" Good food but the service left something to be desired. My friends and I visited on a Friday evening and though the food was delicious, we had to wait a long time to place our order and our drinks took forever to arrive. The food was worth the wait, though! The tacos were delicious, and the ambiance felt authentic Mexican with colorful decor and good music playing. Overall, I would recommend it for the food, but be prepared for a bit of a wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Callejón del Beso is a gem in Cicero! We went there because it was highly recommended, and it did not disappoint. I ordered their famous arrachera tacos that were soft and flavorful—truly to die for. The service staff were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. My partner tried the chilaquiles and said they were the best he’s ever had! The reasonably priced menu, combined with generous portions, makes this restaurant stand out. We’ll definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally got to visit El Callejón del Beso last night and I have to say it was fantastic! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted warmly. The ambiance is cozy, reminiscent of traditional Mexican eateries. We ordered the carne asada tacos and, oh boy, they were absolutely packed with flavor! You can tell the meat is high quality, well marinated, and grilled just right. We also tried the horchata, which was one of the best I've had! My only critique would be that the service was a little slow during peak hours, but it was worth it for the quality of food. I can't wait to return and try more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at El Callejón del Beso after hearing so many positive things, but I must admit that my experience was a bit underwhelming. The food was decent, but not as authentic as I had hoped. I tried the chilaquiles, expecting something vibrant and flavorful, but it was more bland than I anticipated. The service was decent, and the atmosphere was lively with good music. However, for a Mexican restaurant, I expected stronger flavors and a more diverse menu. Perhaps I'll give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just finished dinner and loved every minute. The quesabirrias were incredible! So cheesy and flavorful. The horchata is a must-try! The restaurant felt nice and was decorated well, creating a warm atmosphere. Service was prompt and friendly too. I’m already looking forward to coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered food from El Callejón last night, and I must say the carne asada was very flavorful but the sides left a bit to be desired. The beans were a little undercooked, but the tacos themselves were fantastic. The service was friendly and on point, and the ambiance felt warm and welcoming. Probably would recommend but may skip the sides next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a fantastic meal at El Callejón del Beso! The tacos are incredible and they tasted very authentic. I was blown away by how fresh everything tasted. The service was friendly, although a bit slow, but they were busy, so I'll forgive that. The atmosphere was charming and really captures the essence of Mexican dining. I can't wait to go back and try the other options on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
