the best mexican in chicago
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

11/01/2002 Posted by champjoe

Every time I go I wonder why I don't go more often. In fact, I'm going right after I write this. It is far and away the best mexican food in town. My girlfriend always gets the plantain enchiladas whereas I try to get something different every time. It is a sit down restaurant unlike most mexican restaurants in chicago and it is quite reasonable priced. Got to go, El Tapatio is minutes away.

Pros: food, food, food

Cons: slightly slow service
