    I ordered a bunch of taco meat/fixins for my daughter's birthday and I got tons of compliments. Everything was as delicious as it is when sitting down and eating in the restaurant. Will definitely be ordering from them for large events in the future. The barbacoa, steak, and pork are my personal favorites, and it was so nice to have leftovers.

    Such a hidden gem in Algonquin! The Al Pastor tacos were incredible — so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The chips and homemade salsas and sauces were some of the best I’ve had, especially the smoky chipotle one. I also loved the mango margarita — fresh and light and perfect with the tajin rim. The owners were so kind and welcoming, and great food all around. Can’t wait to come back!

    Food was amazing, my husband and I both agreed we’ve never had better steak tacos. The menu is huge so there’s definitely something for everyone. I can’t wait to come back and try some of the other things on the menu.

    This place is a gem. The food is delicious, nicely presented and the portions are generous. The service is outstanding, so warm and welcoming. So many great options on the menu, this restaurant is both wonderful if you prefer a sit down meal and you want to experience excellent hospitality, or you don’t have much time and just want to grab one of the best quesadillas and enjoy it on the bench, looking at beautiful Fox River.

    I am not one for reviews. But ever since they reopened the prices are not in line with a taqueria and the food I ordered was pretty much inedible. Ordered the Milanesa it was cooked on a flat top and burnt. Breading was soggy and fell off of the meat that was questionable on eating. I ordered a margarita while I waited, not sure what the issue was but the margarita was not what one of expected. Taste was off and price was $12.
