Food and price is good. Service is excellent! The facility is ready for some maintenance and remodel but not horrible.

They have vegetarian choices. Service was great. My order came quickly. Portions were generous. I special requested no cheese or sour cream no dairy and there was no issue. I had my service dog and she was readily accepted. Excellent experience.

The food here is always delicious. Never had a bad meal here.

Carnitas are the best here! Salsa is just the right spice level. Lime margaritas were a little too sweet to me, but I dont have a sweet tooth at all. 1010 would recommend

The food was fresh, and the quality of their steak tacos was just as good as any I experienced in Chicago. Two meals to go were almost 30 so I would suggest going on a day with a special but the price wouldnt keep me from going back. Quite surprised by this little gem in Milan

Great food, honest phone staff who helped me get what I wanted as part of a special! ...

Worth stopping in. Everything about this meal was on point. The tortillas, steak, and salsa had a very appealing flavor. The portion size will leave you full and happy.
