Round two tonight. Had the special of the night NY strip steak with and shrimp. Did not disappoint! Steak was on point especially since I always order medium rare+. Chef nailed it. The polenta side was so buttery and creamy. It just melted in your mouth. Guava margarita was delicious as well. Definitely the best place I've been in the last week's visiting the area.
Best pork tacos! Handmade tortillas. The guacamole is a little different with while cherry tomatoes, but still very tasty. Try the pineapple lemongrass agua fresca so refreshing!! We loved the food, but the service was a little lacking for how busy it was for lunch (only 2 other tables and us, so maybe 6 7 people total). We will definitely be back again for margaritas this time!
Wildly overpriced and nothing special. $18 margarita that had a weird aftertaste and a $30 rack of lamb that left me hungry. Glad I didn't order the $15 guacamole....
Unbelievable food and Margaritas .. service is great. All fresh and homemade delicious menu. Loved it!!!
This place is SO AMAZING. I live out of town but fly in every month and this place is the first spot I go to when I leave the airport. Located in glenview by the train station, but I swear it is something you would find downtown in Chicago. The food is PHENOMENAL, I cannot stress that enough. The drinks are just as amazing.My go to is the guava margarita with guacamole and the shrimp and mushroom quesadillas. The carne asada is my fav dish to get along with the elote.The service is just as amazing as the food! Olga is always attentive and on her game! Love seeing her just as much as I love eating the food.If you come here, I guarantee this will be a new favorite spot of yours!
