Stopped here with my family of 6 on the way home. It's not far off of 355. It was a Sunday afternoon and the place was empty. However they seem to do a lot of carry out business. Our food was good. Tacos, chicken burritos, flautas, chile relleno & elote. All were happy with their order. Fair prices. We'd go here again.

This is a hidden gem in the Lockport area for Mexican food. The restaurant is always clean and staff are very attentive. What shines is their food and drinks. The steak is always tender and actual cuts of steak. The rice and beans are fresh and seasoned well. The prices are more than fair for how well their food tastes. Drinks are also amazing! Give this place a try and you won't be disappointed.

Top notch quality. Grabbed a quick lunch with my wife and we enjoyed the taco and burrito lunch specials. She also ordered a yogurt drink which was freshly made.

Great ice cream and entrees Nice family environment We ordered and had our food very quickly Very well kept establishment Very friendly

The best Mexican food in the suburbs. Tacos are fresh and the fajitas are to die for. Horchata is homemade and some of the best I have had.

Outstanding quality food here. We ordered chips & salsa. Salsa had excellent flavor. My son had the steak tacos with Horchata and liked everything very much. I had the Mexican corn in a cup, and the steak burrito. Corn was cut off the cob, not from a can. Totally awesome. And the burrito was fantastic. Huge pieces of quality steak. Not cheap meat at all. $40.00 lunch (that's including tip) for my 12 yr old son and I. And worth every penny. Very satisfied tummy's here.

I'm here to tell you that the quality of the tacos is exceptional. I eat here once a week now. It's the only place in Lockport I'll get tacos from. Are they pricey? Yes but the quality is there! The green sauce is really good too! I have no update on the rice or beans because I don't order them anymore so this review is solely based on their tacos. Try the flour tortillas! I'm telling you you Won't be disappointed!! I was a ride or die corn tortilla girl but I'm telling you try the flour!!

This place has the best frozen Paletas. Egg nog, pistachio, mango, bubblegum just to name a few. Their smoothies are really good too. They do have a tent outside if you would like to eat there. Service is always good and the fruit is fresh!!! I plan on trying their food soon.
