Came here for lunch and my boyfriend love chicken cook on top of the fire. I remember we drove pass by here a while ago, decided to give this a try. The server told us today (Tuesday and Thursday) they have a buy one get a half for free. Now this is a great deal. We got rice and bean for the sides and drinks. I would say the chicken look dry but actually have flavor. My boyfriend said needs more flavor to the chicken but I'm ok. We have so many leftover. Street parking. Accept card.
Amazing food and service!! Looking for authentic Mexican food and stumbled across this place. Can't wait to come back!!
Placed a last-minute order for a group of 20 people. Not only were they able to accommodate my request, but they also delivered on time, the rice, beans and chicken were delicious and everyone was pleased. Would definitely recommend to others and order again in the future.
I bought a quarter chicken dinner. It comes with rice beans and tortillas. Big portions. Good food
The food here is very good. My brother is very picky on what Mexican food he likes and he loved it here. Food is also very filling and the price is really good for what you get.
Absolutely love this place!! The chicken is amazing! It's hard to find a good, authentic Mexican restaurant. Look no further, one has been found!!!
Been back a few times now. Bumping it up a star. The seasoned chicken is good. I'm still a fan of the mashed potatoes. Servers are nice and friendly, but sometimes a little inattentive once you get your food. Will have to stop in on a Tuesday or Wednesday with the free half chicken deal when you buy a whole chicken. I'm just not sure why they serve drinks and water in styrofoam cups when dining in. Bad for environment.
BEST, I mean BEST chicken anywhere! Marinaded in a yellow-orange color, flattened into something that resembles the Cingular logo, and roasted on a gas grill to perfection. Out of the way for me normally since I'm in the NW burbs, but if I'm in the Midway area, I'd definitely stop here for dinner. For the price of a combo with chicken, rice and beans, you can't beat their deal at any chicken chain in Chicago. And you definitely can't beat the flavor. I asked Noe, the owner, what goes into his marinade and it's a secret, maybe as old as the Aztec culture. The interior is very clean and nicely decorated, without being excessive. The art on the walls is interesting too.
