One of the best stops in Mundelein for amazing food and equally amazing service. The quesadillas, pupusas and the molotes are among my favorites. Everything on the menu is hand crafted with real masa. Not much of a wait for your order to come out of the kitchen, but even when they get busy it is definitely worth the wait when everything comes out hot and fresh. 10/10⭐️
