What our guests are saying

Go to date spot for over 9years with my now wife! Teresa used to be our server and we miss her very much! The food and drinks never disappoint! Pacheco is amazing and extremely friendly! Always gives us the best service every time we go! Definitely prefer the old school service and not the new QR codes. Interacting with the staff is a WAAAY better experience than just ordering on our phones.

Food here is delicious and service is fast. We sat at the table with window view which was tight but comfortable. Margaritas are tasty but can only get one flavor and I'd 100% come back to try something else on the menu. We got the nacho fries with chicken and the birria beef tacos, 10/10 they had to roll me out of there.

Sarah our waitress was great!! She was prompt, checked on us and was very personable and friendly. We were here in Chicago for a bachelorette party and she made us feel at home and had a great time! The food was delicious as well as the drinks! Omg! We had just finished lunch and were about to bounce and she got us a round of shots. She is so amazing and we hope you get the chance to have her as a waiter. She was just the absolute best.
