Very good. Was up there working on a job, & found this place on Unilocal.Very good flavor, & everything was made to order. The accept cash only, so make sure you swing by the AM first.

Decent tacos, good prices and plenty of seating. Service was super friendly and tacos made to order came out quick. Plenty of parking in large lot of strip mall.

Came for the carnitas, and was not disappointed. Highly recommend the $ 12 take-out special, which will easily feed 2 – 3 with a pound of carnitas, a dozen corn tortillas, onion, cilantro, and your choice of sauce on the side(my wife and I have leftovers.)

yeah I went there, after I asked the person who answered the phone if they took credit cards. I asked in English and Spanish. she said yes. or si. I get there to pick up my burrito and there are 2 huge signs that say cash only. I was going to ask to make sure, but the signs were big. hope it tasted good.

So I had a SERIOUS taste for carnitas and real Mexican food. This place popped up on Unilocal and I have to say this place is THEBEST Mexican food in Lake County… Easily! Fresh food, meat and chicharrones everyday! If I could give ten stars I would!

Very yummy carnitas tacos. Better than average tacos. Not a beautiful place but the food is good.

Found this place by accident one day with my boyfriend and has been our favorite taco place since. The restaurant itself is very nice and vibrantly colored just wish the location wasn’t so hidden. The staff is really polite and there’s a good amount of seating. It’s great to have a place that sells carnitas all week instead of only the weekends! We are always happy with our orders and couldn’t recommend this place enough! I recommend the carnitas tacos! It’s perfect!

Update: I had them cater a party, and everything was spot on. The guests were blown away and wanted to know where I got the meat. Speaks for itself. Legit! And clean! Friendly staff. I like going on the weekends, they have a carnita roast. I usually end up getting a pound or 2 — of just the meat — usually lasts me til Wednesday. They have carnitas during the week too but it’s a $ 1 more per pound — still a good deal. Good drink selection including Horchata and Rosa Jamaica

Tried this on a Sunday afternoon. Got the carnitas torta and al pastor taco. They were both good with good flavor. The torta could’ve been better(don’t know if avocados or guacs are optional but personally, that’s what I would’ve liked to add). The place seems great and will definitely try again to check out the rest of the menu. The only knock is that it’s cash only because I was not ready and with whatever cash I had, these two items were all I could spare. ;)

A great spot to get carnitas in the north suburbs. Their meat is well seasoned and the salsa is delicious. Make sure you bring cash. They have tables to eat in or you can carry out. Burritos are smaller than other places but their other options make up for it.

This place has the best carnitas in Lake county. Their salsa is amazing as well. Plus you can’t beat the prices. They do only accept cash but its well worth stopping at the ATM on the way!

The carnitas burritos are outstanding. Great blend of pork, beans, cheese and lettuce. I haven’t even ventured to any other items on the menu because this is so good. I would only recommend for takeout since there is very limited seating. Prices are very good for what you get.

Carnitas and al pastor tacos not bad would eat them here again but thats all I would get. My bf got a steak burrito it was tiny and the«steak» was questionable… Nice guys tho.

I had a chicken torta. It was pretty tasteless and they are really sparse with the toppings. I bit into a piece and there were some sort of rocks in there that almost broke a tooth. Never again! Oh, and it’s cash only which is kind of annoying in this day and age.

I listened to Unilocal and went for Mexican last week and I have not stopped dreaming about the flavors. I can’t wait to go back! I had chicken tacos($ 2 each), my friend had the steak. So amazing and authentic! Its just a little hole in the wall surprise. I saw some others buy piles of carnita that smelled so wonderful.

Stopped in here after I picked up my car from a $ 700 plus service. For $ 6 a carnitas burrito eased the pain. Very nice balance of beans, meat and rice. Not 80% rice like some big chains. Beware the red sauce is very spicy, I liked it but some won’t. Very limited English.

When I first walked in, I was alitte confused about dishes they serve but nice gentlemen behind the counter was very nice to explain the different dishes since I dont speak spanish. Their chicken burrito and steak burrito was excellent and also enjoyed their soft tacos with corn totilla. It is not a fancy looking but defenitely satisfy your craving.

To Mundelein residents. you guys have a little gem of a joint tucked away in a strip mall up there. I live and work in the city, and love Mexican food. I eat it all the time at several fav places on the north side. My work took me up to Mundelein for a day and I saw this place while leaving so I thought I’d have dinner before the drive home. Hands down the best steak gordita I think I have EVER had. The meat was so flavorful and the gordita shell was super crispy and fresh. The steak tacos tasted just like the ones I’d eat at small ma and pa restaurants in Mexico. Absolutely killer flavor. The 2 guys behind the counter couldn’t have been nicer. $ 2.50 per taco. Five buck average sized burritos.

Wow! This place is awesome! Swung by on a whim when I saw it as I was driving back to Chicago from a work project yesterday. Food was delicious and inexpensive, and the service was great. Seems like a real hole in the wall but they’ve got their stuff together. Can’t say anything bad about this place. Try the steak tacos! OMG that steak was insanely good. It was smokey and crispy and tender at the same time. Amazing! And the pork gordita was crazy good too! Crispy on outside and hot and steamy on the inside! Not sure how they perfected that so well but they did, and you should try it. Restaurant is very casual. Just stroll in whenever. You can get in and out in 20 min if you needed to. I was there for 30 – 40 min and took my time. Easy and clean atmosphere. Staff was extremely nice.
