Su Casa Restaurant

We are visiting from Texas and gotta say the food and Maria's service is OUTSTANDING!! Classic hole on the wall vibe nice decor. Drinks are great as well !

I recently visited this Mexican restaurant that has a prime location in River North. We went there for dinner and found it to be quite disappointing. The ambiance featured typical Mexican interiors, but unfortunately, the cleanliness was lacking--tables and floors were noticeably dirty. The service was another letdown; it was extremely slow, and the server seemed uninterested and unfriendly.The food quality was also underwhelming. The salsa had a strong taste of spoiled tomatoes, which was quite off-putting. While the guacamole was decent, the fajitas and enchiladas were just okay. The tacos had an odd smell and didn't seem fresh.

Authentic feel with an interesting history. Came here on a Friday at 6:30 and it was quick to get seated with a part of 4. Free chips and salsa for each table. Enjoyed the chicken fajitas and it was plenty to take leftovers home. A friend got the chicken enchiladas and thought they were good but was a little disappointed at the portion. Overall great experience, great prices, and great service.

I saw the reviews for Su Casa and was a little worried at first because the reviews varied from loving to strongly disliking Su Casa. I fall on the loving spectrum! Ambiance - the exterior AND interior, contrary to a review I read, are quite unique. The restaurant is set in a 19th-century carriage house, and the ambiance as such reflects that character. It is not a modern, small plate, fine dining experience, but that's what makes it so great. The salsa that comes with the chips is spicy, flavorful, and bold. We ordered a queso as well, and it perfectly hit the spot. My fiancé got the chicken fajitas, which he would recommend but does say they weren't mind blowingly different, but were perfect for what we wanted that night - really good (and as close to authentic in our area) Mexican food. I thoroughly enjoyed my cheese and onion enchiladas - very large portion size and the sauce was DELICIOUS. Overall, this restaurant was very casual, relaxed, and delicious. Don't go here expecting to have something different and modern, but go for a warm hug of comfort food.

I was craving Mexican food so I asked the gentleman at the hotel where I can find Mexican food. They warned me not to go to this place but I decided to give them a chance and I regret it so much! I was so disappointed with their "Mexican food". It was plain, cold and just not it. I suggest going else where unless you want to leave with a sad face like me.

In Chicago from Los Angeles for a wedding and Su Casa was a few steps away from our hotel. Good looking restaurant with pleasant ambience but the food was inedible. Maybe we've been spoiled by the magnificent Mexican restaurants in L.A. but this was beyond belief. We were served luke-warm food that was 3 clicks under Stouffer's frozen dinners. Older staff was tired and uncaring. How they've managed to survive since 1963 I'll never know but lesson learned: Read the Yelp reviews and (sorry Chicago) stick to deep dish pizza, Garrettpopcorn, and Chicago hot dogs when visiting the windy city.

While visiting in Chicago we ate at Su Casa Restaurant and had the queso fundido. It was very well made and our server Margarita was very pleasant and welcoming us to Chicago for our first time. Thank you for making our eating experience at this location very good.

Ambience was perfect for our search of a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant. Staff were kind and attentive, and the food was great!

Best chicken fajitas ever. Excellent food and value. My son also loved the fajitas and quesadillas. Must stop and check out this jem. Also loved the music:)

My family have been going here over 40 years Sad to see the decline in service I was there last night July 24 8 ish not busy at allI said at the bar, the bartender said what would you like? I said, a glass of water and a margarita water never came. I ordered food never offered chips and salsa, which is usually a staple and comes automatically. I finish my food. She took my plate away never checked on me. See if I need anything else. How was the food , just stood there at the bar with the waitress took my plate away dropped off my check I said are you closing? She said no I said do I need to leave? I was gonna order something else. I was hungry maybe another margarita and appetizer she said, do you want chips and salsa she said you want so I said never mind.Zero service gets zero tip I'll never go back
