I enjoyed my time here. Came to visit on a host Saturday evening without reservations and we were seated immediately (on the patio, too!). Our servers promptly checked in and offered water. The patio was surprisingly loud for an open-air space (noise from other groups felt amplified). After ordering, it took a while for the food to come out, but the order was correct and delicious.I felt that the portion size for nachos was a bit small, but still tasted great.Mole is SO GOOD here :)

First time here, and it was pretty quiet for 5pm on a Saturday. We ordered 2 sodas, an appetizer, and two entrees. It had good taste, but it was not anything memorable. I would give it 4 stars if the price point was a bit lower. The portion sizes for the entrees were sufficient, but the chips and salsa appetizer was small.

I'm beyond grateful for having stumbled upon this gem! This inside is absolutely gorgeous!!!! Music is at a perfect volume and the service that was provided was perfect!!! The food!!!! THE FOOD!!! D E L I C I O U S!!!!! Every single bite was just so mouth watering and full of flavor!!! Shrimp was NOT over or under cooked! It was literally perfect. We order total of 3 tacos and ended up getting 4 more because of how delicious they were. The tequila flight was a bit much for me, only because of the Smokey flavors it was giving but my honey loved it!! But the jalapeño drink was the bomb!! The bartender was very good with her mixes.Only issue I had was the ridiculous parking! Ugh... it's Chicago parking for you though! I had to pay $7.50 for three hours then had to go and pay again and again because we ended up staying on that street and the max was 3hours but there was literally no parking anywhere went over and bomb! got a darn ticket for $60 ( crying inside). But other than this, the restaurant in whole is just amazing and beautiful place and full of mouth watering flavors.

Its fine, and the patio is nice, but $28 for an extra large frozen margarita is crazy for a super casual joint.

I'm a Californian. My love for spicy margaritas and fresh salsa is endless. I crave the closest thing to the border. The spicy margarita included fresh jalapeño and lime juice. The salsa and mole are solid. The suggestion is more cilantro in the pico de gallo!Our waiter was the owner of the restaurant. The owner is from Mexico City, Mexico. Each dish is authentic and made with fresh ingredients. The owner provided the list of ingredients in the mole and how the mole is prepared. Fabulous!The ambiance is good. They offer Indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is quiet and clean. The indoor seating is cool with beautiful Spanish artwork on the walls. I didn't snap photos because my phone was dead Highly recommend!

This was my first visit and I haven't had the best luck with finding good, authentic Mexican food and great margaritas. Though it's a small restaurant the atmosphere is calm with beautiful Hispanic art showing culture and nice music to listen to in the background. Though a Cadillac Margarita was not on the menu it was requested and the server knew how to prepare it. There was an array of tacos to select and I was able to select corn or flour tortillas. I tried the Shrimp taco, Chicken tinga no queso, Costillas en salsa verde. My favorite was the costillas en salsa verde the meat was tender and the salsa was perfect. The avocado on my shrimp taco was the freshest veggie I've had in months. The prices were pretty good for a Chicago spot so I will be back tomorrow!

Our night began trying to go to Fernando's. Closed. On our way to Mas Alla I double checked. Closed.Cescas has been on our yet list (as an haven't tried it yet. "Bucket list" is such a depressing term. I prefer to be hopeful ). Don't forget to ask for a spoon to scoop out strawberry pieces from their delicious margaritas in the rocks.With more than two people of the mini burritos would be a lovely appetizer.My husband and I need a food show to highlight places like Cescas. To "Neil Diamond, so good, so good, so good!

My friend and I really enjoyed the outdoor patio and the food selection. However, the margaritas are not the best. We ordered classic lime margaritas and they tasted very artificial like sweet and sour mix or cheap margarita mix. Very good food but we wanted to switch to beer because of that. I definitely recommend eating there on a sunny day with a nice cold beer.

I cannot say enough good things about this place! I get the same thing every time I go because I just can't help it. The fresh made tamarind margarita is outstanding! I have tried a lot of their tacos, but my absolute favorites are the rajas con queso, the chorizo, and especially the pollo con mole. The best mole I've ever had! The depth of flavor is amazing. In addition to the tacos, I highly recommend the steak enchiladas with the mole. The ambience is great with the Spanish music playing. The patio is amazing but even sitting inside when it's cold out, is still a nice vibe. The staff are always friendly and easy-going and drinks and food get delivered pretty quickly. I love this place in my neighborhood and visit as often as I can!
