The flaming fajitas are great. Large portions. Tamales are large and reasonably priced for a dozen. Polite and efficient service. Colorful decorations and bright, cheerful atmosphere.

You know what you are walking into when going to ANY of the Mexican joints in Mexicantown. No frills just solid comfort food. Few things to keep in mind. They do not do draft. Bummer as I love Dos Equis amber on draft with a lime... They do not make pico de gallo. Odd to me but whatever. Suggestions. Order the asada tacos "carbon" comes with all the fixings guacamole onions tomatoes. The flank asada steak is some of the best I have ever tasted. Shaved pieces piled high inside the tortilla shell. Damn those were 10/10. Enchiladas with beef. Solid standby. Nothing out of this world but good. Chips and salsa were fine and complimentary.

We were in the mood for Mexican food, and there's no better place for Mexican food than Mexican Town....the neighborhood, not the restaurant of the same name. And, one good thing about going to Mexican Town (the neighborhood) is that, if one restaurant has a long wait, you can go to another one nearby that is also very good. This is how we ended up here. The atmosphere here is...well, you don't go here for the ambiance. It's a mostly open space with tables. I like the brick in certain sections, but the area is mostly utilitarian. As with other situations like this, it honestly makes zero difference to me. I'm not here to stare at the walls and look at the decorations. I'm here to eat. The eating starts early, because you get a bowl of the most awesome tortilla chips, with hot and mild salsa. These are crunchy, flawless, freshly made chips, and you will definitely want to buy some to take home with you. I got the Chilaquiles. I'm very happy to report that they have other Mexican dishes with eggs, too. The refried beans were smoky and delicious, unlike the tasteless mush you get it most places. The rice was a nice accompaniment. But, the eggs were overcooked. I still liked stuffing everything from the plate into a tortilla, and topping it with hot sauce, but it would have been better if the eggs have been better. We got fried ice cream, of course. They are different here than anywhere else I have seen before. Instead of bringing out a crunchy ball of fried goodness, they bring a ball of ice cream that they ignite. It took a long time to burn down, so we had to blow on it and roll it around a bit before we could eat it. It was delicious, but I would have liked a crunchy coating on it. The prices were reasonable, and the service was ridiculously fast. We got freshly prepared meals not long after placing the order. And, we got a gargantuan bag of those amazing chips to go. This is a great place to go if you want a large amount of tasty food in a hurry.
