I came here based on yelp reviews and the location near O'Hare airport. We got a shredded chicken quesadilla and shrimp and grilled chicken burrito. The complimentary chips and salsa were okay though the salsa was quite watery. The quesadilla was outstanding with a slightly grilled and smoky flavor that was wonderful. The burrito was good but no better than Chipotle. The dining room is basic, more like an elementary school cafeteria. Portions were reasonable and prices no bargain.

Stopped in for dinner after heading north from ohare. This place was a pleasant surprise as it was great food and very clean. Service was excellent and pretty fast. Loved the guacamole and the quesadillas. Really good. Not much to look at from the outside but a gem inside. Give this place a try you will not be disappointed.

Got the shrimp quesadillas that comes salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. Decent portion, authentic flavor. I ordered to go and the lady on the phone was pleasant, and pick up is quick and easy. Great for grab and go or dining in. I was in the e neighborhood for a work meeting and it's a nice and quick lunch for sure.

A hole in a wall kind of place. They have a full menu. With lot of options. We all had veggie burritos and nachos. Burrito was huge. My wife didn't even finish her burrito, it was that huge. We went right before closing, the place remained open even after closing which was nice. Service was quick. And our server was helpful with lot of patience. We took our own time with 2 kids. So thank you. Will visit again.

Came her for lunch and parking was scarce which has nothing to do with the restaurant itself. Got seated with menus and glasses of water. The lady that took care of us was great. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is one of the tortillas tasted like cleaning chemicals otherwise I would have given a 5 star. I will most definitely revisit.

Tacos are good comfort food that is usually and it doesn't cost you an arm & a leg, but taco joints are a dime a dozen ranging from excellent to meh. My wife and I were looking for something fast and we happened to be in the vicinity of Mariachi's Tacos. We decided to eat in as is our preferred method as you get To eat your food hot right away instead of carrying it home. The owner/server brought us hot crispy tortilla chips w/an excellent salsa (5 stars). The salsa was puréed tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro & jalapeño (excellent flavor w/a touch of heat). The tacos were pretty good. I got 3 taco dinner w/2 steak & 1 shrimp taco along w/very good rice and beans. My wife ordered the 3 al pastor dinner w/beans & rice. I think the al pastor tacos were actually better than the steak tacos. Better than average tacos. I really enjoyed the seasoning on the rice(maybe I was just hungry) but the star of the show was the salsa
