Excellent Mexican restaurant with great cocktails. We dined here on a Saturday night, in the semi-outdoor area. I love the modern but friendly decor. We had margaritas which were great, and I’m looking forward to trying other cocktails next time around. For dinner, we had the ceviche (good but VERY spicy), octopus (lovely) and Al pastor and Barbacoa tacos. The Barbacoa was really good. The service was fast, friendly and efficient. Only thing I didn’t quite like is that they brought out the check without us asking for it. We might have had another cocktail if given the chance, but oh well.

My husband and I just moved to Edison Park and are so happy that this place is in our neighborhood! The food was fantastic and the cocktails were by far the most creative we’ve had in the neighborhood. We can’t wait to be regulars here!

Was excited to try, walked in on a sunday at 7:45. However, with no hello or greeting; server came to our table and just announced that kitchen was closing soon so needed our order "like now" (no offer of any drinks or water) then she hovered over us waiting for response as we were supposed to make a 30 second deciscion. It was so rude and unwelcoming we walked out. Most people go out...instead of ubereats ...for a relaxing night out with proper service and good experience...not to feel like a complete inconvenience. Also, owners should update site with hours of kitchen closing at 7:45.

The charred octopus and ceviche are great! And the drinks are pretty good as well, highly recommend.

Had high hopes for this place smh. I’d love to say it was average but just wasn’t worth it. Also if you’re gonna charge 7 bucks for chips and salsa at least make sure the chips are fresh in house and salsa is better then that. I don’t mind high prices on food but it better be good quality.

Just a heads up if you're on the road or something and want to call in an order for pickup. Their phones are next door at Curragh? What? Anyway, bartender here said you can call there and they'll take care of pickup orders for this place. Whatever. I'm sitting here waiting for food to take away, thought I'd share.
WOW! Went here with some friends as we continue to explore the neighborhood spots up here as new residents and it was GREAT! Food was delicious, super fresh, and flavorful.Drinks were inventive and refreshing. Feel like it is one of the few spots up here with these styles of cocktails..DEFINITELY will be returning and bringing more friends with us!

Their website said they opened at 11:00. Made my reservation for noon. Drove from Crystal Lake to meet a friend only to discover they were closed for a private party. Very disappointed!!!
Really good tacos and cocktails. Kind people who take care of the client. We’ll come back, for sure!??

Made a reservation at Que Onde and when I got to the door there was a sign that said they were having a private event so we were unable to dine there. They should not have allowed reservations at that time if there was a private event.
This place is an absolute gem. Outstanding margaritas - really next level up! Delicious fresh guacamole. Every one of the tacos we’ve tried were great, but the pastor is really something special. I’m surprised there isn’t a line out the door every night! A must try.

Really tasty tacos and fast service! The 7yr old in our party was having a picky eating day and didn't really eat her pork belly tacos - the waiter noticed that and even offered to get her something more plain from the kitchen. Really above and beyond service, we're super appreciative!
Chips and salsa was very good and fresh. Salsa has a bit of a kick but not bad. Chips are thick and fresh, decent amount of salt on them. I got the carne asada and chorizo Street tacos, amazing. Meat had a slight crunch to it, flavors were amazing, and the presentation as my daughter said it, was incredible. Highly recommend and wish we lived to closer to put it into our monthly rotation of restaurants. You won’t be disappointed!
Complimentary chips and pico were 5 star. We went on St Patrick's day so there was a bit of a pub crawl vibe going on in there, but that's ok! I had Veggi Quesadillas and street corn - very good- my husband had barbaco tacos and my brother had a burrito bowl-no complaints- all very good! Service was fine, no problems. Will go back !
