Our Guestbook
“ Found this spot one Saturday morning and had a great breakfast! The waitress was so nice and personable. We started with chamomile tea and limonada. For food we ordered the desayuno especial and desayuno sarmiento. The food was well seasoned and really yummy. Both came with tortillas that are made in house!! There were lots of tables and I loved the music they were playing. Will definitely return when in the area again. ”
“ This place is really very clean and has great food in a cozy McKinley park area. This was a take out order where it met all expectations from my family members. The person that took my order Jennifer was so kind and professional. I would most definitely recommend Gorditas de Tia Suzy! ”
“ Nice change from typical Norteño Mexican cuisine (Durango style). Plates are a bit smaller than expected but quite affordable so allows for a variety of items and tastes during a meal, and the handmade tortillas are to die for as are the salsas. They're BYOB and the liquor store across the street allows for parking so pick up your favorite beverage and be prepared to have truly a truly authentic Mexican food experience at a great value. Very friendly and down to earth service as well. The chicharron prensado is the bomb! ”
“ not sure if it's because I have a mild hangover but this was freaking delicious. I ordered the quesabirria and consomé And this flour tortilla rolled with bean and cheese. Look stop hesitating and order ”
“ In Chicago for riot fest from Fort Worth, TX. This was by far the best meal we've enjoyed in the four days we've been here. Comfort food at it's best. Cozy, clean and comfortable dining area. Staff were friendly, smiling and attentive. Best corn tortillas I've eaten in my 52 years of eating corn tortillas almost daily. ”
“ I have only been here once before, and so far I remember it quite the same. I frequent a lot of Mexican restaurants, and this is the only one that has a Jarrito (I believe that's what it's called) filled with water. The jarrito keeps the water cold, and it's a self serve too. I almost love it just for that fact alone. Very nice staff and clean tables and restaurant overall. I've been back a few times now, and I'm sure I'll be back ”
“ The chilaquiles here are incredible. The tortillas were crunchy and not soggy, which sometimes is a problem with the sauce. But it isn't here. The I tried both the green and red sauces--both great choices. You can add a meat of your choice for an extra $2.50, but it doesn't need it. The restaurant is relatively small, but it doesn't seem to get TOO busy. We were able to be seated right away on a Sunday around noon. I can't wait to go back and try everything else. They accept cards. ”
