“Salsa 17 has always been one of our families favorite restaurants. They have delicious food, great service and a casual fun atmosphere. Yesterday they went above and beyond for us. We were hosting a large party at our home and reserved a food truck from another business. 5 minutes before our party started we received a call that the food truck was not able to show up. I called Salsa 17 and with no notice they were able to cater a fajita bar for 40 people in just over an hour. The manager I spoke to was accommodating and so kind. The food was outstanding and plentiful. I highly recommend Salsa 17 for both in person dining and catering!“

“We went to Mago in Barrington last night for the first time and were blown away. They were very busy so we sat at the bar. Service was fast and friendly. Food was terrific and the menu features things you won’t find at your standard Mexican restaurant like three choices of mole. Tableside guacamole is absolutely lovely. I have to say, though, what made our experience was watching the magnificent bartender. His efficiency, speed, and obvious dedication to what he was doing was just a marvel. He never stopped moving! We will definitely be back as every aspect of our experience was very enjoyable.“

“Exuberant, fun time! We went on a night with no cover and instead tipped $20 to the performers to get our song played right away. I was one of the women dancing enthusiastically whenever there was a song I knew.
Our drinks were tasty but small for $15. But if you want a large drink, you can order a tub! Complete with rubber ducks.“

The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere with live music was incredible, and the entire team was exceptionally professional, making the evening feel so special.

A special thank you to Aman — 100% out of 100%! His service was outstanding. I never had to remind him of anything; he anticipated our needs, paid attention to every detail, and understood us without a word.

Thanks to the entire Ethno team, I now have one more beautiful memory that I will cherish for years to come. Besides, their team created a very nice video of our celebration!
