Great food, great service, great prices. The chile rellano and the combo platter were delicious. The enchilada in mole sauce was the best enchilada I have ever eaten.

Sorry Atlanta, this isn't the BEST Mexican restaurant outside of Mexico, it isn't even the best in Illinois, but it probably is the best in Chicago and better than many I've eaten in in Mexico. It is a family friendly restaurant, affordable, and in a decent neighborhood, although the areas directly north and west are not. Approach from the East... more
