good flavor but everything was solid cold and even when sent back it was still brought back cold. It didn’t help that we got seated next to the door on the coldest day of the year and with all the people coming in and out they didn’t have something to shield the cold to the point where you had to eat with your winter coat on. The restroom only
Had one stall and the mop cart in the middle for someone to fall over if they aren’t looking down and the sink had no warm water.

I recently enjoyed a fantastic lunch at Cantón Regio in Chicago with my girlfriend and a lovely couple who have become great friends. From the moment we entered, we were greeted by the vibrant decor and warm atmosphere, which instantly set the tone for a wonderful midday meal.
The ambiance was lively yet relaxed, making it the perfect spot for a casual lunch with friends. We were quickly seated by the friendly staff, who were eager to help us navigate the menu filled with enticing options.
We decided to start with some appetizers, choosing the ceviche, which turned out to be a refreshing choice. The fish was incredibly fresh, marinated to perfection with zesty lime and complemented by crisp vegetables and cilantro. It was the ideal start to our meal and sparked excitement for what was to come.
For our main courses, we opted for a variety of tacos. Each taco was a delightful surprise—full of flavor and served on freshly made tortillas. The carne asada was tender and smoky, while the al pastor offered a delicious blend of sweetness and spice. My girlfriend and her friends also enjoyed a vegetarian taco that was colorful and packed with flavor.
As we savored our meals, the lively atmosphere around us only enhanced our experience. We shared laughter and stories, enjoying each other’s company in this delightful setting. The margaritas were a highlight as well—refreshing and perfectly balanced, they paired beautifully with our meals.
To wrap up our lunch, we couldn’t resist trying the flan. It was creamy and rich, a perfect sweet note to end our dining adventure.
Cantón Regio exceeded our expectations not only with its fantastic food but also with the inviting atmosphere that made our lunch feel special. I left feeling satisfied and happy, looking forward to returning for another meal. If you’re searching for a place to enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine in a warm, friendly environment, I highly recommend Cantón Regio. It’s a wonderful spot for creating memorable moments with friends!

Cantón Regio is truly a standout restaurant in the Chicagoland area, offering authentic Monterrey, Mexico cuisine. The shrimp bruschetta and carne asada are absolute must-tries—they hit the spot every time. I also highly recommend the queso panela asado; it’s amazing!
The BYOB option is a fantastic touch, allowing you to bring your favorite beer to enjoy with your meal. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that keeps me coming back!

Anyone looking for an outstanding Mexican restaurant should try this place! The food was fresh, high quality and extremely tasty. We had the one kilo of arracheras (skirt steak) with onions, the Enchiladas Arturo and Antonio, our waiter, gave us free cheese fritter to try. Also had the beans as part of our dish and freshly made corn and flour tortillas! Antonio and the whole staff were very attentive and knowledgeable. Will definitely be coming back with friends. This place is BYOB.

Found this reco on Reddit and it did not disappoint. The skirt steak was tender and perfectly done; we ordered the half kilo and they gave us so much I thought they mistakenly gave us the larger kg portion. Staff was friendly. Very delighted!

The food is good and the service is good. But what disappointed me was that they only accept cash. And when I paid I felt like they overcharged me. The receipt didn't even say what they were charging me. I think they include the tip, which I understand is fine, but they should let customers know.
