I went today to buy some tacos and they accidentally gave my order to the person ahead of me. The person that they gave the order to left the store and discovered that is was the wrong order and came back with the order 10mins later. The young lady explain that they gave her the wrong order and she opened it up and discovered it was ground beef. They took the bag from her and try to give it to me . I told them no make my order fresh because I don’t know what the young lady did with the order. The cashier and the cook was speaking in Spanish and got an attitude with me. I felt like I wasn’t in the wrong and that they should make my order fresh because I don’t know what the young lady did with the order. I didn’t receive an apology or a refund . I just got attitude and that’s not how you treat your customers.

Small little place with a few tables with amazing food!! Made-to-order guacamole is better than anywhere else in the area. Pastor tacos are a must have! The taco salad is enough for 2 meals! Will definitely return and recommend to anyone!!

Small place but we really enjoyed being able to sit in front of the kitchen. More of an option in Chicago so big thumbs up there. Steak tacos we're on point. Not dried. Hints of lime and definitely juicy but......... the chorizo tacos stood out over all. Bursting with flavor and cooked perfectly. My wife stated they made her feel like she was back in Mexico. Both tacos were a stand-out at this restaurant. Bottle sauce seemed roasted and gave a nice back to all the tacos we ordered. Highly recommend the Chorizo or Carne Asada for any dish you chose from this dive but dime in Hammond. Al Pastor, and Tripe are solid choices as well. The pork was tender and the tripe was cooked on the plancha until it had the perfect crisp. After posting this saw more reviews aside from my wifes in person but stating "reminds me of Mexico" Update: Finally had a chance to go back got the Rey Taco and the Chorizo. Both tacos were perfect. Wish there was a little more Carne and a little less nopale but thats personal preference. Had a itch for the nachos but didn't want everything. Couldn't of been happier.

They are extremely racist and rude. I think it's very sad what the restaurant has become its been there since I was a baby I have been down the street from there my entire 44 years of life and the new owners are absolutely terrible
