Really good restaurant. Even tho is small its quality its amazing. I had eaten here back around 2009 i think and barely came back this year even tho the pandemic and the tacos, meat and all food in general still have that good taste that I remember.. Such good flavors. Try the Al Pastor super taco. …
No name on building didnt know about it until my husband told me. I had the steak Torta and man for $6.99 that bad boy was big and delicious and full of flavor. Great value. My husband had the $8.99 Steak burrito also . Will be back. Also staff is very nice.
My FIRST time here and it was amazing. I tried the pollo, steak, & pastor tacos all of them were delicious! I added cheese on all of them with a side of sour cream. Oh and they make everything to order even the guacamole ❤️ I love this
The food here is really good authentic Mexican food. The portions are great as are the prices. One of my favorite things to get is the gordita de chicharron con chile I highly recommend it. I’ve tried several dishes and this time I had the
El Jacalito has the best Tacos in the south side!! The steak Taco is the tastiest Taco I had since I was in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The place is very small and old fashioned. You must get here early if you wanna get a table, since there
I won't lie I love their food but the wait time is horrible if you are planning to sit and eat be ready to wait the wait is longer than going to the emergency room at cook country hospital also the facilities are dirty you figure they
The restaurant is small, but there are many Great qualities that make up for that! Great food, Great Flavors! Great people! Very Family oriented….fast service! I just love this place! Their Defly in my top 5!!!❤️ …
Some of the best Mexican food in South Chicago. You have to try their Chavella/hamburger, it is a double burger, ham, lettuce, grilled onion, and sauce, that's out of this world. Will definitely satisfy a hungry appetite!
The food was amazing..I loved the small hole in the wall type theme they have going on. However, it shouldn’t take 30-40mins to cook a burrito dinner. Next time I’ll call an extra 20-30mins before I leave the house. More
Excellent food , great service and the food is homemade they prepared everything in the moment so fresh and wonderful flavors from the best cosine from Mexico and the best attention for the owner of the joint!!! More

I just payed 10.50$ for a big burrito w carne asada descent price I give this place a 3.5 Would hv been a 4 if the carne asada had better flavor. But the salsa helped. Overall good place n cheap.
Wonderful place with perfect food and atmosphere. Service is exceptional. Staff is friendly, forthcoming and extremely knowledgeable on any menu item as well as general cuisine recommendations.
This place is good, run by a mother and daughter real Mexican food looks like a hole in the wall. I dont like the green peppers in the meat. But everyone I have taken there likes it!
The lady offer me a flat grill chicken leg It was very tasty, I always get there tacos and the gentleman in the back always make me a batch of very soft but crunchy chips, yummy
I ate 3 steak tacos within the hour, I became sick! Food poison . My daughter ate 3 chicken tacos and she enjoyed her meal. The services was great! If that helps any. …
Place is not the best but food is very very good! Service was slow but maybe because it was lunch time... Will come back again for sure but at a different time.
Pollo con Mole served on Wednesdays was very tasty. It was served with rice and beans and their homemade tortillas. It was Carry out only!
Best tacos around! Don't let the appearance fool you - it's a hole in the wall, but the food is great. Homemade tortillas too
My orders have always been made well. BEWARE!! Business card says 6PM but it seems like they close earlier in the summer
This is the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Super authentic food with a fair price. I love it.
