Best tacos in Evanston, hands down! Great cocktails and mocktails. Nice artwork. Friendly staff. Nothing corporate about this place--Piloto and company's vision for a friendly, tasty neighborhood restaurant continues to mature.

Opentable Diner

This is not our first time at this wonderful place. The Owner Pilotos-and his Team are fabulous. His Mother's Mole recipe is wonderful. We love the artwork displayed. Reasonable prices. We highly recommend this place

David

Best mexican in Evanston, and not even close. Great ambiance. Great cocktails, and so reasonably priced.

Rick

The food was excellent. great variety, creative preparations, very accommodating of food allergies, friendly service, inviting atmosphere, and very reasonable prices

Christopher

The flavors were great in general. However, the salsa was essentially tomato sauce and a big disappointment. The guacamole needed some garlic or green onion or salt. The only other problem was the salad had very little (if any) dressing. The tacos and the special quesadillas were great. Service was good. Overall, good enough that we will be back.

Gail

Aviva

This place is exactly what Evanston needed: authentic-tasting food from Oaxaca, Mexico in a casual, friendly, colorful, and artistic atmosphere. Service and food is outstanding and it's priced appropriately. I love Zentli.

This “secret” won't be kept for long. Hands down one of the best dining experiences around.

Best tacos I’ve ever had, I highly recommend the steak taco. Love that they offer some delicious vegan options as well (nopales and mushroom). The atmosphere is lovely with original art and the service is great. Such a gem!

Amazing tacos. Really amazing taste. A little small for the price though. I'm skinny and I could eat 10 of them and they are like 7 dollars a pop. But really really tasty. Def worth a try
