“Estimados encargados de El Solazo: Espero este mensaje les encuentre bien. Me dirijo a ustedes como un cliente frecuente y admirador de su restaurante, en el cual siempre disfruto de una comida deliciosa y un servicio excepcional. Sin embargo, en mi última visita, experimenté una situación que considero importante señalar para su atención y mejora. El día de hoy, martes 26 de noviembre, llegué a cenar a las 8:45 pm confiando en la información publicada en sus redes sociales, donde claramente se especifica que el horario de cierre es a las 11:00 pm. No obstante, a las 9:30 pm ya se estaba anunciando el "último llamado" para bebidas alcohólicas. Además, durante mi estancia, fui testigo de cómo dos familias fueron rechazadas para cenar por el mismo motivo: el restaurante estaba cerrando antes de tiempo debido a "la falta de clientes". Entiendo que puedan surgir situaciones operativas, pero considero que este tipo de decisiones impacta negativamente en la experiencia de sus clientes. Cuando se anuncia un horario de cierre, los clientes planeamos nuestras visitas en base a esa información. De no ser posible mantener el horario anunciado, sería más transparente ajustarlo oficialmente en sus plataformas para que las personas puedan planear con anticipación y, en caso necesario, optar por otras opciones. Por último, quiero mencionar que esta inconformidad fue compartida con nuestra mesera, quien nos escuchó con amabilidad. Sin embargo, creo que esta situación requiere un ajuste desde la gerencia para evitar malentendidos en el futuro. Agradezco de antemano su atención a esta situación y espero que se tomen las medidas necesarias para garantizar que su excelente servicio sea consistente en todos los aspectos. Atentamente, Jesus Jesse Hernández“

“Casa Tulum is a vibrant and inviting restaurant known for its authentic Mexican and Yucatecan cuisine. The menu offers a variety of dishes, including tacos, ceviches, tamales, and other traditional specialties, all made with fresh ingredients and bold flavors.

Customers often enjoy the colorful and lively atmosphere, as well as the attentive and friendly staff. The restaurant is a great spot for casual dining with friends, family, or even a fun night out.

During busy times, there may be a short wait, but the quality and authenticity of the food make it worthwhile. Overall, Casa Tulum is a great choice for anyone looking to enjoy flavorful Mexican cuisine in a welcoming setting.“

“It’s really good, but there’s a lot of good carnitas in the neighborhood. I felt a little dumb ordering because it seemed like everyone else there’s knew exactly what they were doing except for me. No one was particularly helpful or in a good mood, even when we switched to Spanish. Also, you better REALLY like pork because that’s all there is, carnitas, chicharrones, tacos dorados. You should know what you’re getting into though if “carnitas” is in the name of the restaurant. The guacamole and salsa were really good. It’s a cool experience and everything was pretty good but I’m not really sure what makes this place so much more famous than the others around here.“

“My husband and I went for dinner in restaurant and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was fresh and delicious, and the best part was that the chef Sergio sent us a dessert he had created that day. La comida está deliciosa,fresca los tacos al pastor muy deliciosos el chef Sergio en el menú tiene tacos al la portabella deli deli 10 d 10 , el postre de pistacho 10 el servicio excelente muy a tencion d 10 . Una joya en Oaklawn Gracias Chef Sergio 👨‍🍳“

“De Luna Taco Grill is a must-try for taco enthusiasts in Pilsen! I stopped by for dinner and ordered the Volcano Steak Tacos—spicy poblano peppers, melted cheese, and perfectly grilled steak wrapped in a warm tortilla. Each taco was packed with flavor and had a nice kick. The staff was friendly, and the food came out hot and fresh. I spent around $20 for four tacos, which is a great deal. The only downside was the limited seating, but it's worth the visit. Highly recommend!“

“Man. If i can shout and recommend this spot from a rooftop I would. Can't stress just how amazing everything here is. If u want authentic mexican food THIS IS IT. Absolutely must try the mole. I felt like I walked in to someone's mexican mom's house and got fed. Polite service, beautiful and clean place, and just overall great food. I would just warn that they serve some type of curtido on their tacos not cilantro&cebolla !“

“Another excellent restaurant in Pilsen! The tuna tostada probably won best dish, but the octopus Sonoran dog won most interesting bite and something you won't find anywhere else. Our kids loved the plantain tacos so much that we got two orders of them and they ate them all before I would even have one! It is a bit pricy as the sizes are small, but I would say that all of the food was worth it.“

“Instead of chips and salsa, they serve free chicharrones with a selection of salsa, which were quite unique. The taco was loaded with delicious carnitas. Their menudo was on the plain side but full of tripe. The cactus salad offered a unique texture and refreshing taste. Their corn tortillas also have a strong corn flavor. Overall, this place lives up to its hype. You could also specify which part of the pig you want your carnitas from.“

“Muy rica la comida y buen trato“

“Pupusas! A Salvadoran/Honduran/Guatemalan dish older than a Chicago hot dog, italian beef, or deep dish, served in the heart of one of the many Mexican neighborhoods in Chicago. Personally, I have ordered the pupusas revueltas and they've been excellent. They will give any LA or DC pupuseria a run for its money. With their assortment of 6 sauces, aguacate bases for those seeking mild heat to habanero for those who want fire, Esperanza has you covered. A humble dining area with one of the cleanest bathrooms in the city, reggaeton and norteñas blasting from their TV, Esperanza is a bang-for-your-buck heavy hitter when it comes to price, portions, and customer service.“

“the best Taco of Al Pastor I've ever tried and phenomenal service . I'll be back !“

“Absolutely delicious food! 10/10. Will go back again & again. Had the vegetarian burrito with crema & the bistek a la Mexicana. Both delicious. Ate the flan quickly it was so good.“

“Fantastic authentic Mexican food. Highly recommended.“

“Carbon has been my favorite Mexican restaurant in Chicago for quite a few years. I don't live anywhere close to either location, but I gladly make the trek any time I get the Carbon crave. There hasn't been a single thing on the menu that I didn't like. Their steak is marinated/grilled to perfection and even their sides like their elote is fantastic. Their roasted red pepper sauce is one of the many things I HAVE to get when I visit. I'd buy it by the gallon if they'd let me!“

“Whenever my friends and family visit los comales no matter what the service and the food are unmatched. I like that the wait staff is knowledgeable about food items on the menu and their honest about prices and suggestions on how a meal can be filling and affordable at every restaurant. My friend and I walk in and immediately were given seating options on a night they were moderately busy, half full in the dining area we sat to eat in. The food came out hot and as expected halfway through our meals, a steak chimichanga oozing cheese and a carne asada con chilaquiles y queso, chef's kiss. We payed at the counter after packing leftovers in Styrofoam and plastic bags provided for us and again unmatched service that did not go without a tip for the server. Highly recommend this restaurant and Pilsen location. Keep up the good work.“

“La flautas queso fundido“

“Excelente servicio la mejor comida“

“I finally got to try Rubi’s on 18th and let me tell you. OMG! I do believe these are the BEST tacos, I've EVER had. The cashier was super nice and friendly, the food was fresh and there was a lot of it for the price. I can’t wait to go back already. I got 4 steak tacos, strawberry horchata, and guacamole and chips. Thank you guys! Monica Miranda! See you next time.“

“As Islanders living here, this place is a piece of of home. Onolicious grinds!“

“Darius and Ivan took great care of us. We had Jarabe bring a truck for a work event and everything was fabulous. We can't wait to work with you all again!“

“el servicio y la comida son frescas y fe primera calidad“

“Some of the best carnitas I've had in the city for sure. They were flavorful and the pieces selected were pretty good. I did ask for meat only(no skin,no stomach, etc) and I received some of the stuff I didn't want but all in all really good. I was taken care of promptly and efficient. The three start atmosphere rating is based on some standoffish behavior from the locals.“

“Great food … reasonable prices. One of your favorites“

“Está muy Rico!! Sé Los recomiendo al 💯%“

“My 3rd time there and had the Chile Relleno dinner.,the Best I ever tasted!!! The sauce they are in is so delicious and the peppers are so fresh and made perfect!

“Amazing food. Great and nice people. Had to get them for my wedding and everyone loved the tacos. I had some many people asking for their number 🔥🔥“

“I went here Sunday for lunch. The food and service was excellent. I had the steak and chorizo taco with rice and beans. Both tacos were filled with meat. Super good and filling. I highly recommend the apple pie. I got the dessert to go and it did not disappoint. It was the best apple pie I have ever had.“

“Amazing food!!! Fresh and crispy lettuce! With really delicious sauces as a bonus!! I personally think it's all about the sauces!!! Great service with friendly people working there!! I would highly recommend it. I will go back there for sure!👊💪“

From the hospitality to the ambiance and delicious food, you can't ask for more! We celebrated my husband's birthday and the team made his day feel extra special. Thanks Jose our waiter and the entire staff for your hospitality and generosity.“

“The food was delicious. The restaurant was very clean. Waitress was courteous. The only problem is it was uncomfortable eating as there was no fan for air circulation and it felt like no air conditioning.“

“this place was amazing! went on a Monday night after work with my boyfriend, it was my first time trying this place, his second. food came out super quick. i got a taco de asada, lengua and pastor. the flavor of each was delicious! the agua de piña was so refreshing and the horchata? outstanding. definitely recommend this place for delectable and quick service!! 🔥 thank you to the staff and our server who was very kind and knowledgeable of the menu 🙏🏼“
