Jared (I think, sorry I am bad with names) was an awesome bartender. It was exactly the experience you’re looking for when sitting at the bar. Great humor, great conversation, and great recommendations! We were from out of town and couldn’t have been happier to stop in and sit at the bar. We will be back for the food, service, and margaritas! Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Used to be one of my favorite spots on Chicago; and I’m still nostalgic but it’s just waaaaay too expensive now. $77 for a few tacos, kids quesadilla, chips+guac, and fundido is hilariously overpriced. Even Tecates are $5

This service was the quickest service I've ever seen in my life. I got my food within a minute of ordering it, seriously! The food was DELICIOUS and the skylights make a happy atmosphere.
