Taco Restaurant · Lincoln Park · 91 tips and reviews
Lindsay Pomazal: Amazing ceviche tacos and they are only $2. Also the guava margarita is a must!
Keilon Lawrence: Had the steak, the al pastor and the ceviche...they were all great! The ceviche was surprising more tasty than I imagined it to be. I can't decide a favorite between the 3 for now. Greatness!
ivy t.: Great tacos, esp the ceviche taco. Pollo torta wasn't too special. Pear tropical margarita is delish and rojo mole was yum. Great servers.

Eli Speigel: Ceviche and the mezcal mussels
Cristina Dordas: Everything was deli. But don't miss the mussels, ceviche, cod brandada and croquetas (although they are not 100% Spanish style). Nice and small restaurant. Great service
Mari B: This was my Thursday wknd kick-off for 4 yrs! Margaritas in all flavors are awesome for 1/2 price, service is great, ceviche, steak taco salad and the steak nachos are the BEST!
Rob N.: Of course the margaritas are great and really on half price Tuesdays and Thursdays. Get anything steak! Wait staff is second to none.
Tony Wood: Half price Margaritas on Tuesdays and Thursdays! (3.90)

Italian Restaurant · Lincoln Park · 66 tips and reviews
Veronica H: Mortadella pizza with the pistachio pesto was amazing! And the pork ragu was surprisingly out of the box. Enjoy with a glass of barbera
Chicago magazine: We'd go back for the orecchiette alone. Breadcrumbs, kale, and lemon tuck. Yum.
Alex Karas: Get. The. Tiramisu.

Molecular Gastronomy Restaurant · Lincoln Park · 142 tips and reviews
Dickon Isaacs: Bubbling ceviche bowl
Keith Wood: Definitively my best culinary experience. When put up against EMP and Chef's Table@BK Fare, Alinea wins hands down. While both are great, the adaptive & edgy service at Alinea is second to none.
Travel Channel: Sardine sandwiches floating on titanium antennae, solidified olive oil -- Alinea may well be, and I do not say this lightly, the most important restaurant in America. -- Andrew Zimmern, Bizarre Foods

Sushi Restaurant · Lincoln Park · 51 tips and reviews
Courtney Wolfe: Start with the shumai as an appetizer, it's to die for. Also, the tuna salad with pepper tuna and wasabi cream sauce is great.
Matthew: Head to this place with a 6-pack and a friend. They have amazing all you can eat sushi. But be careful you can eat until you explode!
Anastasia Belozertseva: If you come in a big group, you can ask for your order to be served on a wooden boat which adds to the experience!
