This family run Mexican restaurant has been a favorite of my friends and many Oak Park and River Forest families for years. The lively atmosphere - including the owner, Paco, who is VERY lively, coming to every table to present the OH MY GOD specials - makes for a fun dinner experience every time. The margaritas are wonderful and strong, so be careful! The service here is great with friendly servers and speedy food runners. Most importantly, the food is authentic and delicious. Paco has 12 kinds of moles he rotates to put on the Fiesta Mole enchilada special including almond, macadamia nut, pipian verde and peanut. The mango tamales stuffed with goat cheese are AMAZING appetizers and some of my other favorites include Mar Y Tierra (surf and turf in a spicy sauce), Polpo de Ajo, chile rellenos and SO many more! The specials are always good, so give them a try!
