El Solazo - Chicago

Long time customer. Even before the fire. Finally had the opportunity to try the new menu. It’s not your typical Mexican restaurant. Instead it’s more of an experience. The service is great and the menu is small but the limited menu gives the chefs time to pay more attention to what they are sending out. Excellent salsas, great food presentation and tasty cocktails. Definitely makes it standout from the rest of the neighborhood restaurants. It’s on the pricier side and that’s the only reason I am giving it 4 stars. For what’s around you can get more but you will not get the experience that Solazo provides. Go try it out for yourself and make sure to have a reservation.

My husband and I have been wanting to come back to Solazo since they re-opened. We went for our anniversary dinner and we were blown away. We made reservations online, arrived a few minutes before and were seated immediately. The host explained the menu and our server came shortly after. Alondra explained everything beautifully, she made sure we were taken care of throughout our meal. The food was phenomenal! The salsas were perfect and complimented each other, the guacamole was different and tasty, the tacos were AMAZING, they came out in pairs as we finished each and the dessert was delicious. The complimentary champagne for our anniversary was the cherry on top. We ended up asking for our entree to go because we were just too full and they packed it for us before it even came out. All in all one of the best dining experiences that we have had in a long time and my husband and I travel all over the place for a good meal and good experience. I feel lucky to have a wonderful place like Solazo back in our neighborhood.

There food is fireeeee I always go for the chillaquiles verdes or rojos always on point good food !!

I've been a regular for many years now, last year was a bit inconsistent, but I have to say El Solazo came back stronger. I always make it a point to bring my family visiting from Mexico and/or out-of-state. Needless to say, they have all enjoyed it very much, and always ask me to take them back before they leave. Keep up the good work, Pepe!

My friends took me here because my regular spots have been disappointing me, assuring that you all wouldn't. And you didn't! That was the best burrito I've ever had!
