First time at Americanos. Not crowded for a Thursday afternoon at five. Greeted by two of the staff. Friendly and polite. We talked long with the bartender and a young man that worked there. Order a few drinks and talked with these two guys for fifteen minutes or so off and on before we even ordered anything. Just felt right, small conversation great atmosphere. We each ordered the three taco plate. I had one fish taco, one elote taco and one Arrachera taco. My wife hard three pork belly tacos. Hard to say which was out favorite because they were all equally as delicious and bursting with flavor from the fresh ingredients. We will be returning soon the March to try their corned beef and leprechaun margaritas before it's over. A must try restaurant in Norwood park. read more

I had high hopes for this place after reading some of the reviews but was left disappointed. Ordered some margaritas and chips and guacamole to start and that's where it stopped. The margaritas were bland and had table salt just smothered in the rim which made it very unappealing. Then the chips and guacamole turned me off from ordering anything else. The guac was either out of a tube or box I had a little bit and it tasted awful and as it sat in the bar top it just turned brown like green after 20 minutes. Service was decent but there was only one table occupied on a Sunday lunchtime which should have been a giveaway. The food that came out for another table looked decent but after the guac I only imagined the rest of the food was probably frozen or boxed items and didnt want to spend any more money there. read more

Decent taco spot! Ordered the chips and guacamole, plus the six-taco platter that came with beans and rice. The chips and guac were very tasty, and the steak taco was my favorite. We also ordered a few margaritas -- they were tasty. read more

Came here ion a Thursday night. We had great service. Tostados were good, not great. Brussel sprout salad was really good! I added brisket which was a mistake. There were a lot of fat pieces. I like supporting local businesses so will come again for sure. read more

Went to Americanos for the first time. Really enjoyed it. The drinks were very good. I had the brussels sprout salad with grilled chicken. So good. My sister had the tacos and really enjoyed them. Will definitely go back. Nice bar to just sit around, have appetizers and drinks as well. The service was very attentive. read more

I've been curious about the place--I think they opened in the last year. It's pretty good and I'm really looking forward to visiting the full restaurant. They had a truck outside the restaurant for the Pack the Highway event and had more on their menu than I would have expected but it of course was not their full menu (though the restaurant was open as well). I got a cheese quesadilla and some elote for us to share and it was good. The quesadilla came with a little bit of a peppery dip, which was really good. I haven't had that with a quesadilla before but I think my little one enjoyed it too (she's in a dip phase right now). The elote was really good as well and was even better when I squirted a bit of lime on. They have a parking lot and there's lots of parking along Northwest Highway and surrounding areas (but also some permit only parking since the Metra station is a block and a half away). Rumor has it that the margaritas were good so that'll pre part of my next order! read more

Americanos - Elote. Yum! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Well it was not what I had expected but that's not to say someone else may rate higher. The food was ok - we are picky so we asked for like sour cream and some spicy sauce in the side. Asked twice and never received. The Air conditioning was not on and it was our first day in the 80's so wasn't to uncomfortable just wasn't what we were looking for. They brought out grilled cheese when we asked for a kids cheese quesadilla . I have to say though that the kids grilled cheese looked good! The chicken taco was bland but the steak taco and the pork taco was great. My son had shrimp tacos and the shrimp looked good. The food itself was alright just wasn't comfortable after working outside all day - I will update as I am in the area A lot. Food is ok - give it a try! read more

If you're ever in Edison Park and craving something bold, fresh, and full of flavor, you have to check out Americanos. This spot is known for their Mexican-American street food with a modern twist and they definitely deliver. I started with their guacamole, and you can immediately tell it's homemade because it's creamy, zesty, and super fresh. Then I tried the flautas stuffed with chicken Tinga and the seasoning was on point. But the real surprise? A fried chicken torta. I don't see this often, and it was so good --crispy, juicy, and loaded with flavor. I also went for three different kinds of tacos, and honestly, each one held its own. Flavor-packed, well-balanced, and just the right amount of kick. And if you're in the mood for a drink? This month they're featuring a blueberry lemon margarita--it's refreshing, a little tart, and the perfect pairing for all that spice. Americanos is definitely a solid go-to when you want street food done right read more

Just visited Americanos in Edison Park. The margaritas Fresca are a delicious treat with tropical flavors such as mango, pinaple, watermelon, strawberry, and more A good selection of beers 13 bottles 4 cans There is no on tap beer here. Yeah! Tequilas to satisfy any taste: Blanco, anejos, reposados, and premium, we counted 30 in all. A good selection of bourbon, and scotch and wine are also available. Ceviche Mild marinated shrimp with lime, a perfect companion for your Margarita!... Arrachera Served with delicious customary rice and beans, knob onion, and jalapeño. The skirt steak is the star, and it shines. We added shrimp (5.00 extra) but worth it; make sure to try a bite with a bit of each ingredient, i guarantee it won't be your last. Tostadas We tried steak and pork; both were delicious. A taco is just a taco unless you are at americanos; here they are an indulgence & a must try! Tacos We had the fish (deep fry battered cod) (my favorite) steak (skirt steak) al pastor (marinated pork) Salad (Brussell Sprouts Ensalada) It's big enough to share, but I doubt anyone will, not willingly at list. We added chicken and made for a full meal any time of the day. A few lovingly, but prominently displayed family pictures let you know this is a family restaurant, and the service is the same as a host welcoming you into their home.

Could have been better! I had high hopes for this place, but the food seemed inconsistent and ok. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. Our appetizer came out lukewarm and there was some confusion on whether we needed tortillas. Not sure why they thought chips were acceptable since the queso fundito was pretty solid when it was dropped off at our table. My main dish was WAY too spicy which is heck of a thing to say by me. You know it has to be spicy if I'm comparing. My rice was cold. The service was good which pains me for writing this review , but I'm sadly not impressed. This is an unfortunate skip in Edison Park read more

Food was amazing! I have been on a quest to find faultas equal or better than Puesto's in CA. The cocktails, delicious! Service was almost nonexistent. Please hire an experienced server or gentleman if you plan on being the servers watch a YouTube video on proper table service. read more

Just had an amazing time at Americanos! The GM and bartender were both so nice! We had reservations and were greeted by the door by the GM. The vibe was very comfy, not too upscale- think "chillaxed" vibes. I came with 2 girlfriends and we each had a different type of margarita. I got a pitcher of the cucumber margaritas and it was my first time having a cucumber margarita, and it DID NOT disappoint! Very might recommend! The bartender, Sean/Shawn was amazing! I also got to try their seasonal blood orange margarita, which was also delicious! We had the flautas appetizer and for my entree, I ordered the chorizo taco and the pork belly taco. I didn't even make it to the pork belly taco because I was full off the flauta and chorizo taco lol. The hot sauces that they bring to your table in the squirt bottles were bomb dot com!! Spicy enough for some "flava" but not burn your bottle hole spicy. Overall, I highly recommend this establishment for the vibes (I requested they play Bad Bunny and they obliged- zero questions asked and no pushback) and the food! If you're ever having group get together or small party, this place would be great! They also have brunch on the weekends which I will bring some moms back for, for some "Momosa" Dates! Americanos- you may as well give me a special discount code or something, at this point.. you'll never get rid of me! read more

Food was delicious and service was excellent! The Brussels sprouts salad lived up to the hype and I enjoyed the tacos too.

I've been to this place twice. The first time I went I felt like the food was good, but the place was extremely loud. The ambience really could use some sound absorption because a lot of people like to go and it's like a screaming Match to have a conversation... Add kids and good luck. Otherwise, I really liked the place, I liked the atmosphere and life was good. The second time around was about as disappointing as it could be. First off I wanna start with the compliment. The brussel sprout ensalada was absolutely fantastic. I thought that my girl really ordered right. The Brussel sprouts were warm and went well with the dressing. I loved it and wished that I had ordered it. Now we go to my order where I got three tacos: chicken, fish and pork. The pork was so dry that I literally could take a shred of it and hit the plate and it clinked. Something that something was wrong, one of the owners asked me if everything was OK. I told him I need to send this back and he was very gracious about it to be fair. He came back with the brisket taco on my request and it was so greasy that if I turned it even 15°, grease came pouring on my plate. Besides that, it wasn't even seasoned well. Then there was my fish taco which, I kid you not was a fish stick on a tortilla! No! I have never had a fish taco in my life like that. The whole meal was a bust. Now, to be fair, the waiter warned me that the brisket was a little greasy, and the pork was a little dry... But I had no idea the understatement that he was making. Also, I got one refill during the hour and a half. I was there and my girl loves to drink Diet Coke. I had to empty half of my Diet Coke twice just to keep her filled while the waiter was walking around and as we were walking out the door, I saw him pick up his phone and start to have a conversation with another 35 people still in the restaurant and him being the only waiter. The kindness of the owner and the Warning of the waiter and my previous experience as well as the brussels sprout salad is the reason why they got three stars. But if it was based on my dish alone, and it was my first experience? Absolutely not. That'd be one star. And the best part is... Three tacos, one brussels sprout salad and two Diet Coke's sent me back $54. Unbelievable. I might come back for that salad, but with the other food offerings in the area, you're better off going to Don Juan's up the road. read more

Very fresh. We had fajitas and enchiladas. The fajitas were on a sauced plate -- not the usually sizzling metal platter. Nonetheless, they tasted great. We'll go back. read more

Stoped in for lunch and it was excellent. Started with guac and chips then had the crispy chicken torta. The chicken thigh was juicy and the breading was really crispy. Excellent flavors. Buddy had the burrito. Also tried the fish taco and the beer batter was perfect. Great flavors all around read more

Came here on a Thursday night with a couple of my girlfriends. Very crowded but we didn't wait too long for a table. We started off with chips, salsa, and guacamole. The guacamole was good. We also ordered margaritas. They ordered the classic margaritas and I ordered the grilled pineapple margarita Fresca. They were all very weak. My girlfriends finished a whole pitcher without even feeling a buzz. They were tasty but not very much alcohol. For dinner I ordered the taco dinner. My tacos were carne asada, Al pastor, and shrimp. I opted for double rice instead of rice and beans. The carne asada was average. Al pastor had a nice kick to it and shrimp was good. The rice was not good at all, no taste to it. Overall I was disappointed especially for the price. I'd be willing to try again after a few months, maybe just working out some kinks as they open. read more

We had a fun date night out at Americanos. It was our first visit and we will definitely be returning. The menu offered a lot of choices and everything we had (tacos and empanadas) were delicious!

My family and I went here on opening night. It was 615pm on a Tuesday and we were seated right away. It's a narrow, but long restaurant. High tops in the front with bar seats and low tops in the back. We sat in one of the low tops and menus were provided. There was a kids menu as well, which was nice. We started with drinks: I had the original margarita and my husband had one with Mezcal. I like that you can choose to have salt, Tajin, or sugar on the rim. We opted for the Tajin . The drinks earned their $12 price tag. It's Taco Tuesday so we had to get tacos. We both ordered the 3 taco dinner for 17. I had the first three tacos on their list: steak, brisket, and chicken. Don't expect plain lettuce and tomatoes in your tacos here! Think cilantro & pickled something making the tacos delicioso! It's their first night so I'll let the minor service hiccups pass this time. Just keep the drinks and food on point and we good! Welcome to the neighborhood, Americanos! read more
