“ I had birria tacos and it was THEE BEST BIRRIA tacos I've ever had! The only issue was the language barrier, which botched the service from the waitress. Most things we asked for she just said "No" and when we asked for cokes all around, she brought us diet cokes. Regardless, I will go back here. I will not fault people for language barriers, but in fact become a regular and work through the barrier. The manager or owner seems like he was the only one that spoke perfect English and thanked us in the end for coming. To be fair, I am giving a 4 star review due to the barrier. It's still a great place to eat and I will travel back there anytime I want. ”

“ I have been going to this restaurant for many many years. I no longer live in Illinois, but every time I am on my way back to Midway Airport, I stop here. I always bring 4 Gorditas home. Only three of them actually make it. I stopped in here last night and it's just as good as it ever was. This is actually the one thing I look forward to every six months. I hope they're around for a long long time!!! PS, we loved the Horchata here. I'm so mad I forgot to get some yesterday!!! OK, second edit after reading some other peoples reviews. When I say I've been coming here a long time I think it's been about 20 years. I get the peppers and cheese Gorditas. And I asked for beans to be put in there. When I picked them up yesterday, I was telling the young man that I was bringing them on the plane. And he said why didn't I tell him that, he would've wrapped them updifferent differently. I thought that was so sweet. To me it doesn't matter how they wrap them up, I eat one before the plane leaves, and the other three make it home and they are fine. I just thought it was super nice that he would've went out of his way had he known I was bringing them on a plane. I usually bring them to work the next day and eat them in front of everyone and make them jealous. I don't know how anyone can complain about this place. When I order on the phone, they always put somebody who speaks English on the line so I don't think that's a problem either. I could actually probably order in Spanish but I'm kind of nervous testing out my abilities when it comes to food.. ”

“ My partner was the one that recommendated this restaurant. It has been a childhood favorite for my partner and it's a no frills type of place. However I enjoyed the atmosphere and will definitely be returning. As I'm writing this review this is my second time coming here. The first time I went here I got a torta de Al pastor. Which i would always order. But this time around we picked up my partner's mom from the airport and she requested to go here for the gorditas. I got 3 two carne asada and one Al pastor 10/10 would come again ”

“ A Chicago staple for the last 40 years it seems! Get my favorite Rajas con queso, and frijoles con queso for a vegetarian option. ”

“ One of my favorite spots to eat in Cicero! Authentic Mexican food, fresh squeezed juices. I recommend the Doña Cuca Gordita and fresh OJ. Cash only. No split checks. ”

“ First time coming here and man was I in for some good gorditas like really good this is spot for gorditas very fresh an authentic I highly recommend coming in I would always drive by and man was I missing out to be honest wish I knew about this place sooner so if you looking for authentic gorditas stop by here will not be disappointed ”

“ You have to be brave to eat here, but if you know what you're doing it's great lol 10/10 worthwhile adventure. Off street parking and fresh free hot veggie pickles. What else do you need to know?! Service was very friendly. If you don't speak spanish you might consider taking a friend with you who does, but either way you will survive. Very casual, simple place with carbs that will require a nap immediately afterward. ”
