Very polite staff good food and for me it was relatively quick. I just had to upgrade to five stars the food is amazing the prices are very reasonable and the staff has always been friendly. I've never tried any of the fish or seafood items but everything else is spot-on.

The Mares soup was decent, a little too fishy like the fish wasn’t washed. But the enchiladas were amazing. Would definitely go back for the enchiladas and try something new too

Went here for my dad's birthday on a whim last minute type of deal because they were heading on vacation and their flight was later on that night. Did a quick search on the web and found this gem of a place! Small to keep it comfortable and familiar. Felt like we were at home. The staff treated you like family and the food was fantastic! I would definitely come here again! They have more than just seafood! My entire family enjoyed their meal! I wish I would have taken photos but everyone just dug in to their food!

One staff member does not make a restaurant. It’s everyone, and in this case it made the difference. Had one poor experience months ago, tried again a couple weeks after and I am still going back. The staff there now is amazing. Very polite, incredibly courteous. Every-time we order the food is fresh and delicious. Best Rice & Beans for MILES!!! Updated my review based on recent experiences. We eat there at least once a week now. Best Mexican Food in Elmhurst/Bensenville!!!

The atmosphere is cheery modern and clean. The service is good but some can't speak English. The food... mainly fish and seafood are fantastic. Their oysters are fresh and sweet. Prices are good and less than average. Main salsa is solid with a strong tomato and onion flavor. The chips are possibly the best I've had. Warm and flaky.
