Reviews
The Al Pastor tacos are fantastic! The food is always ready when they say it will be, fantastic service.
Do not let this place fool you by its name. This is one of my top 5 taco stops ever. At first was questionable about this place and coming from Chicago "Capital for taco's" I was told by my wife that I have to try this place and man she was right. These taco's have so much flavor. Meat has the perfect seasoning were it's not over powering the flavor of the meat. Every bite you take, the meat is so tender that it melts in your mouth and the freshness of the toppings complements the toco's very well. The only 1 thing I can say is to dini-in when you get these taco's because you can taste the difference when you get it to go. But the steak taco's are a must try and their Salas are very good. Pro: Steak Taco's Con: The Taco's is alittle to oily
I pass by frequently and checked the Yelp reviews. One thing that seemed to be consistent were the flavorful steak tacos sooooo...since I'm always in search of a good steak taco, I decided to stop. Not the best I've had, but definitely the best I've had in the south suburbs and I've tried them all. Now I'm only speaking on the taco because that's all I tried. I will definitely return for the tacos. If i spread my wings and venture out, I'll let ya know. As for the service it was very matter of fact. Not very welcoming but if you give me good food without insulting me, you can save the niceties for your dine in customers.
You won't be disappointed! I'm a huge fan of their taco salad & quesadillas Soooo good!
