This mom and pops restaurant is amazing, the selection of traditional Mexican food is big enough for anyone to go for 3 plates trying different dishes, the service is great always asking if everything is ok,the seller thing for me was the home made tortillas and for dessert the flan,we will definitely go back and felt great helping a local restaurant, highly recommend it,$22 for all you can eat is a great deal,don't forget to leave a tip they deserve it.

This place is amazing and worth the price😁! I saw lots of videos about this place being a Mexican buffet for $19.99 all you can eat. So I waited and waited and finally and the chance to come by around 11:30 am! La señora up front was so sweet and communicative about the buffet and offered me some quesadillas and tortillas! I felt like I as at home. The food is very delicious and authentic! I can tell they worked so hard to make all of this happen (images below) Overall, this place is a must visit, especially for the holidays. I wish this place the best and hoping they stay in business! I left a thank you note to show my appreciation for being hospitable to the community! Thank you ♥️

I’ve tried a lot of different Mexican restaurants in Chicago and I mean a lot. This place is number 2 now on my list. Out of respect I won’t name my first but this place is actually really really good. I promise the flavors and authenticity is there. Definitely be back soon!

Such an amazing buffet. All home made and delicious. Even the tortillas are hand made. About 20 bucks a person. Its such a good value.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review for Taquizas Don Rafa (La Villita) This place is a gem. They run a full Mexican buffet Tuesday through Sunday, and on the day I went I counted 24 different guisados — no joke. For dessert they had pan dulce, arroz con leche, classic Mexican sweets, small fruit cups, coffee, and champurrado. What really impressed me is that they’ll make pancakes, waffles, sopes, huaraches, and chilaquiles fresh to order at no extra cost. Every dish I tried was delicious with great, authentic flavors. I love that whatever craving I walk in with, I can always find something here. This spot deserves the 5 stars. Oh as if all that was not enough, the service is superb, everyone is soo nice!

Come hungry. The stews (guisados) are really good. My kid said to me “these taste like your food, this is like eating at home” The restaurant has plenty of stews to choose from, from red meat, pork, chicken, and egg stew. Pozole, menudo, and carnitas are part of the menu.

The staff are very kind and attentive. I can tell they care about the cleanliness of the buffet. Its not perfect, but it does do the job for mexican food cravings. My favorite are the hand made tortillas? Absolutely delicious

I was really impressed with this buffet. Everything was delicious and authentic. I walked in and was seated immediately, was able to serve my plate, grab a drink, and was served freshly handmade tortillas. I also grabbed a bowl of pozole, which is nearly impossible to find anywhere on a weekday. They even have an option where you can place an order for quesiddilas and sopes. I'm so glad I found this place. I wish it was sooner. I can't wait to come back with my whole family as it is very reasonably priced.

Great concept, nicely executed. The food didn't lack authenticity. Don't know how they to do. But it was amazing. Got to talk to the owner and she was really nice. It was like eating at my grandma's house. Amazing hospitality 🫰🏽

This place is super authentic from the meat in salsa to the rice, beans, and extras the buffet is good and the place was clean the tortillas are made from hand as well super fresh and hot. I highly recommend the tacos al pastor "marinated pork and the asada steak tacos They are delicious the beef stew I recommend as well all food was well seasoned.

One of the best Mexican buffets in have ever seen. I loved that they offered a variety of typical Mexican food, sides, and YES even desserts. 😋

The place is small, so its packed and a little chaotic, they had only 2 ladies working on a Saturday, they were constantly running around to keep the handmade tortillas coming, taking special orders and cleaning the tables, always with a smily and respectful. The price is just and affordable. Things that would make a new customer’s experience better would be 1) if they had one person, only to greed people, explain the concept and charge. 2) label the food on the buffet table. 3) find a way to hold the serving spoons, so that they dont end up in the food🤮

Place is clean, it was packed so we had to wait on a table but the wait was not bad. Food - we did the buffet which also allows you to order some items from a posted menu on buffet, tortillas are hand made fresh. Also you can order from the menu if you choose not to do the buffet. The only complain I have is that the food needs to be kemp a little warmer i would say they could use a new buffet food holder the one they have is outdate making it hard to reach the food on opposite side it is against the wall so no way around it. So in order to reach u may have to bend a little and strech arm a little more than usual. Price not to bad it was $20 per adult plus your tip. Children we didnt have any but it was cheaper for kids. Oh they had tamales ,barbacoa, carnitas, huaraches, guisados , champurrado,soda machine,etc all buffet

I went to try this place out since they had a buffet. I thought the place would have alot of variety of food. Turns out that their variety was not as big and not that many desserts. In my opinion the food did not look appetizing to me. But that's just my opinion.

Food was great but the service was really poor. My wife an I (both Females) Felt discriminated because the waitress was just being nice to men and would offer them anything from the menu and not once did she turn to us or the other ladies that were there if there was anything we needed from the grill. She didn't even look at us when she came and picked up our plates... First and last time going there. I should've read the comments before going there. Other customers on here had the same experience we did. PLEASE DO BETTER!

Arrived @ 548 pm only to be told they close @ 600 pm even though online says they close @ 700 pm. If u stop serving buffet @ 6p so u can close or stop cooking so as not to waste food I understand. Just let ur customers or potential customers know.

i saw this restaurant on tiktok again today and remembered my experience from earlier this year and thought i'd reread what i posted for my review but i don't seem to see it so i'll write it here again: March 18, 2025, me and my family visited the restaurant for a second time (we come all the way from minnesota and loved the food the first time) but this time around, there was a dead fly in one of the tamales. the staff were kind and refunded for one of our guests, but I am still giving this review since on the post about the restaurant people were complaining about the hygiene and the food. i wish this restaurant luck and for them to try and change their ways so that their establishment becomes more sanitary

I recently came here with my child and felt discriminated. The waitress was rude and attended to men first when I had been there way before them. I was overlooked for service and well, it was my first time there, but surely will be my last. I payed 25 dollars so nothing near the 20 dollars it promotes on tiktok. I came with the intention to support my community, but how can I when this is how we are treated in return. Def bad service !!
