Its a cool little neighborhood store but so much of their fruits & veggies are molded. A lot of items are too close to expiration date almost every single item are over priced. I paid$4 dollars for sunt Jemima syrup!!! The tacos and burritos are bomb!! Overall its just a go to store for junk food and good tacos. Customer service is awesome just wish the foods(fruits, veggies, bread, cake snacks, shelf juices, refrigerated milk, cheese, lettuce) were more fresher instead of being a few days almost outdated

The tripitas mixed with the carnitas are not cleaned, had a weird flavor and texture when biting into them. Please clean them prior to cooking

Ok,just went yesterday to order my food, on my lunch break and I over heard a customer telling the cook, (LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN MY TACOS) guess what it was !!!!!!!!. I asked the customer what did she find,and she said it was a Fn cockroach, thats just nasty. And I used to love the food, until yesterday, never again will I ever go there!!!!!!!!!!!. BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the best spots in the neighborhood to pick up some carnitas. They now have carnitas everyday. Small little grocery store but offers so much. From cooked meals to items you need to complete a meal. No more driving far away for some good carnitas. High recommend it. They even provide you with a sample while you wait for your order to be wrapped up. One of those hidden gems in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood.

This place has horrible customer service. Today we had placed an order before hand and made the payment. When the time came to pick up the order, they told us they had not made the order and actually had lost our order slip. They told us to come back in an hour and they would have our order ready. When we went to pick up a second time they did not have the order ready yet. They told us they won’t have the meat ready because it was not cooked yet. They gave us what they had and it was clearly not what we had order. They did not give us an explanation of what happen. Please go buy somewhere else. There are far better places to buy with better customer service.This place has horrible customer service. Today we had placed an order in advance and made the payment.

Review №76

If they take their parents to buy, make sure that they enter separately because apparently you cannot buy separately because they are family ... what is your fault? together the net .. X fault of the exaggerated people others pay the broken dishes .. I will never return to that store ..

They are very friendly and their food is very rich but the space where we sit down to eat is very small and people are passing through the same place to do their shopping and it is uncomfortable because we are moving so that people can have a good time

The taquero was very rude with my wife ... he asked for 2 roast beef tacos and he wanted to give him the meat that was left in the whole burned comal ... when we told him that we didnt want that meat he didnt care and we better cancel the order. .. we complained in the box and nobody cared about anything ... they lost our business.
