Elisa AmbrosiniAugust 31, 2014Bought a brunch groupon and glad I did. Chilaquiles with salsa verde is amazing! $5 mimosa on Sunday. Bloody Mary's kind of gross, taste like liquid smoke. Mimosas and margaritas really good!
Ploumi KOctober 29, 2013Food is very tasty and well presented! WOW decor, waitstaff very knowledgeable (do try what they suggest), kitchen still glitchy with order fulfillment. Pork guacamole was awesome!
Akhil ChopraDecember 29, 2013Amazing spot! You feel like you're in Chicago. Great service, they really care. Our waitress was amazing. Menu has tons of variety!
Yamili SaucedoJanuary 5, 2017Wasn't crazy about the pomegranate sangria. I ordered the chicken sopes, which were too crunchy. Atmosphere is beautiful though with great music. They do not skimp on alcohol which is a plus!
Paul MartisNovember 24, 2014Great Guacamole plate appetizers. Modern Latin vibes near Oak Brook, IL.
Jon WheatMarch 10, 2014Great food in a great atmosphere. Prices were just a tad high for the smaller portions they serve.
Brandee MartinJune 13, 2014Great patio, food was just ok. The atmosphere is probably great after work. The creme Brulee was tasty!
Arm CandyOctober 20, 2013The shrimp ceviche was very good and the sangria was different but still tasty.
Edward HarringtonNovember 1, 2013Complimentary bacon from 3-7pm for bar snacking on Mondays! So good!
Teresa FiandacaJuly 31, 2016Super expensive for the amount of food you get. It was decent as far as flavor. I only go 4 tiny shrimp on the shrimp taco. It was mostly cabbage and tortilla. The rice and beans were tasteless.
Navi KayJuly 2, 2014Worst service ever....didn't not want to serve us because the server thought we had to much...we were just trying to b nice n friendly. Manager served us but before he did asked us 21 questions!!!
Jon JanewayAugust 31, 2014Bloody Mary is way too spicy. Tastes like steak sauce. The Margaritas are way better.
