I wanted to try a new spot and this was a huge disappointment. I ordered through uber and the food was cold and soggy, but more disappointing was the lack of flavor. The grilled chicken was so bland and dry; there is no sight or thought for seasoning in the chicken. The salsas are bland, and the tamale had string beans on top of it. This place is cosplaying as Mexican food. I’m not sure how they have 4.5 stars.

Everything was wonderful! Let’s start off with the service. I wasn’t very familiar with the different types of sauces and they offered me a sample of each to try in order to help me to decide which sauce to select for my meal. Everything came out fast, and the staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and efficient. NOEL AND JOVANA were SUPERB! They showed us pictures of everything and explained all of the options and we really enjoyed the food. It was very good. Everything was cooked perfectly, well seasoned, but not over seasoned, but still light. We live in the neighborhood and will definitely come back again. Everything was fantastic!

Can't go wrong with the house margarita and the cochinita. Skip the tacos and go with a plate.

My wife and I are often in the Hyde Park area, and we finally decided to stop into 5 Rabanitos for lunch — and we’re glad we did! The menu has a great selection of authentic Mexican dishes, and everything we ordered tasted fresh and flavorful.
Even though the restaurant wasn’t very crowded when we visited, it did take a little while to be serviced, which makes me think wait times could be longer if it’s busy. That said, the staff were friendly and welcoming once we were helped, and the overall experience was enjoyable.
Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the neighborhood and craving authentic Mexican food!

I was really hoping that 5 Rabanitos HP was as good as their Pilsen location and it was! The HP location is cozy and beautifully decorated with murals and local art. The food was amazing. If you want delicious authentic high quality Mexican food now you have 2 locations to choose from.

Delicious!
It’s so important to have good service, no matter what the customer looks like, or the number of people, treat everyone as a valued customer. I didn’t receive that coming here, which seemed much like a choice given by the staff as I observed other guests experiencing the restaurant in a different way. Seated myself, waited quite some time to order, ended up ordering to go since the wait was long with only just few customers eating there. Got my food and no words were exchanged, in contrast some customers were chatted with outside the door with staff. I was quite surprised by this experience overall honestly, given being a long time resident of Hyde park and giving this new restaurant a chance. Last but not least, I ordered the vegetarian torta, and it was pretty bland in flavor, it felt as if I was eating greasy filled vegetables between bread. It was pretty disappointing overall, safe to say I won’t be coming back in the future. Best of luck to this Mexican based restaurant.

The service was great. The staff were kind and very accommodating. The food was very bland. I had the taco dinner, grilled chicken and steak. I probably will not return.
