good the food is. Our order took a little bit longer because of patrons visiting the establishment, but was well worth the wait. Salsa and chips are served when you are seated and if you finish them you can get more.The margaritas are very well made and taste great. They also have a good variety of Mexican beers that you can enjoy with your meal. The food was served hot and very delicious. Pricing is average for Mexican restaurants.

So glad this place is in our delivery range! They have the best tacos and best rice around. The house chicken with the Coke marinade is super delicious, too. This is quickly becoming a regular stop.

Food is delicious, authentic at a reasonable price. They offer all the main mexican dishes. This was my second time there, and look forward to their outdoor patio in the summer.

I can't even begin. This is the "holy grail" of Mexican food. Everything is outstanding. They are busy for a reason. This place is AMAZING!

We came here hoping for fajitas. After walking in and sitting down, the waitress took our drink orders. I got a horchata and my boyfriend got a coke. The horchata tasted a bit artificial, as if it was made from a drink mix and not homemade. Then we tried ordering chicken fajitas with a side of cheese dip (queso) , but they told us they don’t have that. What kind of Mexican place doesn’t have melted cheese dip. we were hungry so we reluctantly said it was fine. She then brought out the chips and salsa. Took one bite of the hard, gross chip and got up to cancel our order, pay for our drinks, and leave. Very disappointed.
