Favorite chilaquiles in the city. They’re cooked together with scrambled egg. Chips absorb that salsa but are still crunchy. The carne asada is really special. Good quality meat, tender and juicy. Somehow it tastes charcoal grilled even though it’s made inside on the griddle. Burritos are bomb. Salsa verde is powerful spicy & they have a nice mild tomato red salsa with fresh cilantro that is a good counter to the hot hot green. The family that runs the business is very sweet.

Food is good. Service is awesome. The steak tacos are delicious. The super burritos are very filling and large. The chips and salsa are great. The green salsa has a good kick to it and is spicy with flavor. Everything on the menu is made fresh to order. Street parking is available for pay. I would recommend this spot.

Family owned and operated restaurant. They'll remember you here, for sure! Very friendly service, sometimes a little bit of a wait as they make it to order and can get busy! Recommendations: #1 Chile relleno tacos! Also like their daily specials, beef tacos, homemade chips and salsa, Beef Tongue / Lengua tacos Very cheap daily specials including a can of soda! You will get free chips and salsa if you dine in! Wheelchair access!! They have an indoor wheelchair elevator at the front door

This is our go-to spot after doctor and dentist appointments! The tacos are always so fresh and delicious, and the servers make everyone feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The only downside? The street meter situation. There’s no meter sign right in front, and the actual meter is about a block away. I popped in for less than three minutes to pick up my food, hazards on, I’m sure she had to see me, and still ended up with a ticket (thanks a lot, !). I really think there should be a 10-minute grace period for quick stops like this. But I digress—the food is always on point!

My friends and I stopped in for lunch and had a great time. Everyone was so friendly and the service was amazing. We got the enchiladas, super steak burrito, and milanesa torta. Food was yummy and fresh to order. Thank you!!

I recently visited See Pasada in Chicago and had an excellent experience! I ordered the carne asada burrito, and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned meat, tender, and wrapped in a fresh tortilla. The portion size was generous, and the flavors were spot-on. On top of the fantastic food, the service was exceptional. The staff member who helped me was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made me feel right at home. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for tasty, authentic Mexican food in a friendly atmosphere! I will definitely be back!
