In town for the Lions game at Soldier field and we had some time to kill before our hotel room was ready, and thought…… margaritas?
The answering was an overwhelming YES!!!!! So we made our way by foot & pulled up to a table & were greeted immediately.
Service. I’m not sure what defines good service for you, for me it’s when I feel like I’m at the servers house and they are being a great host. Once I have drinks in front of me, and I can forget I’m at a restaurant as a patron not an employee, is when I enjoy myself the most.
This restaurant had great food, service & vibe. Margaritas were strong, fool had soul & this lunch was a moment our family will remember for decades. Thanks for your hospitality & keep up the good work.
I’ve come to La Cantina Grill a few times, and usually, the food is spot on. This last time I went, the food just didn’t hit the same, but it was still good. We got mini chimichangas, regular chimichanga, mole veggie enchiladas, and veggie fajitas, and all of them were good. I also got the stuffed quesadillas, but they messed up our order twice, which was frustrating. The staff was super apologetic about it and fixed it, but it just took so long for them to get it right. The restaurant is pretty small and gets very loud during prime lunch and dinner times - I’d recommend making a reservation! I’ll be back since the food is excellent, but not during prime time!
Very pretty mid sized restaurant with great staff and fantastic food! The best part is the abundance of vegan and veterinarian options! Great margaritas. All around a fantastic experience. We will definitely be back
Great service and vibes with affordable prices. The Michelada was full of flavor and huge for $12. The tacos meal for $14 with 3 tacos, rice and beans.
THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! Spent a week in Chicago and this was BY FAR the best food we had. Service was great and friendly while the atmosphere was authentic. Great whole in the wall!
Wonderful atmosphere and staff was very greeting along with super friendly and helpful when deciding what to order. The chips and salsa were delicious. Wife ordered the chicken tinga tacos and I ordered the Al Pastor tacos recommended by the staff. They were superb and very happy I did! We both washed it down with a total of 4 large margaritas made with Don Julio that tasted wonderful. If ever back in Chicago will definitely revisit. Obviously with the alcohol and meal pushing well into a $100+ for two.
Do. Not. Skip. This was the best food we had in our 5 days in Chicago. Dinner under $20, exceptionally accommodating of dietary restrictions. Presentation was jaw dropping, atmosphere was relaxed.

Came here for my birthday lunch with my mom and I loved my time here! This seems like a very lowkey Mexican spot and I love that! I will be back as the food was well seasoned (you don’t even need a salsa!) The drinks were well made as well!
Incredible chips and salsa. Service is exceptionally fast. In fact, the fastest I have ever had in any restaurant. Extensive Vegan and vegetarian menu. Good margaritas. Sadly no beer on draft. Very good flan. In fact one of the best places to eat near McCormick convention center.
Some of the best Mexican food that I have ever had. Great service, food and atmosphere. Highly recommend.
