American Restaurant · Bucktown · 67 tips and reviews
Lura Mccrary: The sliders, the shrimp, the short ribs, and the pork chops (with the chipotle sauce) are amazing, but the bread pudding is orgasmic!
Smitch: Fantastic cocktails - get the moscow mule or the champagne/angostura bitters combo. Amazing food - highlights were the lamb popsicles, steak tartare and fried manchego cheese balls.
Time Out Chicago: Drawing Room vet Tim Lacey resurfaces at this David Morton/Michael Kornick hideaway. Read more.
Clare Duggan: Homemade Mexican from family recipes. Best fish taco ever, with heavenly chipotle sauce. Or try enchiladas with Rosa's mole or poblano sauce. Every serving made to order. Fresh AND local!!
Nia Moreno: Chile relleno tacos are really tasty! Get a cup of horchata to drink with your meal. Great prices and friendly staff!
Keith Lewis: Turkey tacos are out of this world. Different and VERY flavorful.

Megan: This place is amazing! So yum! Great margaritas and the guac is de-lish!
Joseph Najera: Great authentic Mexican food and the best Margarita (not a pre-made sugar mix) and cocktails on the North side!! Ask Ardit to make you the awesome whiskey sour with pulque, and don't forget to tip!
Autumn Choi: A bit pricey but worth it- really good enchiladas, salsa, and margaritas
Keri Harvey: Great place to go lunch during the work week. Good veggie options!

Serious Eats: La Encantada serves an elegantly executed Mexican-style ceviche, with shrimp, tomato, and avocado uniformly chopped into tiny bites and filled in with plenty of cilantro and purple bits of onion.
shane taylor: Terrific food! Family owned with an upscale presentation at non-upscale prices. Vegetarian friendly! Wish they still had the hongos.

Brian Storts: I know it's a chain, but I went twice to Yolk on this trip (two different locations). I love their chicken and waffles (first time), and eggs benedict (today). Great last meal before a flight!
Albert L: Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, French toast. Everything was done to perfection in the 2x2x2x2 meal. No kidding. Great location for business at Ogilvie. Bright ambience.
Scott Kleinberg: Excellent service, excellent food and excellent coffee. Can't go wrong with that.

Mexican Restaurant · Lake View East · 40 tips and reviews
John Souther: Margaritas, fajitas, enchiladas and steak tacos are all excellent.
Adam Twersky: Ask for the vegan menu
Dev Dugal: Food was good, not great. Chicken fajitas cooked well with seasoning. Sodas were waaaay under carbonated. So basically syrup. PLUS - they don't honor their foursquare special after you check-in!
