    I love the theme at this hot dog and Mexican eatery. Easily in my top 10 best Chicago hot dog list, nice crunch to the pickle, and the fries are addicting. Chicken taco was also great!

    Such great tacos for the price!! All are great, but my fave is the tilapia and the pork (barbocao style).

    The shakes are legendary! Don't plan on a big meal if you're going to get one, they're soooo filling!

    This evil looking hot dog could be a character in Courage the Cowardly Dog. Good thing the food doesn’t taste bad like this wiener’s wicked stare.
