My favorite authentic Mexican food joint for awesome food and reasonable prices.
This place has YUMMY Authentic Mexican food at a great price. Portions are BIG. They are known for their tasty charcoal grilled chicken. EVERYTHING is reasonably priced. Their Micheladas are good too! This place can get packed during lunch and dinner hours so plan ahead. An order of Guacamole is so worth the money.
We have a menu attached to the refrigerator. They do carry out as well.

Déplacements
Take the Metra if you want to go downtown.
I highly recommend you take the Metra train downtown. You will save on DT parking and traffic jams.
The closest station is Bellwood, a 5 minute drive or a 20 minute casual walk. Below is the link with directions to the station and train schedule. It's super close.

Remember you want to go all the way to the CHICAGO OTC (Ogilvie Transportation Center) which is the final stop.
**NOTE** Metra’s offers $10 Weekend Pass, good for unlimited rides on both Saturday and Sunday. BIG savings!
