The Lalo's restaurant on Cermak and Laramie is actually called "Salsa and Tortillas."  It is not a regular sit-down restaurant where you are served by their wait staff.  It's a buffet style fast food restaurant where you go through the line and they serve you from behind the buffet and you seat yourself.  I would recommend the regular Lalo's Restaurant locations in Cicero near Austin and Cermak or Berwyn on Harlem Avenue if you're looking for authentic Mexican food with atmosphere and great margaritas.

That's Lalo's fast food restaurant. 53rd ave and Cermak I think. Decent burritos and tortas. They have a drive thru which is great if you're looking for something on the run. Beats the heck out of any of the drive thru burger joints.
