- RPRobert PennerDec 26, 20251.0The food is gross to be quite honest. Flavorless, watery tacos, small portions for the price being paid. Service was fine but a little bit nonchalant. Couldn't get somebody to bring the check even after asking twice. Strange smell in the restaurant made the dining experience unappetizing and strange. There are so many better taco places on the South side than this slop. The owners also have engaged in anti-worker, anti-union practices which pretty much seals the deal for me as a place I won't be going again and would recommend others avoid as well.
- LWLouis WeisbergNov 15, 20251.0This used to be a decent place, but I had lunch there on a Saturday several weeks ago and the food was about so bad it was a joke. My two vegan tacos amounted to a teaspoon of soggy black beans and corn that tasted like they came from a can. For $8. Somone else at the table had "fish" tacos that consisted of a few cold, hard, small nuggets of fried fish on damp tacos. At least the chips were good. Maybe they were having a bad day. I don't know why everybody thinks this place is cheap. I was shocked at the bill.
- MTMatt TownsOct 28, 20255.0Fantastic food both times I've been here. Got several different kinds of tacos, all delicious. Good service and atmosphere.
- NNNatalieOct 28, 20255.0Please bring back the birria rolls!!!! They were the best thing on the menu.
- HVHanna VivianiOct 26, 20255.0I’m so so so sad they got rid of the birria rolls they were amazing
