" After hearing numerous recommendations, I visited Los Altos and was excited to taste their well-known quesabirria tacos. However, the experience was underwhelming. The tacos were overcooked, which made the meat dry, and the consome lacked depth in flavor. The service was polite but a bit scattered. The ambiance is nice, though a bit cramped. Perhaps I just caught them on a bad day, but it's hard to justify returning when there are so many other places with better execution in this area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just left Los Altos after a satisfying meal! The enchiladas were some of the best I've had - just the right amount of spice and the sauce was rich and homemade. I sat down and enjoyed the cozy, colorful decor while waiting for my food. The staff was attentive and check on me frequently. What I really appreciated was the ample portion size for the price. A wonderful place to grab a traditional Mexican meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally visited Los Altos and I'm so glad I did! The birria tacos melted in my mouth, and the authentic horchata was the perfect drink. The atmosphere is quaint and welcoming. I felt like I was in a small Mexican village. The service was quick and friendly; the lady at the counter even recommended trying the cactus tacos, which were also delicious! If you're looking for authentic food, you can't go wrong here. I will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found this place on Yelp and it didn't disappoint! I ordered the shrimp tostada and a side of guacamole. The shrimp was fresh and the tostada was piled high with all the toppings. I do wish they had a few more vegan options on the menu, but overall, the food was delicious, even my meat-loving friends liked it! The service was great, and we had a lovely experience while there. I would recommend it to anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit disappointed after trying Los Altos. My meal was alright but it didn’t stand out compared to other Mexican restaurants I have visited. The ambiance is decent but felt crowded. The staff was pleasant, though. I might give them another shot in the future; perhaps I just ordered the wrong items. " (*Curated Review*)

" Searched for a new Mexican restaurant and came across Los Altos! The reviews were great, but my experience was slightly off. The food itself was decent, but it lacked the zing I expected from authentic cuisine. The atmosphere is nice, and the service was cordial, but it didn't quite meet my enthusiasm based on the news. I'd be willing to give it a second chance for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a regular at Los Altos because of their fantastic salsa and chips! The texture and taste are unmatched in North Chicago. The staff is friendly and always remembers my favorites, which make me feel special. I've tried many items on the menu, but the tacos remain my favorite. Highly recommend this little gem!
