Raizes Mexican Cocktail Bar & Kitchen

Huge, delicious tacos that came out hot and quick. The shrimp tacos were perfectly crispy. The steak tacos were my favorite and my son liked chicken tacos best, but everything we tried was great. The margarita was perfect. And the salsa had just the right amount of heat. The place is nice while still having a casual decor. It would be perfect for a casual date night. We took our older kids and enjoyed dinner at a table. (The stools have no backs, so I wouldn't bring younger kids.) We're definitely going back soon.

My friend and I went here the other day and we really enjoyed the service and atmosphere. The food was delicious and drinks were super yummy!! I loved the decor and had a really good time! We will return again!

We finally tried this place after it changed names. The food and cocktails are delicious. I had the shrimp, sweet potato, and cauliflower tacos. Great presentation on the Churro Con Cafe and it was tasty. We will be back.

Love the ambience, service, food, and drinks!! You have to come check this place out! So festive!

My husband and I were in the area and popped in last night out of curiosity because Mexican is our fave, and we're so glad we did. It's a perfect spot with a Michelin-trained chef and bartender, and the drinks are excellent and so reasonably priced. I've been raging against $15-$17 cocktails that are mediocre at so many Chicago restaurants. Louis' margaritas are some of the best you'll have (I am an insufferable snob about margaritas, I promise I know what I'm talking about), and are $10 (other bartenders note: this is what a classic cocktail should cost). The crispy shrimp taco was my fave, my husband loved the fish taco (they were all great). I hugely appreciate his vision to bring a small menu of classic Mexican fare to the area - Raizes translates to roots, and Louis talked about the importance to bring authentic Mexican food out in his restaurant. Well done.

I just found my goto margarita bar! This place is truly something special. There is definitely a lot of passion behind the varios tequila and mezcal creations. I can't wait to be back! Please realize that it is incredibly difficult to find this caliber of quality margaritas for only $10. This place is perhaps the best margarita bar in Chicago.

Such a great spot. The drinks were amazing and creative and the tacos were delicious. Luis makes everything homemade. From the cocktail syrups to the tortillas. He was a lot of fun to talk to and has a great and diverse culinary background. We cannot wait to go back.

I was pleasantly surprised by the food here. We got a burrito bowl and a steak quesadilla. Both were fresh and high quality. The steak didn't have any of the tough/chewy pieces that are all too common at many places. The service was friendly and our food was brought to us quickly after ordering at the counter. I wouldn't hesitate to return if I was in the area.

Five stars for the best $10 classic margarita in the city. The bartender was friendly too.

I went to this cocktail bar a few nights ago with a friend. We loved it! Margaritas were fresh and delicious as were the tacos and esquites. But most of all the service the service was efficient and friendly. And a welcoming atmosphere as well. A great place! We'll be back soon. Nancy G
