   We stopped by Big Star before the Cubs game. Place our order for 4 tacos at 12:40pm and still no food by 1:30pm. We got up and left. I think there was a computer problem. Waitress avoided our table.

   Went there after today’s cubs game, we made a reservation and were sat immediately. Server took a few minutes but that is to be expected so many tables arriving at once. Got our app and drinks super quickly, she must have gotten busy bc took a while to grab our main orders. My partners food came, and then mine never did. As I was trying to find the server I noticed her talking to a manager, he came back and said my meal would be comped and it should be alright, as to which I had said it’s okay I’m okay having this taken off the bill, but they brought over a gift card for us to return, and I really appreciated it. I understand they were probably extremely slammed all at once! I’ll definitely be returning as they really took care of us after!

   Tacos always come out extremely fast which is great prior to sporting events. Beware of the 3% surcharge that is on the bill.

   Perfect time for our large group. We were upstairs which wasn’t too loud so we could actually hear each other talk.

   Our server was outstanding. Super nice and very attentive. Unfortunately, the food was only okay. All of our tacos were way over spiced and some were too spicy to eat. We’ve ordered them in the past so this was a surprise. They tasted very different and very “vinegary”. It wasn’t terrible, but not as good as it’s been before. We’ve dined here many times and it’s usually outstanding, but this time we were disappointed in the food.

   Overall our experience here was a good one. Does feel like some items are a little overpriced (the margarita pitcher for example). Our server was quite pleasant but it seemed like maybe they were a bit understaffed as we had to wait quite some time for an initial greeting, getting our bill, etc. We'd probably eat here again if someone suggested it but not somewhere I'd make a special trip for.

   Decent food, decent service , ambiance is fine. Overall a fine experience. Went on a game day and they had an abridged menu and trying to move you out of there. If you are in the area, I would return but don’t go out your way
