Kite String Cantina

Great kind of hidden place on Addison. It's far away from all that Wrigley crap. Kite String is in a little more quieter area with still a lot going on. Has amazing drinks. The food is not to be missed, and even though it's prepackaged to go, you can still eat here. As the name of it says, it's a cantina. It therefore has lots of drinks. There's quite a few to choose from. It's about $12 for the cheapest cocktails. Paloma was the best of these. It's made with Corazon. The food was all in the reach in cooler, in to go containers but it's made on site. It's about $10 for the taquitos, of which you get a few. The Butternut Al Pastor is one of the ones okay for vegans. Soft and spicy on the inside. These are filled with the butternut squash along with adobo, onions, and pineapple. Come for the drinks and might as well try some of the food. It's made to go but you can still eat here. There's many options including nachos and taquitos that are good for vegans and vegetarians.

Honestly this should be a five star place.The food is great and the drinks are fun (they aren't superb but I like their selection) plus they have a great selection of local beers. The place is really aesthetically pleasing - equal parts divey and hipster, without feeling inauthentic. And the service is good too! Been here twice and both times the bartenders were kind, informed, and attentive.Unfortunately the only downside of this place is the crowd. The first time I went, I was alone and the only person in there. It was fine but it almost felt like they were closed. The second time was for Metal Horror Bingo. First of all, the people who showed up for that were totally boring, and secondly the event itself moved sooooo slow. It was just not the vibe.

Great neighborhood spot! Staff is always friendly and conversational, the taquitos are the PERFECT bar snack, and they have a decent selection of drinks!

Just a casual corner bar with excellent food and quiet ambience. Bartender is good, but he sticks to the bar. So if you sit at a table you need to go up for anything you need.

My friend and I came in here on a Saturday around 2pm and it was warm out so they had the windows open which is my favorite time in Chicago as it is so I was in a good mood. The bartender working was SO friendly so we really vibes out here. We also loved our Paloma drinks. I had been eyeing this place since moving to Chicago so I'm glad I finaaaally got to try it. We also ordered chips and this vegan avocado dip and it was pretty good considered it wasn't actually made back in the kitchen (already prepared in containers and bags for orders). Will be back at some point!

Live close by and have recently made two visits and really enjoyed myself. Clean well designed interior and super friendly bar staff. Had a tasty and spicy pineapple drink out of their bubbler that was perfect. I had the Tortilla Chips with a Tomatillo Avocado Salsa and the Poblano Pork Taquitos. Well prepared and really flavorful. Fun spot with a casual vibe. Will be back.

great options for people with celiac disease, the nacho sauce they are known for making is legendary even if you're not vegan

Casual place with great drinks and tasty taquitos to snack on! We will definite return.

Killer drinks + great attitude & perfect Roscoe neighborhood vibe. Don't shy away from the taquitos & salsa.

Great drinks, food, service, and ambiance. Lucas was the best. Highly recommend to anyone in the area
