“The best carne asada dinner and the best carne asada tacos I’ve had in a long time! Tender and tasty and excellent homemade corn tortillas!“

“I Came to leave a review and Excuse me for contradicting them, but if they knew about food they would know What they are saying.The one with the nachos looks like he ate them So I'm not sure what he means! The person who says that he does not recommend the place is not even a customer of restaurant la chilanguita.
But just a driver by his review.
And the person with the Menudo dish who says that it is expensive,I think doesn't take into account that everything is Expensive now a day?“

“BEST TACOS IN CHICAGO“

“Outstanding! Highly recommended Knowledgeable, friendly staff and incredible experience“

“I loved to food here, I found the place one TikTok I personally do recommend the food especially the shrimp burrito, ts was bomb ngl it was so good especially with the salsas that they have complimented it so well, I also recommend the tripa tacos I loved them and they didn’t over cook it nor undercooked it, overall the service was good and the staff was every kind, if you go here be ready to be mind blown with the food, I do say you have to go here with time because the food is freshly made.“

“the food is always delicious and service is always so kind! I've ordered something different each visit and have never been disappointed! margaritas are great too! love this place so much!“

“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“

“Great food/drinks Great service Great prices We will be back.“

“Vibrant, thoughtful, and delicious! My mom and I had such a fun time eating at Mirra. We had never tried Mexican-Indian food before, and now we can't wait to try the rest of the menu! All the dishes were creative, with well-balanced flavors, textures, and fresh ingredients. We enjoyed both vegetarian and meat/fish dishes, and the wine, mocktails, and desserts were wonderful as well. Our favorites were the squash, sopecitos, and the natilla. Our server, Eddie, was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable; he went out of his way to introduce us to one of the chefs/owners, Rishi, who was such a pleasure to talk to and learn from about the restaurant. One of the most memorable and exciting meals we've had in a while! We hope to come back very soon.“

“I highly recommend Manchamanteles Restaurant! My dining experience was exceptional from start to finish. The food was outstanding, with each dish expertly prepared and presented. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. I will definitely be returning when in town!“

“Tacos con sazón muy buenos . Y servicio excelente. Precio justo .“

“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 👨‍🍳“

“Birria muy buena y Ahora tienen TACOS de Machitos y es de lo mejor que eh probado 💯% , Te mantienen bien atendido todo el tiempo“

“Lonesome Rose is one of the most underrated spots in Chicago in my opinion. I’ve never had a bad experience here. This is an ideal brunch destination as I think they have the best breakfast burrito in town. Perfectly packed, holds together well, and the queso dip on the side compliments it so well.

Their biscuits and gravy and fish tacos would be my other top choices. Well worth checking out!“

“Oooooorale’! We found another hidden gem! (Well not really hidden, lol) este restaurante está riquísimo! For all of you non-Spanish speakers, this place is delicious! It looks small from the outside, but it’s enormous in flavor! It’s a very cute and nicely decorated place. Staff is incredibly nice and helpful. But the food… it rocks! We ordered the Orden de Quesobirria and a Carne en su Jugo and a Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus water) and a Horchata (rice water). The Carne stew was delicious! So many levels of flavors. The birria was fantastic! Levels and levels of flavor. Will definitely be back for the Menudo this weekend. See you all here!“

“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.“

“the best food in town 😋😋😋“

“Muy rica la comida y buen trato“

“Needed to kill time while my girlfriend's car was being worked on...we saw this place and decided to stop for breakfast.
This is one of those moments where wonder happens when you least expect it!
The diner counter style seating let's you watch all the action. The, obviously, fresh ingredients that were being piled upon my giant tortilla were becoming a Mt Everest size stack and made me wonder if the chef could possibly wrap it up into a breakfast burrito.
She did...and it was amazing!
I could only eat one half.
Air was enormous whilst only carrying an 11.00 USD price tag.
Absolutely outrageous!

I wholeheartedly recommend Santa Masa!

BTW... everyone was so kind and full of smiles.“

“The BEST Chili Rellanos I've had in a long time! yummy 😋. The skinny margaritas aren't bad either. A MUST visit Restaurant. Thank you for living up to and beyond my expectations.“

“I came here to experience the business and food side! Definitely enjoyed Jose the owner. Very welcoming and the food matched the vibes.

MY FAVORITE I’ve tried is the CHICKEN TINGA TACO 🗣️🗣️🗣️ Will be back to try the Shrimp Tacos & Surf-n-Turf Tacos.“

“I’ve been coming here for a very long time and I’ve got to say, I never get tired of the food. Once you walk in, you get this nice quaint and cozy atmosphere and a nice aroma of that Mexican cuisine. You can’t go wrong with the agua frescas because they are out of this world and always taste homemade. The horchata is unlike any I’ve ever tasted (in a good way) and each sip from the agua de maracuya made from passion fruit is a genuinely splendid. I got the Torta and lemme tell you, it was one of the best tortas I’ve ever bitten, the carne is nice and juicy while also seared to perfection, and along with the freshly picked ingredients. I also got the Nacho fries which were very nice and dedicate (but make sure to eat with a fork). The service is always nice and very welcoming. This restaurant checks off all the boxes and it’s surprising that it has not earned a Michelin star, yet. Onions & Cilantro is one of the best Mexican Restaurante in not only buck town but in all of Chicago itself.“

“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 !“

“😋 muy deliciosa la comida buen servicio les doy 5 estrellas muy recomendado“

“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.“

“Excellent food! Menu is extensive and seasonal to a particularly high standard. Definitely fine dining. It can be pricey to some, but worth it and they do different deals on different nights so it’s worth checking them out. If this venue was in the #Pilsen area, you would def need a month or two reservations. The chef is #Michelin rated – say no more. Highly recommended. Next time in Chi-town I would def make this a stop. #exceptional #FineDiningMexican“

“This one beautiful place I will be coming back“

“Amazing food and service!!!! Also call ahead for their sushi menu which is delicious ❤️❤️❤️“

“The ONLY bad thing about this taqueria is how long it took me to realize #1 how close it was to my house, and #2 how DELICIOUS all of their food is!!!

This last summer I couldn't wait to sneak out of the house for a quick taco and a good book and their cute little patio section, which I did every chance I got. The staff are all super sweet. They are a cash only establishment.

My three go-to tacos are:
#1- The Texano - Shrimp cooked with chorizo with cabbage.... the shrimp is always fresh and tasty, and never rubbery
#2 - The Arriero - Steak, black beans, peppers, cheese, and nopales, all a perfect combination with one another!
#3 - The Happy Taco - Pork with onions, jalapenos, and zucchini

My husband loves their burritos, but I almost ALWAYS get one, two, or all three of these options when I go. Two tacos generally fill me up because they do a great job of not skimping on ingredients. The inside sit down area is very small, and looks like it could maybe accommodate 3 people at the window area. Still a perfect to-go spot when it's cold. I know I saw another location not too far away, so I'm curious to check them out as well. I usually walk over, but parking finding street parking doesn't seem to be a huge problem either.“

“Best I have had in a long time! Fantastic“

“Service was great, food fresh and delicious. A little cramped but that didn't stop us from enjoying some delicious food. Salsa was spicy and we loved that. Horchata was authentic and that's rare in restaurants nowadays. Definitely recommend.“

“Cannot say enough positives about this mexican food and seafood place . If you love a fun family atmosphere as well as mariscos ,which are my personal choice of food here this is the place for you. Ive been a frequent visitor since it has opened and the food is top notch .From the owners to the staff they will make you feel welcomed and will serve you with great vibes and care. This place also serves great drinks and always hosts great events so if you are in the area or even outside the area this is a must try . Best langostinos around!!“

“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 🔥🔥“

“Mejor birria que yo comido“

“Unique outlay of the restaurant, and a lovely salsa when you first sit down!!! Haven’t had warm salsa in a long time. I was also delighted with the cup of soup before the meal!!! Everything about our visit was fantastic. I’m especially glad to support businesses like this one.“

“Used to come here younger years after hard night of drinking, food was great then and today after all these years later.“
