Wonderful food, great service! We travel to Mexico annually and this is one of the best Mexican restaurants in the US that we have tried outside of New Mexico!

Nice little place in Bucktown. Zero pretention, no frills, super relaxed and friendly. Appetizers were great - as a Buffalonian, I was hesitant to order their wings. But much to my surprise, this Chicago establishment has one heck of a tasty wing sauce! Traditional Mexican fare was terrific, especially the items with chorizo. The Wednesday night jazz ensemble was terrific, wonderful atmosphere.
