Ten years ago we opened a taqueria at McDonough (Rt 6) with one goal: really good tacos for this city ๐ŸŒฎ

Thank you for every order, every review, and every friend you brought with you. Joliet will always be home โค๏ธ

Come make our new burrito bowls with us ๐ŸŒฎ

It starts with beans and rice, then your meat of choice. Steak on this one ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Top it off with cheese, lettuce, tomato, cilantro, and of course some sour cream ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Stir it all up and youโ€™ve got everything you love without the heaviness of the tortilla.

Stop by our taquerias and build yours ๐Ÿ™Œ
