“ The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was made fresh. The dish servings are plentiful and delicious. They have some of the best Pico de Gallo and guacamole. I'll definitely return for more food. ”
“ Decided to have chilaquiles with the green sauce. After many years of coming here I’m not sure if something changed but the chilaquiles were okay. They used to have the best chilaquiles in Chicago, in my opinion. The chips with the pico de gallo are always a hit. One of my favorite parts of the meal is sitting down then the chips and sauces show up. The service is always outstanding. Quick and efficient, friendly and accommodating. If you read this far I recommend you check this place out. Sunday morning breakfast at El Presidente is a good time to go. ”
“ I've been to many Mexican Restaurants and this is in my opinion one of the best I've been to. The food is amazing, delicious and perfectly presented. Generally delicious Mexican cuisine. The service is also nice. I'll definitely visit here again when I'm in the area. ”
“ Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere of this restaurant. Some of the best Mexican cuisine I’ve ever had - will be back! ”
“ Nice little Mexican place. The interior is tasteful and was empty when i was there but it was still early in the morning that is probably why. The food came out fast and my burrito tasted quite good little too salty but it’s just my opinion. The only beef i have with the restaurant is they brought me a steak burrito instead of vegetarian like i asked. I’m not a vegetarian so i just ate it all good. ”
