Benjamin Morgan: The pollo diablo sandwich is flippin fantastic!
Alejandro Enriquez: Pollo Diablo! Nuff said!
So Lux Med Spa: Of all the neighborhood cafés in Chicago, this one holds a special place in my heart. Try the "Pollo Diablo," and remember this it's cash only! (A stop by the ATM is worth it, promise).
Adrian Galli: Try the Diablo's Tacos. Ultra traditional and very good.
Jim A.: This is one of the most amazing values in Chicago. The food, atmosphere, and service are impeccable for the prices charged. I came for the breakfast and it was sumptuous.
John Amundsen: Fancy but cozy cafe and restaurant in the Gold Coast. The scones are buttery deliciousness.
Katie Waters: Everything is great here. The shrimp diablo (spicy), the green enchiladas are one of my favorites, and a big fat tasty burrito. YOU HAVE TO GET THE SALSA VERDE WITH CHIPS!
Exavier Pope: Wow this place is cheap, delicious, and a hidden gem!
Adam: The taco al pastor as great! And the al pastor nacho are unbeatable for the price.

Esteban Gonzalez: a. the el diablo coctail, gingery, light, great aperitif; b. swordfish is one of the best, most exquisitely done i've tried; c. the brussels sprouts are delish...
Оксана Михайленко: Truffle pasta- something unbelievable! Steaks also very good!
John Kinder: Death's Door Daisy is arguably the best drink on the menu; You've never had a vodka drink this good.

Laurassein: Everything here is delicious and wait staff is friendly! If you are picky and gluten free, ask for corn tortilla quesadillas!
David Smith: You'll wait 60 mins and the meal takes 30, but worth it. Put your name in and get a beer at Southport Lanes across the street.
Henry Birdseye: Nice but kind of overpriced. Good strawberry margaritas. Server said a pitcher was “just five dollars more” than 2 margs and wow I’m a sucker, that was nowhere near true.

Allison Kaminski: Awesome service, super extensive beer selection and flights! What more can you ask for?? Oh, tasty food too! Get the porksicles and poutine!
Heather Folsom: Simply put, we will be back ASAP. Poutine, wild boar meatballs w/cheddar grits, mac, & gnocchi were all phenomenal. Impressive beer list and server Amanda was spectacular- so funny & knowledgeable!
Andrew Stiles: Good for sports if you can get a table. The goose island Ogden is a good local craft beer. Pizza was a pleasant surprise.
