This is probably my favorite Mexican spot in south loop. Just walking in, I love the vibe, the staff that greeted us and the various seating selections. We started off with non alcoholic beverages. Our server was amazing and the refills were on point. They're lemonades are pretty good. But let's get into the important matter at hand. The FOOD!!!!!
For starters we had the short rib nachos, (which for one person is a meal in itself). OMG! These babies will change your life. So good, so fresh, I'm craving them as I write this. The guac, the cheese sauce at the bottom, the tenderness of the short ribs in every bite. Goodness gracious. After that I was literally using my fork to pick the remnants at the bottom of the bowl... that good.
We got the steak tacos, the shrimp & calamari tacos & chicken tacos. Save your coins on the shrimp & calamari... trust me. It was bland compared to the flavors of everything else. I was actually disappointed. It took a lot of sauce to take it down. The steak takes however, impeccable that blueberry jam is genius.
Don't take me word for it. Just go see for yourself. I'd also advise going during their happy hours, it's kinda pricey for tacos in the city. Enjoy!
First time trying this restaurant and it did not disappoint! We arrived around 4:30, a little early, but that was ok. Loved the seating and the open windows to the street. We were able to take advantage of the happy hour food and drink specials. The tacos were AMAZING! Loved the skirt steak with the blackberry morita jam. So yummy! Their guacamole is on point! Everything there felt fresh and not processed. The food came really quick! My only negative is it was a little pricey, but I would still go in a heartbeat and would recommend to friends visiting the city.
Great atmosphere. A clear love for food displayed but the kitchen staff, the chef, Daniel, even came out to speak to us and great drinks on behalf of the bar staff. Would highly recommend as the menu gives a great twist on traditional Mexican food entrees. Will definitely return for the Al Pastor tacos, Pork chops and Rice Pudding!
