The staff and service were very nice and personable. This is the first Mexican restaurant we have experienced where there was a charge for chips and salsa. The chips were quite obviously not that recently made with little taste. The salsa was OK. The food was somewhat problematic. One of our orders was returned because it arrived at a cool room temperature when it should've been a hot mole. They replaced it, but at that point it had been over-cooked to a char. It was difficult to cut. The other was also overcooked and somewhat difficult to cut.  So, ultimately OK, but unlikely to visit again.

We went to Zentli on a Sunday evening. The ambience was welcoming and the waitstaff friendly and helpful. We ordered vegan food which was fresh, delicious and filling. My husband thought the Zentli Salad was excellent. We both had tacos (Nopales, zetas and verduras). We shared the vegan dessert, plantains with a vegan caramel cream sauce, which was quite tasty. We will return , perhaps for a weekend brunch.

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.

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

I met an artist here for an artist talk, the owner is also an artist. The atmosphere is artsy and low-key, not to mention the food was really good.
