Dress code: Casual — come as you are (hoodies, jerseys, and post-shift attire all common)
Noise level: Moderate to loud late at night; quieter during daytime and early evening
Weekend wait: Usually 10–20 minutes at peak late-night hours; minimal wait earlier in the evening
Weekday lunch: No wait typically — orders move quickly at the counter
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — bean, cheese, and veggie burritos/tacos are available on request

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for casual, late-night eats than a formal first date — it shines as a relaxed, practical stop after a game or night out.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — it’s counter-service with open seating; most guests take food to go, so tables turn quickly even when busy.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes during daytime and early evening with simple, shareable plates; late-night hours skew more toward post-bar crowds.
Best For
Better for: Large, filling burritos served late into the night with fast counter-service and reliable portions for Broadway and Wrigley spillover traffic
Skip if: You want chef-driven Mexican, patio dining, or curated cocktails — this is a utility stop focused on volume, speed, and value
