My husband and I dined in tonight and the food and service was excellent. We ordered a pambazo chorizo con papas, Cuban super torta, quesorizo and two large horchatas. This is some of the best Mexican food we had and the cooks did a wonderful job! The inside was super clean and spacious.
Best tacos in the neighborhood! Service is good, and I often call ahead for to-go orders. I usually don't have to wait too long unless it's peak hours.
Un Platillo Campeón !! ... .... el primer platillo que pruebo aquí y muy delicioso , la salsa de los chilaquiles verdes muy sabrosa y picante lo suficiente para que sigan siendo "chilaquiles", los recomiendo !
Albany Park is a favorite area for ethnic food for me. Just walk a little bit and you'll come across Pupusas, middle eastern food, donuts, Filipino, Mexican, Brazilian, Chinese, brunch, etc. There's such a wide variety of places to eat and Taqueria San Juanito has become an instant go-to for a home cooked Mexican meal. I really admire this place, the first time, they were filled to capacity, and we could not get a table. The place was packed with all Mexican families - that's when you know it's the real deal. There was a live singer with a guitar, singing Mexican country songs, table side. I think he was lamenting about missing home. At least that's the feelin I had, namean?? It's byob, the art is Tasteful and the food is excellent. The Chile relleno, carne asada and chicken tacos were excellent. Much to my dismay, they don't offer lengua tacos. I liked my pambazo spicy sandwich and the giant steak quesadilla was Muy fantastico!! The service was very accommodating in breaking down the menu for us. It's street pahking folks and they fill up fast on the weekend. So hop to it amigos y amigas!!
Everything was great about this place. Cozy & inviting with tasty dishes. The only thing that could've made it better was a liquor menu, but I can always bring a flask next week ;)
