Great food for a great value. Guacamole made table side, the Especiales plates are big enough to share! Tacos plates are a more reasonable size for just one. Ask for a table by the fireplace or patiio

I love their guacamole, it's made right at your table! They have great margaritas too. The vegan/vegetarian options aren't great, but doable. I always get their artichoke and avocado enchilada

The River North location of this popular Mexican restaurant chain sports modern looks and is a solid spot to take grandma when she visits from Iowa or Ohio. Read more

Everything I ate was delicious! The ahi tuna tacos on the lounge menu are incredible. Blood orange sangria and passion fruit margarita were great.

Swing by to grab a margarita or hand-muddled mojito before diving into dishes such as the cascabel ribeye steak, Oaxaca cheese chile rellenos & braised pork shanks topped with chipotle wine sauce. Read more

It's all about the fresh made table side guacamole! Yum! That and their deserts especially the Mango Tres Leches is awesome!

Happy hour deal of $6 margaritas and $5 wine. Also free chips and salsa.

Just had an amazing salad -- try the ensalada de cilantro the next time you visit @cantinalaredo in #chicago.

Stuffed pepper with shrimp, corn, mushroom, and pepper jack cheese is so good. It inspired me to make my own version at home but I'll be back for the real thing!
Madeline GullettJanuary 7, 2015
The Casa Rita is their strongest margarita! And it's yummy. The blood orange sangria is also a fun tasty drink! 🍹🍹🍹

Weekday happy hour 3:30 to 6:30pm in the large bar area and second foot lounge. Casa ‘Rita for $7 and chicken quesadillas for $7 are the way to go.
Joe RodriguezMarch 9, 2013
The hot chile salsa is soo good. Even better than grandma's...also get the Cameron Poblano Asada, steak wrapped around a shrimp and cheese stuffed pepper. Absolutely phenomenal.

Live and love this place. Don’t miss a corner to admire its architectural detail. Food great!
Eve BentonMarch 1, 2014
I don't have the menu any longer but I ordered the carne asada wrapped around a poblano pepper and it's incredible!

Yes, the guacamole table side of course. The surprise....best fresh fish in RiverNorth. Try it.

For weekend brunch , they offer a free mimosa or bloody Maria with your brunch meal. The crab cakes with poached eggs were amaaazing!!

Guacamole is made fresh table side, and you can get it spicy or not. Excellent - don't be afraid to ask for more chips.
Yael BlattSeptember 10, 2016
Easily one of the best brunches I've ever had. Loved it all!
Jessica HuiApril 27, 2014
Guacamole is fresh. All the drinks are amazing. Tacos are great! Meat is well seasoned and very tasty.
CarolApril 12, 2016
Table side guac is really good. Loved the interior and bar area. Great margaritas. Food was mediocre at best, I got the combo fajitas (steak & chicken) and it was nothing special. Not great service
Kevin KlimaAugust 19, 2012
The mojitos are great but a little too sweet to have more than one. The upstairs bar is the perfect place to grab a drink.
Christopher FlossSeptember 4, 2016
#CantinaLaredo in #Chicago has great #guacamole and chips! Great #brunch menu options on the weekends!
Jen Marquez GinnFebruary 10, 2015
Guacamole made table-side is delicious. Fun lounge area upstairs if you just want a drink.
Dalton SpearAugust 9, 2013
World class guacamole, slow refill on the chips/drink.. Amazing atmosphere, a little loud, nice open breeze.
Tori HughesAugust 19, 2013
If you're celebrating anything, tell your server and you'll be brought a dessert on the house! And the food in general is excellent!
Robert EdwardOctober 3, 2011
Tableside guacamole and Mama Cuellar's apple pie were wonderful. Seafood entree - broiled sea bass served fajita-style - delicious. Our waiter, Virgilio, was excellent.

Get here early for the "happier half" weekday promotion, where small plates on the second-floor lounge are half-price between 4 and 7 p.m. Read more

4-7 happy hour upstairs with so many good choices. You can't go wrong with the shrimp flatbread!
Amalfi Experience-DesignerJune 14, 2012
Don't miss out on their tableside guacamole! It's delicious! And if you're looking for a spicier salsa, ask the server for the habanero!
Debbie TeufelDecember 30, 2012
Have drinks and appetizers upstairs by the fireplace. It's warm, cozy and margaritas are oh so good!
Niels VerdonkAugust 24, 2015
Fajitas are very good and guacamole is made fresh at your table.
Tara BFebruary 25, 2014
So good!! ahi tuna taco's and blood orange sangria! Do not miss!
Jim MuttramJune 8, 2013
The guacamole hand-made at your table at a strength to suit your taste is excellent
Michael CaputoOctober 8, 2011
Give the superfuit mojito a try - it's a fresh, flavorful combination of mint, blackberry, sugarcane, limes, and dragonberry bacardi.
Paul GallagherAugust 30, 2014
Guacamole made at your table with freshly fried nachos. Delish!
Gabe BatstoneSeptember 27, 2016
Love the Chicken dishes and chips with salsa is awesome.
DANIELFebruary 4, 2012
I know it looks like a Land Rover Dealership from the outside, but fear not! They've got chips, queso and damn good tacos!
Nicole VelazquezJanuary 6, 2013
Such a cute modern place!! Great decor! Great place! Food was delish!
Michael CaputoOctober 8, 2011
If you like chocolate, brownies, or awesomeness - you have to try the Mexican brownie. The ring of deliciousness is brandy butter sauce.
Taylor SAugust 9, 2013
Try a mango or strawberry margarita while sitting by fire!
Garrett BuxtonMarch 29, 2013
Guacamole rocks. Enchiladas mole and enchiladas barbacoa are also top notch.
Veronica RivasOctober 27, 2012
Try the Casa Rita Margarita! You'll be in for a treat. The Mango & Pollo salad, amazing!
Nick 🍾 FarinaAugust 20, 2013
guac is good, but be careful when you ask for spicy - they just fill it up w/ jalapeños, which overpowers the avocado flavor.
Katie C.August 24, 2013
Mexican brownie is to die for!! Make sure you save room for this dessert.
Noel RodriguezOctober 9, 2015
Food is alright, nothing worth noting to others. If you have guests from out of town, Rick Bayless is down the street. Xoco isn't a full sit down experience but your taste buds will love you for it.
Julie ParfreyOctober 24, 2015
The enchiladas were better than the tacos. Service was excellent.
Max MossJuly 16, 2016
Great queso and the margaritas are delicious.
Monti BrayMarch 4, 2015
Table side guac is muy delicioso and a must!

They make the guacamole fresh table side here. It's really delicious so start with that.

Enchiladas Mole and the Carnitas Torta are spot on!
