Good but not great Mexican food. We had the steak fajitas with the trimmings and flour tortillas. It was certainly enough for two. It came with a cup of chicken soup but rice/beans was extra. What I did not like were the salsas. The green was watery and flavorless. The red had too much paprika and was thick. A good tomato salsa would have hit the mark.

We dropped in during a weeknight street festival so the tiny place was packed. The crowd did not phase the waitresses or food preparers. Adult beverages quickly arrived ahead of the platter of tacos. Teen had two Carne Asada Tacosâthumbs up. I had a shrimp taco, and a Tilapia tacoâboth came with their own special saucesâmuy delicioso! Husband had two tasty tacosâone vege, one chickenâthe vege was particularly good. He recommends getting three tacos due to the small portions. Drinks were above average in mixology and price. Adult cocktails advertised as hand-crafted were pricey. Lemonade was surprisingly exceptionalâcarbonated with smaller bubbles making it effervescent and thirst-quenching. Six taquitos, one red Sangria, one lime Margarita, and one lemonade came to $48 plus tip. Will we return? Chipotle is across the street and a better value. However, I can see myself popping in with a friend some afternoon for a taco and the special lemonade.

Unique and delicious! I am not ordinarily adventurous, but on my first trip, tried a taco platter with not only my usual chicken, but also grilled fish and ham & cheese (OK, I'm still not wildly adventurous). Yum on all three! The chicken was perfectly clean (no gristle or anything other than pure chicken) and tasty, the fish was way better than I had feared, and the ham and cheese was a nice change-up. The corn tortillas were not soggy, as I often get elsewhere, and it was just the right amount of food to fill me but not leave me uncomfortably stuffed. The rice and beans were even better than what I ordinarily expect from mid-range places like this. I uncharacteristically ate every bit on my plate, and I've been back three more times--tasty every time!The Chivarita margaritas were not what I expected--they were fabulous! I expected syrupy corner-stand hooch, but these were fine. Not too sweet and surprisingly strong given the mild flavor. And the salsa bar is awesome--the hottest one is entirely bearable for Midwesterners like me, and it has an intriguing and delicious earthy flavor. The mild, green one is really tasty, too.Had their fried ice cream this last time, too. Not surprisingly, yum! Welcome to Forest Park--we'll be eating there repeatedly!

Easy to miss on busy North Ave. Tiled countertop (no tables). The homemades sauces and fresh fried chips excellent, they gave samples of the special drinks, we liked the Tamarindo & Horchata. My Quesadilla had Pastor Pollo with pineapple, very tasty, Portions generous. Parking a bit tricky but side street worked well of us.

Chef Paco is great and really makes this place a destination. His moles are amazing. Tried the enchiladas with 6 different mole sauces. Spectacular. Be prepared to be charmed into dessert or other items. The entire staff is just great and so is the food.
