    I went here for brunch and it didn’t disappoint. My husband had the chilaquiles and I had the French toast. Everything was delicious. We also had a mango drink which was good too.

    First of all, get everything, it's phenomenal. But the sopes app is amazing, the carne asada and duck breast is so savory and flavorful and the ricotta corn tamale completes the package. Come always!

    Paco usually will come around to present the specials.You usually can't go wrong with the options. He does a great job of having something that will interest you. Margaritas are awesome too!

    Just get here! Spring/summer is especially nice because of the great patio but because of the awesome cuisine you can't go wrong anytime of the year! Awesome music too on Friday nights!

    El Pepinito is a great one to try if you're a fan of fresh, light cocktails. The surf and turf option with the shrimp was a winner 👌🏼

    Amigos, I'm Mexican & lived in Latin America 10 years. This place is REALLY good! The aji amarillo sauce reminds me of Peru, and the nachos are great fusion.

    Tons of great Latin food options. Enjoy them in the dining room, at the bar or out on the massive patio.

    Im not a frequent drinker, but the El Jingebre I would drink by the pitcher. Warm, mellow, tart and sweet. So good.

    They changed chefs/menus a few years back. I used to get the enchiladas with mine because they were out of this world...now they're just "ok". The specialty drinks are killer!

    The shrimp was beautifully plated on a bed of spinach surrounded by sweet potato and minced squash. So wonderfully delicious.

    This restaurant treats its outdoor-dining customers right: Will supply sunglasses if it's very sunny, blankets if it's cold or you can sit by the open fire pit or huddle under the many propane heaters Read more

    El pepinito cocktail. Ahi tuna ceviche and humitas (tamales) are sinfully good. Fish tacos are decent. Carne asada and cuban braised beef were quite tasty.

    I am a fan--in real-time and on Facebook. Love the ambience here. South American feel, great martinis, friendly, efficient service, and entrees to please. Close to green line and Metra, too.

    The margaritas are the real thing!, (not like that awful concoction Americans think as margaritas) . And the nachos are pretty good, too.

    Do not pass up Maya de Sol's patio--it's only open a couple more months! Ask for Arturo at the bar for the BEST margaritas...
