Heather Stuyvesant: Amazing food and mojitos! Highly recommend the guava mojitos. If you get plantain chips, ask for a side of mojo (pronounced moe-hoe) to dip in! You wont be disappointed!
Gardenia Hung-Wittler: A Panamerican Caribbean Latin American hideaway for Spanish-American favorite specialties such as Ceviche, Cuban Tostones, Caribbean Seafood Paella, Cuban Desserts and Café con Leche and good dining.
Cathi Odtohan: try the pillowy empanadas! Delish!

@MisterHirsch: Must try cocktail ----> b.n.g.t.m. (Big nose goes to mexico) with Herradura Blanco & reposado, dark rum, guava, orgeat, and a touch of fire ... No really, FIRE. :)
Colin Lee: The guava sodas are refreshing for the summer!
Marco Morelli: torrejas de bolillo dessert (creme anglaise soaked mexican bread, vanilla ice cream, cajeta sauce - like french toast with ice cream on top!), Camaron Ceviche and the Toreado Guacamole are must gets.
Dan Pyatetsky: One of the most memorable pizzas I’ve had. Everything was surprisingly under-seasoned but it was still excellent. Walk in the Woods tasted great once we added salt, and Where’s Ruby was the favorite.
Christopher Floss: The best #pizza in #streeterville! Over twenty years in the making to perfect their crust. The meatballs are worth a try, too!!!
Magda Brej: We stumbled upon this place after the architecture tour, great thin crust pizza!

hooeyspewer .: Try a Motu Ahe (Cruzan dark rum and mango, papaya, and guava juices) and if you *really* like it, you can order it by the punchbowl.
Christopher Floss: The best views of the #chicago river! Awesome and elegant #rooftop venue.
💋JinkyJane✈✈✈🇺🇸: Fireworks in the summertime on Wednesdays and Saturdays @ 10 pm...Very nice view esp. from The Trump Tower Terrace!

Christopher Floss: Always a favorite for awesome #steak and #seafood in #Chicago. Try the crispy #shrimp or fried #calamari as an #appetizer. Can’t go wrong with the #newyorkstrip for #dinner! 48 #wines by the glass!
Faisal Sg: Best tried steak house in town 👌🏼
Karen W: We sat at the bar for drinks and dinner. Excellent service and food. We had the meatballs, shrimp deviled eggs and the raw bar for dinner - colossal shrimp and crab legs.

Allison Kaminski: Party in the bathroom with the disco ball!Jokes aside, the food here is delish. Octopus & pork belly tacos are cooked to perfection. Love the array of guac & salsas. Can’t go wrong with the cocktails
Scott Sachnoff: Try Bodega around the corner at 355 N. Clark for churros, tacos & drinks to go (5 seats.)
Allison Letts: The margaritas are excellent. Overall, it’s delicious food but somewhat overpriced.
Travis Tindell: Best dining experience in Chicago. Classic cocktails, Jazz music, grasshoppers, just perfect ambiance. We had New York strip and surf & turf (lobster ravioli and short rib). It was too die for.
Time Out Chicago: The burger here passes the ultimate test: The flavorful beef, a house blend, would be good sans condiments. But it’s even better with just a hint of pickles, red-wine onions, aioli and Uplands cheddar Read more.
Shannon B.: Great cocktail program and supper club ambience. 1/2 off Craft Cocktails in the bar on Wednesdays.

Carol Phillips: This is one of the most casual and intimate steak houses in Chicago, great food and service. I usually get the petite filet. Why go to a big chain when this is so much better? Read more.
Kaci Ramirez: Amazing! Service is spectacular, food is great and wine is even better!
Joan Kelly: The bone-in filet is tasty but surprised they're such gluten free novices.

Bill Q: Try the Queretaro-style green mole (sesame seeds, almonds, peanuts, poblano, plantain, sweet spices) that comes w/Pollo en Mole Verde Queretano. It's incredible!
Kendra Campbell-Milburn: Try the mole. Trust me, even if you don't usually like mole, you will like this mole. Rick Bayless is a god of cuisine!
ecomagination: Frontera’s main goal is to live “sustainably” everyday. Enjoy their delicious food while understanding their commitment and support to local farmers.
