The sizzle, the aroma, the texture, the marinade and spices and who can forget that char crisp color that just manages to engulfs all five senses and culminates into just one physical result. A drool that would leave you wondering, "why haven't I come here all my life ? "
Its your typical shack, nothing special, of course easily missed in a strip mall on the corner of Oakton and Elmhurst Road. The humble menu offers the usual Mexican line up, tacos and burrito's from grilled chicken to carnitas and carne asada. Now do understand, there is a reason why they call it "las asada's"... go for their carne asada, its something outta this world.
They have managed to do one thing right, and managed to keep it that way. Mind you, if you want to get great service, and great sit down place, you know this is not the place for you. You just want something quick, in a run down place, with the best carne asade you'll ever have, now this is definitely the place for you. Its marinated overnight, in a blend of herbs and spices that's never overwhelming, and char grilled and served fresh with chopped onions, cilantro with your choice of tacos or burrito.
I would definitely recommend this place to your local steak lover who doesn't need their steak served with a side of a 3 digit bill, or topped with so many condiments that the flavor of the meat just evaporates. Go try it and it would definitely be a trip you would not regret.
