“The food tastes good, though sometimes the sauce portions are a bit small, but if you ask, they’ll give you more. Prices are on the higher side. I usually stop by after grocery shopping at Whole Foods with my family when we feel a bit hungry. It’s a self-service kiosk, yet it prompts for tips. At first, I didn’t realize and added a few times, but honestly, if tipping is necessary, it should go directly to the chefs.“

“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.“

“A real authentic Mexican restaurant in Highland Park or in a lot of the North Shore is hard to find so I’m glad I found this one! Food is great, Service has been really friendly and attentive. These last few times I’ve gone. Enjoy sitting on the outdoor patio. Definitely coming back!!“

“I just want to mention how much I absolutely LOVE Monica’s!! I’ve been twice now with my nursing class, and we’ve had great experiences both times. The food was hot and delicious, (I got 3 pastor tacos!) and was made in a timely manner, and the service from the staff was excellent, so wonderful, pricing is very reasonable and affordable, I feel so welcomed and I’ll be recommending this place to others and I’ll be coming back more times! Great Job Monica’s!!“

“Incredible dining experience! From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere draws you in. The food, especially the langostinos and mehillines left us smiling throughout the meal.

Service was friendly, nice casual dining spot. Great bar choices. The meal was delicious - we had the skirt steak and the flavor was top notch. My meal came with 4 shrimp and prepared well, not spicy. The flavors were yum and truly can’t wait to go back. From reviews the seafood looks delicious. We will try that next time!“

I travel all over the US for work and this is a top 5 spot for me outside Arizona. Toda la carne es Buena.“

“We came from Minneapolis to Chicago and it was one of the first places we went to eat, because it was close. But everyone was super friendly and the service was good.

The rice and beans are more or less, but the rest is delicious. Especially the huaraches. So like the name, I recommend the huaraches!!“
