As a Mexican, I can this food is amazing and really authentic. The Chef who owns this establishment has studied the culinary culture of Mexico and it shows. I got the Chipotle Chicken and it had so much flavor. I come tot he AirPort early only to make sure I have time to get a torta from this establishment. The line/wait can be long but it is well worth it!
Love Rick's cooking videos on YouTube and saw this restaraunt. It's a very small airport restaraunt with limited seating but EVERY BITE WAS DELICIOUS. Great guacamole, the smoked ham in the Cubano torta was exceptional, and the staff was quick and friendly. Check it out
Oh no, not open for breakfast any more! This was the thing I looked forward to when flying out of O'Hare in the morning. Hopefully it's just temporary. Still gave it 5 stars because the food is great. Just wish they were open for breakfast. They always seemed to be doing great breakfast business.
