The deals here are great! We especially enjoyed the bubbler premade drinks at a great price point.

The taquitos are quite good. And the home made salsas are fab. You need to try both! But the tomatillo avocado was my favorite. The drinks were nice and they have a nice local craft beer selection. The piña poblano was spicy and the draft margarita was delicious.

I honestly have no clue how I haven’t been here before, especially living 10 minutes from here for nearly 2 years, but the taquitos are freaking awesome. So good that I am actively sitting in here writing this review. Atmosphere is cool and I’m a fan of the decor. Very vegetarian and vegan friendly. I’ll be back!

Live close by and have recently made two visits and really enjoyed myself. Clean well designed interior and super friendly bar staff. Had a tasty and spicy pineapple drink out of their bubbler that was perfect. I had the Tortilla Chips with a Tomatillo Avocado Salsa and the Poblano Pork Taquitos. Well prepared and really flavorful. Fun spot with a casual vibe. Will be back.

Great kind of hidden place on Addison. It's far away from all that Wrigley crap. Kite String is in a little more quieter area with still a lot going on. Has amazing drinks. The food is not to be missed, and even though it's prepackaged to go, you can still eat here. As the name of it says, it's a cantina. It therefore has lots of drinks. There's quite a few to choose from. It's about $12 for the cheapest cocktails. Paloma was the best of these. It's made with Corazon. The food was all in the reach in cooler, in to go containers but it's made on site. It's about $10 for the taquitos, of which you get a few. The Butternut Al Pastor is one of the ones okay for vegans. Soft and spicy on the inside. These are filled with the butternut squash along with adobo, onions, and pineapple. Come for the drinks and might as well try some of the food. It's made to go but you can still eat here. There's many options including nachos and taquitos that are good for vegans and vegetarians.

Honestly this should be a five star place. The food is great and the drinks are fun (they aren't superb but I like their selection) plus they have a great selection of local beers. The place is really aesthetically pleasing - equal parts divey and hipster, without feeling inauthentic. And the service is good too! Been here twice and both times the bartenders were kind, informed, and attentive. Unfortunately the only downside of this place is the crowd. The first time I went, I was alone and the only person in there. It was fine but it almost felt like they were closed. The second time was for Metal Horror Bingo. First of all, the people who showed up for that were totally boring, and secondly the event itself moved sooooo slow. It was just not the vibe.

Love this bar! Great selection of local beers and I love the food options (gluten and nut free, and also vegan options). The staff are awesome and I highly recommend this place!
