BluepawJanuary 25, 2015Fantastic & creative drinks (killer margs and micheladas plus cocktails and tequila flights), customizable tableside guac, huge art on the walls, and conversation volume on Saturday night. Ideal.
AngelaNovember 20, 2014One of my favorite margaritas in the city. Shaken & served straight up in a martini glass gives it the perfect chill. Add guacamole & chips and you have the perfect combo. I'd skip on everything else.
Rick IncJune 15, 2015Everything is really good here. Service is excellent. I'm sad they took the whole red snapper off the menu.
Jessica ToliuszisNovember 11, 2012Don't bother coming unless you plan to order table side guacamole (or guac). Margaritas are phenomenal. Order by the glass, there are no pitchers. They'll tots sing happy birthday to you in Spanish!
Christian BetancourtDecember 30, 2012This place was great!! Service was so fast and amazing! Best margarita ever....and fish tacos were to die for! Highly recommend this place!!
Table side guacamole and Adobo margaritas. Their pork tenderloin with mole has to be my favorite entree. Their gluten free selection is amazing!
Isabelle GottschalkSeptember 5, 2014Guacamole is made fresh right in front of you. Has the perfect amount of kick. Also the margaritas are pretty awesome.
Chulses MacSJune 15, 2014Best guac in Chicago and the tamarind chicken tacos were excellent. Also love the tequila flights.- L KAugust 27, 2014Unique Mexican food. At-your-table guacamole is a must! I also recommend the grilled shrimp.
Alissa GreenApril 7, 2013Love this place - super nice folks and awesome food. As good as any Rick Bayless joint at half the price.
Michael SippeyAugust 20, 2013Good guac. Really good guac. Jicama and mango salad is so-so. Chicken enchiladas are drowned in sauce. Get the guac.
Julie ShackletonApril 19, 2013Amazing gluten free menu. Veggie burrito was divine butternut squashness. Margaritas are dangerously good!
Alex SeatMarch 9, 2011Try the Chonita Pibil, pork shoulder marinated in achiote spices and slow cooked until it falls apart, delicious!!!!! Margaritas are simply heaven.
Karen WilliamsJune 15, 2014Order the Tlayuda with chicken- It's like a lite airy Mexican pizza - on an whole wheat shell- yummy
ISC ChicagoAugust 29, 2014Still one of the best places for guacamole; margarita not too shabby, either
David ParkJuly 13, 2014The formula if having an early dinner here is probably guac + carne asada + 2 margaritas.
Tom FoxJuly 23, 2011Changed the menu at some point recently to emphasize tapas over entrees :( but Adobo Margarita is still best in the city!!! Have one... or three!
C WMay 31, 2011Great service and food! Also our waiter was very helpful and knowledgeable in assisting me with ordering gluten-free items.
Their chocolate ice cream has notes of cinnamon and is delicious.
- ISC ChicagoMarch 24, 2016Great guacamole (and that's pretty much it); nothing spectacular, otherwise
Jenna HornbeckAugust 4, 2011Best guacamole in the world. Original margs are to die for. Customer service is excellent
Barbara MooreMay 8, 2012The Adobo Margarita recipe has changed. It used to be made with Herradura Silver. Order it that way.
Adam SegerJuly 8, 2011Try a hum float on your hand squeezed Lime Margarita or a 'Paloma Rojo' with equal parts hum & Tequila plus Squirt. Mmmm
Pamela CarpenterAugust 9, 2010Order the guacamole. They'll make it at your table. And the margaritas are out of this world.
Dan is the server you want, he rocks, he cares, and is a great server!
Gareth JonesMay 24, 2010Great meal out, best guacamole in town, the staff will come and make it at your table.
veraleaseOctober 20, 2010great service! have the guac & margatitas! server was attentive & knowledgeable.
Rick ColburnDecember 7, 2013Table side guacamole is great. Margaritas are too sweet. Carne Asada was very tough. Food was just okay!!!

"One of the best burritos and margaritas I've had on the North Side. And outside eating! Total win."
Lexy P - 8.7
"Their food is very tasty for a very reasonable price. Service is friendly and fast. Cons is that they only accept cash. Other than that is the perfect place to digest a delicious fast meal."
Maribel Suárez - 8.5
"The Mexican food is great here. I’d recommend calling ahead so your order is ready for pick up. Carne asada burrito is my favorite. Also, BYOB."
