May be one of my new favorite spots. Stopped by on a whim, on my way to another local neighborhood bar for drinks. I found fun vibrant decor, a cozy atmosphere, and friendly helpful staff. My prickly pear margarita and jicama salad were quite tasty and reasonably priced. Looking forward to going back and trying more items from the menu!

I’ve visited this place in different occasions with friends for brunch. Definitely enjoy the food and the drinks! The only downside about this place, is the inattentive service you might receive from staff if you’re a young adult. My friends and I usually leave at least a 20% tip but that doesn’t seem to make a difference every time we go back. We’ve had occasions during which the place was not busy and we still didn’t get ketchup or a water refill until towards the end of our meal. Other than that the food and drinks are great!

The Diablo burger is probably my favorite burger in all of Chicago. The cocktails - particularly the Mango con Chile - are excellent. Their tacos are also fantastic. The whole staff is awesome; super friendly and attentive. New favorite spot in Pilsen!

Fantastic place. Brought a lot of friends and family over just because of how delicious and high quality the food and service has been. Lately however they're bringing erotic dancers and Dj's and its just such a stray from what I've come to associate with them that I no longer understand what they're striving to define themselves as. If that's your thing, that's fine but it's not mine. If that was it still 4 stars but i recently went back and ...
There seems to be a turnover in which new faces were apparent that were less attentive. Fair enough but consistency is definitely something a restaurant experience should have but that's only a problem for older customers.
Now the cocktails have really been suffering, where before they were full of flavor, are now just watered down imitations.
I heard it's a new owner so that would explain a lot amongst other problems i won't name. Just really don't feel like coming back anymore and just a good tip; definitely keep your receipts.
Food was still pretty good at least there's that.

The Bloody Mary was tasty, especially with the serrano infused tequila, they garnish it with lime, a slice of cucumber, several peppers, a sweet pickle, and a mound of fried onion, it was delicious. The Torta Cochinito Pibil was well seasoned, as well as the diced potatoes. My only complaint is they don't have much of a variety of dishes, but their drink menu is creative any plenty of different beers, mixed drinks, and specialty cocktails.

Love everything we ordered. Great service. Minus one star because the fries and calamari is a bit on the soggy side. Maybe that's their style or it's because their fryer was not hot enough. I'll definitely come back.

Great new takes on familiar-sounding dishes and really friendly service combine for a fantastic dining experience! The prices are very reasonable and the portions are big. The brunch is FANTASTIC. If you’re on the fence, TRY THIS PLACE!
