David's Grill

I've always been curious about this place since I started coming into the area. Some days it looks pretty empty other days it is packed. Today it is one of the former. Coming in here you're greeted by the cashier. David's grill makes good use of the space... accomodating plenty of seating without sacrificing floor space. It is almost exclusively booths aside from the high chairs so prepare to enjoy your food with strangers. They have a wide selection on the menu arranging from traditional Mexican dishes to American cuisine and even Mediterranean food. The Mediterranean steak intrigued me even though the $14.99 price tag hints at the quality. As with every Mexican restaurant they welcome you with chips and salsa. The salsa itself is good, but the homemade chips are horrendous (most likely fried in very old oil.) The steak was ready in about 10 minutes. It comes with fries caramelized onions, garlic bread and a salad. The portions are great so you won't have to worry about leaving hungry at David's grill. There's a lack of an even crust on the steak and you can tell they cooked it as of it were fajita strips (flipping it a bunch of times, probably not searing it, etc.) which is why it is unevenly cooked. The steak isn't evenly seasoned either, with some parts having too much seasoning while others have too little.

I have a secret... I love hole-in-the-wall taco joints. This love started in college when I used to eat at this random spot downtown called GnG's, which was a diner/ taco joint. You could get amazing tacos and French toast. That spot closed over ten years ago, but you know what's still around and kept me satisfied? David's Grill!! I love this place. It's right on the corner of Cermak and Halsted, and the best part is its parking lot. Yes, the food is what you expect from a taco diner, but it is perfect for a quick meal. I have eaten their breakfast as well, and it's pretty competitive with significant restaurants. Also, the prices are fair as well. You can eat like a king for 20 bucks. For this particular meal, I got a simple two-steak taco with lettuce, tomato, sour cream and beans with a side of fries and a coffee, which tasted as I expected and thoroughly enjoyed. I am writing this review because I want to see more spaces like this get their flowers. The fast, reliable sit-down stop was not the prettiest, but I had a lot of love for the execution. If you want something quick and near Halsted and Cermak, David's Grill is a good choice.

Great spot just 5 minutes away from the south loop. An ole school breakfast spot that also has Mexican food served all hours. I am a corned beef hash and eggs guy and I love this spot! Always fresh and hot and great service! Will update when I try the other items on the menu

Suppose to go to next door for breakfast, but no parking space, saw this restaurant with a large parking lot, so might as well give it a try. The place is ok, seating area is decent, the Spanish speaking lady is very nice. Their ham, eggs, omelette, hash browns are surprisingly good, cooked just right, not oily or greasy. Their salsa is good too. Wanted to try their gyros but too bad no more rooms for that. May be next time.

This place has great food! Try the gyros really nicely seasoned gyro meat...fries and a can soda...this definitely is a hidden gem in the Pilsen area. The young lady that took my order Ana is very polite and professional. Very fine looking beautiful young lady . I highly recommend this place.

Pretty good spot to grab a bite in Pilsen.Im on the Chicago River alot.Out here boating and fishing.This place is conveniently located and tgeir food is good.Last time I came here they even had CONCHAS for dessert so I had one with coffee after I maxxed my burrito.THUMBS UP!!!

Can't complain about the food, but there has been many Covid violations here. Can't believe OSHA hasn't fined them. Won't be coming here anymore

This place is a hidden gem. The food is always delicious, the service superb and the staff super friendly. If you want outstanding food at a great price you must come here.

my boyfriend and i have been here a few times and each time the waitress is kind and attentive. the food is good and the prices are great. the place is a bit outdated though. good place to get some quick eats. don't expect a nice fancy restaurant either lol Their menudo is good and doesn't stink or have a strong taste.

I picked up a gyro. It was dry. The flies is good. But the lady, may be the owner, was not polite. She would not look at me when she spoke. No thank you after I thank her. Rude.
