Had a terrible seat and was looked at funny when I asked to sit at another table (which ended up also a bad table, in the corner). Had to wait a long time for a server to take our order. The guac is extremely overpriced and the carnitas tacos weren’t very good. My tostada was completely burnt and the cheese on it did not go well with it. Have been there twice and both times it has disappointed. The churro sundae was pretty good though, would recommend that. The overall atmosphere just isnt too great, felt pretty uncomfortable the entire time

The food was delicious! The service was great as well.
Some of the best tacos I've ever had, i had the Oxancan fish. The horchada was amazing too.Parking: Street parking is often full because of the area's popularity, paid parking lots are not cheap but close by.

Quaint place, good food with a simple menu. No reservations, just walk up & form a line outside when busy. The line was about 8-10min for 2. Once seated, we sat at the high-top bar. I tried the barbacoa braised goat, & the fully dressed guac (comes with the salsa). It was delicious!

We were on a hot chocolate crawl and Xoco’s house ground offerings were unique and remarkably good. Well done Xoco!
Good lunch special with a half torta and a soup or salad. Food was delicious and the service was great. FYI: The tip already included on the bill.

4.5. For a mini Bayless experience, it’s tough to beat. Quick service restaurant, with very high quality tortas & tacos. 1/2 torta & side lunch special was a great lunch. Cubana torta & tortilla soup were high quality, great flavors, well prepared. Quick service. Highly

Dynamite torta. Best I've ever had. Average dining experience and slower than average staff. The food is among the best Mexican you can find in Chicago but don't expect a fun dining experience, it's pretty low key but expect to wait in line for a table most days.

The food is good but the place is a little expensive. Maybe anything other than a hamburger, dog and pizza will cost you a fortune ?
