Katie Waters: Garlic Shrimp Tacos and Margaritas
Riley Lynch: Everything is excellent, but if you’re not sure what to choose, try the sweet and spicy tacos with a side of elotes. The horchata is awesome, as are the margaritas. The daily specials are fantastic.
Maria Cortes: fish taco and horchata pie

Chris Avila: My favourite dish is the pulpo (octopus with confit yukon potatoes with olive oil) and gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp with guindilla chilies)
Erik Shani: Wow!!!! Very very good!!!! We did the tasting menu and enjoyed every single dish. Standing out we're the figs in bacon, the garlic shrimp and the cured meat. If you are in the city, come here!
PureWow: Sharing tapas is great way to keep conversation flowing. After all, you have to talk about what you’re ordering if you’re sharing. By the time the garlic shrimp arrives, you’ll be old pals. Read more.

Tania Unzueta: Come on Fridays during Lent for their special menu. Best garlic shrimp.
Christina Bronsing: the soy tacos here are really great, even for the carnivorous folks. the taco de soya al pastor is definitely worth a try and for $1.35 you can't go wrong.
Alejandra Rueda: If you want Mexican food, without all the fat, your a fan of Mexican veggie menu items and/or your on a budget, this is it!
Laura Aldridge: The main dinner menu changes every day, so lots of variety! I had fantastic garlic prawns one night, then Cajun chicken pasta the next! Get the baby spinach salad that accompanies it.
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.
Sarah Houston: For breakfast, I love the Egg & Rajasthan Torta. For lunch, it's a toss up between the Pepita Torta and the Smoky Garlic Shrimp Torta.
Jessica: Pricey but it's the best airport food I've ever eaten. I ordered a Taqueria salad with garlic shrimp and it was 👌.
Scott Rose: Tortas are great - particularly the cubano - but everyone there worships the corn chowder. Good cocktail program.
TheOutOfTowner: Steak kebabs, garlic prawns, chicken curry sandwich, avocado toast
Steve Farr: Besides the stunning decor and magnificent views of the river, food (namely steak kabobs)is fabulous!!
Rachel L: Cute space. Healthyish options

Subhro M: Great guacamole combinations. Tacos were great - loved the garlic shrimp and fish ones. Don't forget to get a side of the corn and beans. Margaritas were great as well
AskMen: You can’t go wrong with Mercadito; both the food & drinks are amazing, particularly any of the tacos – if you can get a table. Read more.
