Absolutely top find. Excellent food and drink, enjoyed during their Happy Hour. The food was fabulous and the staff were all so very helpful and attentive. Really enjoyed our visit and will seek it out if we visit Chicago in the future.
Mole chilaquiles were so good, finally had a traditional tlayuda and it was everything I expected!
My first visit to the Bayless empire. I didn't want to go, I didn't want to like it, but I'll admit it - it's legit good and I didn't feel overrun by cultural appropriation (and believe me, I thought I would). I might not make this a regular spot but it would be hard not to include it in your happy hour repertoire.

XOCO is a lively Mexican restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. The service is generally great, although the greeter may come across as a bit unfriendly at times. The portion sizes during happy hour are small, but the Churros and Habanero pepper sauce are absolutely amazing. The Mezcal is also a highlight, and customers recommend ordering a margarita.
The restaurant's specialty is the torta, which is only available on Fridays and features a special green homemade sauce. Customers describe it as "off the chain," though some find it expensive for a single sandwich. The Churros are a must-try, with the Cajeta (Mexican dulce de leche with cinnamon sugar) and the pistachio-glazed options being particularly delightful. The Classic Hot Chocolate pairs perfectly with the pistachio churro, which is described as "nutty, sweet goodness."
The flavors at XOCO are fantastically deep, and the slow preparation of the meat is evident in the dishes. The decor is very Mexican, and customers recommend visiting the restaurant if you're in Chicago.
