Aj GorczycaSeptember 4, 2014The nachos as an app were great. Also ordered the duck enchiladas. The mole sauce and everything were really good. Would order again.
Still too early to tell how the food is, but we have high hopes - need a good/chill/fun Mexican spot for the hood! Sunday Funday was awesome - great drinks, fun crowd, and really great music!!
Seriously my new favorite hangout in River North. I love the tostadas. Ooooh and the 64oz margaritas will have you feeling some type of way!
Lauren MeekAugust 9, 2014Huge margaritas! Good tacos. brunch is ok, nothing amazing. Fun places to watch the bears games they give you free swag!
Deryck BogsJuly 25, 2013Loved this new joint, cool vibe awesome shot list delicious margaritas can't wait to go back for 2 dolla tacos on Tuesday!
Nachos are to die for because of their light tortilla chips!! Best I've ever had!! Get the Bull Dog Beergarita!!
Sunday Funday w/Bulldog Margaritas is the way to go. Don't plan on being productive at work on Monday.
Redeye ChicagoAugust 7, 2015The Bulldog-garita at El Hefe is a 32-ouce margarita with a Corona planted inside. Read more
- Todd CarpenterAugust 27, 2013Tuesday is Taco Tuesday. So... If you're here on a Tuesday... You know... Get some Tacos... If you want.
Porfirio AlvaradoJanuary 2, 2016Don't get the Moscow mule could take the ginger beer. Meats on the tacos do have a good taste but it's better if it's hot and not cold.
China AddisonNovember 10, 2013It's like PacSun, Hooters, and a Mexican restaurant had a three-way and this was the resulting baby.
Geneva TonuziMay 30, 201320 friends here for a dinner - server spilled an entire drink on the Bday girl and didn't apologize. we asked 10 times, we were not once brought silverware, napkins or plates. Watered down drinks.
Megan MastersJune 20, 2015Eh. I was lured to the cool exterior but was lost on the fact nothing felt Mexican about the place. Food was good, Mexican fries were, however, awful.- Christopher TarantinoNovember 4, 2014Food was okay, but service was terrible. Ridiculously-wobbly table w/ no interest in fixing, limited server interaction and prolonged wait, watered down drinks and a general disregard for patrons...
Lia Evangelia HalarisJuly 5, 2013Didn't realize you could eat here. It was an over crowded, sloppy, mess when we visited. #FirstTimeInLastTimeOut
Joe FioritoDecember 19, 2015Terrible service. Extremely disrespectful staff. Will never return again
Charles BaloupMay 21, 2015lugar bastante bien montado como antro cantina. especialmen te diseñado para gringos. comida espantosa . servicio agradable. no recomiendo
