Wow horrible!!!! Food was bland, I ordered the Sabina tacos, place Is filthy . The server were fast to take your order. Really not much to mention. read more

I had several people recommend this place to me so I finally went with a friend and they were right. The meat is delectable, tender and filled with flavor. It's different than your typical Mexican spot, you order the steak and kind of make your own tacos at the table. Truly you are coming here for the carne asada the sell it by the kilo. I did not realize it was BYOB however they do not allow hard liquor just beers and wines. Would definitely go back! read more

It's was good to be back at Canton. The son's owner, Don Danny, was there and a pleasure to see. (He was the owner of Nuevo Leon across the street for over five decades.) The eggs with nopales and rice and beans was predictable and reliably delicious. Great to be back. read more

Please be careful in paying here. Please make sure to review ALL charges against the menu. This one is on me because we WERE celebrating a birthday and didn't really bother. They even charged for the slice of cake ($6). Food is good but please take the time to review EVERYTHING!!! read more

Been to this place twice already. My boyfriend came upon this place. I love it! Would recommend this place to my friend and family. The chicken is delicious. They use wood fire to cook the chicken. And the chip and guacamole is delicious. I order a limonade...yum! Would come back again and again. Street parking. Only cash. read more

First time there- as you walk in there is no sign that states " wait to be seated". So we just stood by the entrance, at least 4 different waiters made eye contact with us but not one word. It would of been nice if someone atleast said .. Someone will be right with you. Eventually a lady without uniform comes and seats us. My first dish of fish filet came out a little burnt on the side- returned it. I ordered the shrimp soup then. Still somewhat of a fail. My boyfriend's plate looked just sad. The best part was their Lemonade #1 Really bummed, but it is what it is! read more

Came here with my boyfriend who is from NL so we were excited to support this Mexican restaurant with Northern Mexico influences I ordered the "skirt steak" tacos and my boyfriend ordered the tacos Sabinas. The tacos I ordered tasted like regular taco meat on a regular milagro tortilla. Similar to what you would find at any other taco spot, but the Sabinas tacos were really good quality meat (rib eye and other meats) super tender on what I believe to be home made flour tortillas. They serve a house sauce on the side that was super spicy. Looking forward to trying again. read more

This was my second time here and it didn't disappoint. We found parking on the side street. It was busy when we walked in but was seated right away. Majority of the tables were round so if you had a group of 4 or more they would put two round tables together. I think the round tables may have been a thought so more seating in the restaurant. But nonetheless we didn't have to worry. Chips and salsa, always a good free munchie! The chips were warm and 3 different salsas were given. Green salsa - a bit spicy but the right amount of heat for me. Red salsa a little less heat but good as well. Pico de Gallo with cactus - this was mild but my favorite. I mixed the red and green salsa to tame down the spiciness. We almost finished the basket. Then out came our skewers. They were hot and inviting. So tender and flavorful with the right amount of seasoning. The meat was tender and the small size tortillas made every bite tasty and wanting more. I would even just make a taco with the grilled peppers and onion. They do a great job. Then we had the Sabinas Tacos with grilled skirt steak. This time the tacos were filled more than last. The meat, beans and cheese all melted together when you bite into it. This would be a nice takeout meal. Not sure if it's the start of the holiday but the wait was out the door again. But they were seated pretty quickly. This will definitely be my go to place to take friends. read more

We walked in and waited a bit, but it was very much worth it. Inside it feels cozy and homie. The waiter was very nice to us and came by frequently to check on us eating. The meat in both of the dishes shown were very very tender. The tortillas seemed to be home made and were also very good. My girlfriend's mom had coffee which was also very good according to her. The best part, it was cheap! However, make sure that when you come by, BRING CASH read more

Very disappointed with this place. Bad attitudes, bad organization and to top it off bad food. I ordered today 2kg of arrachera and I asked to please make it well done. The lady told me 30mins, and they still had my dad waiting for 25mins after the 30 mins. Came home to very under cooked and very fatty meat. I called and asked for the manager, I talked to Daniel and told him I asked for well done meat and it was very under cooked and he had a terrible attitude. I get he couldn't do anything unless I brought it in but his attitude was uncalled for. Not once did he offer an apology for the mishap. I'm by midway I was not about to go back. They need to be more careful and pay attention. Maybe if they followed the rules of not having a packed place during this pandemic they would be more careful with the orders. read more

Came here looking forward to having some menudo early on a Sunday morning and was told they ran out. Two minutes later two tables next to mine were served menudo. When I asked the server and owner what happened they just shrugged their shoulders and walked away. Service was horrible, the hot chocolate was clearly powder mix not authentic Abuelita chocolate. Never coming back after experiencing this disappointment and discrimination. read more

Great food, my husband and I enjoyed it. It just seems very fast paced like if youre rushed to eat. Food came out fast and was delicious.

First time ever, me recomendaron y no tienen limón. La comida sin limón no tiene sabor. Puras fallas.

Best Mexican food in Chicago - authentic and very tasty. The service is a bit strange with no reservations but the wait time usually is not that long. read more

Excellent food, poor service. They clearly need more staff. The server took forever to take our order, bring the order, then kept forgetting items. The food got cold. The people that are waiting to get seated hold the outside door open, making it very cold. All around frustrating experience. My boyfriend will be taking it out on me later. read more

Horrible service a family member had recommended this place and we order ARRACHERA by kilo, super expensive and it's not AREACHERA they serve it in strips so you can't see it it's just flap meat and it was cold and very tough, your tortillas are brought in foil paper and they get cold right away!!! Back to the meat no seasoning just plain cow meat flavor. We order chicken fajitas server forgot to place our order we waited for ever and then the busboy comes and start taking silverware and plates and we are repetitive saying we are not finished they he is here are the silver ware I am not taking them after you graves them with your hand!!!!! I just didn't like food or service so disappointed!!!!! read more

Fajitas are amazing. Tacos are great. Half chicken is solid. BYOB and cash only. Sometimes there is a wait but it is worth it. Great atmosphere. At times there are bands there and it can be loud, (I don't mind it at all, but others might), but very authentic. read more

Food and service was great. I had the Nuevo León breakfast special for $10 and my husband had the 1/2 rotisserie chicken which were both delicious. Next time we return will try the bean soup and fajitas. Keep in mind they accept cash no credit cards. Parking can sometimes be a challenge on weekends. read more

This pains me to write this, but well Canton Regio needs to figure some things out. I like the BYOB aspect but by not having a bar it gets VERY crowded. We went in on Friday , 2/21/20 for supper and came in at 8:30. We were told a 30 minute wait, okay cool it's a weekend. At 9:10 we were told it would be another 30-35 minutes because they were busy with parties. Now that is where I get irritated. We waited for 40 minutes crammed up front and then were told another 30-35 minutes, not cool. If you don't take reservations, you can't give all your tables away to 3 large parties and every else can kick rocks. Not good business at all. I hate writing negative reviews but that is just bad practice. So we left after an hour plus of waiting. I may go back, may not. This left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

After much debate I ventured out to this place to try the " carne asada " which is the signature item that brings in the people . I was surprised at how good it was along with a great presentation. Carne asada by the kilo ****** great flavor ,soft and goes perfectly with the grilled onions and jalapeño that accompany your order Shrimp skewers ****** outstanding presentation and the grilled flavor on the shrimp and vegetables is top notch. The dish that really makes me want to go back Is the complimentary pork taco they gave me it was both tender and spicy without the spice overbearing the pork . read more

Nice people great food i come here before my class and the tacos i get are insanely huge. Good quality meat too

One of my favorite places good atmosphere good vybes excellent food and service. Great for dine in family or dinner dates. This place is byob also .. make sure u get eat the soup that comes with the meals it's so flavorful. read more

The food is amazing!! The arrachera meat is delicious! Soft and tender and juicy! The beans that comes with it Are delicious too!! We ordered a side of rice that's really good too! The cost of it is very reasonable too. This restaurant even has their own parking lot which is amazing for it being in Pilsen on 28th street! My only critic is they need to improve in their seating system.. it's horrible.. we have to wait over an hour and then when we come they tell us another 30 minutes. I think the restaurant is small for the amount of clientele. Even the tables are very close to each other. It's an amazing restaurant and I am hopefully one day it grows into a bigger location read more

I type this as I slowly drift into a food-induced lethargic state. The shrimp skewers and steak tacos were divine. If heaven was a drink, it would be canton regio's house lemonade. There was a smidge of something (maybe lime) that gave it some oomph. Chips and dip: Hallelujah! Those darn tortillas and charro beans made me want to shout. My faith in Pilsen restaurants was renewed tonight. It took a while to get our food because it was busy. We scarfed the food down as if trying to break a Guinness record, so I didn't take pictures. Just take my word for it. This place is legit. Side note-This is my second time here and, I must admit, I thought it was a fluke after my first visit. I had breakfast here last month. The huevos ala mexicana were so good. I felt no one really messes up eggs, so I didn't post. I have pictures of that amazingness lol read more

I was nervous in the beginning because I felt like the guac and salsa wasn't as flavorful but when the entrees came out I was IMPRESSED. The shrimp skewers were literally so succulent, well seasoned, so amazing. I had steak tacos and they're literally so huge I've never gotten so full off of tacos. My family and I came for cinco de Mayo and at first it wasn't as lively but after while they turned the music up, it started to get packed and it felt like a party! read more

This is my 3rd and final time here. I have ordered the same thing the last couple of times and it has been inconsistent. I usually order the ribeye and this last time it was overcooked. I suggested to a group of friends that we come here. We came in on a Tuesday for a late lunch and had no problems being seated. The music was extremely loud and a door near our table was opened to the basement and let in a terrible draft. The service was okay, but this place is cash only, and at the end of our meal the server couldn't offer us any change for the 20s we paid with. read more

I've been to this restaurant a couple times before and never felt as rushed as I did today. I waited about 20 mins to get a table for 3, the food was great, we had pollo asado and tacos de asada, however, I was planning to get the flan for dessert. My husband and I were waiting for the waiter to come back so I could order my dessert, when he finally came, he brought our tab and walked away. No "thank you" "is there anything else you need?" Absolutely zero words. So we just paid and left, I had lost my desire for dessert after that. I found the service to be so cold and definitely rushed. I understand people may stay a while because in the menu it notes that there is a 2hr max and will charge $100 per any additional hour after that, but come on, no need to be so cold with customers. Definitely not returning. Oh and check your bill, they over charged me by $3, didn't realize it then but right after reading other reviews. read more

Really disappointed called to make a reservation they said no reservations allow... We got there super early to end up waiting 1 1/2 While people will come in and right way got a table , we ask how that was possible they said because they had reservations.... I spoke with 3 lady's supposedly one of them was the manager .. there customers service really poor .. read more

Mari Jessica and gio were the best! The service was amazing and very attentive. The food was good and had plenty of options. Overall I think if it's your first time having Brazilian bbq, you will not be disappointed with the food quality. Mashed potatoes here are a must read more

We drove 45 minutes to this place and as we are waiting to be seated the host take us to the table. Same person took our order therefore I thought she was the server not the host. Once we receive our food we asked for other side orders and at that precise moment the person told us, she isn't a server. We were never asked by anyone else if we needed anything that's why we kept asking that same person for what we needed. To top off our experience, we partially received our order and the fact that I found a strip of plastic in my food. The lady apologized and said she wasn't a server and that's the reason she partially brought our food and that the plastic came from the bag of beans. At the end when we were lying another lady that we hadn't seen while we ate, dare to tell us that gratitude wasn't included in our bill, my intentions were to leave no tip for such an awful experience and since we didn't have a server. YET HOW DARE YOU ASK FOR A TIP, IF NO ONE WAS TENDING TO US!!!!!!!!!!! Bottom line don't waste your time to go to this place definitely not worth the experience or the flavor. read more

Omg this is possibly one of the best places in Chicago! The staff are insanely helpful, attentive and friendly no matter how busy they are...and they are CRAZY busy! We never needed a thing..even water! Great atmosphere, affordable prices, large portions, delicious food and most importantly flavorful/delicious food!! Started with homemade chips and 3 types of salsa. SO GOOD! Moved on to fundido dip with homemade flour tortillas (definitely recommended) for $8. Large portion and probably best Ive had...it was fun indeed-o! Main feast was a half kilo beef and the skewers...we got one of each, steak, chicken and shrimp. Came with beans that the fiancee loved. Meat was cooked perfect, explosive with flavor, large pieces and good cuts. All seasoned well also! The kilo was fantastic especially if you like onions. Would definitely order again. Restaurant is byob. For $60 we had a lot of delicious food and cannot come here soon enough again. The staff really makes this place also...huge shout out to them! Saturday is busy so either come early or expect a wait! read more

You know they must be doing something right, if you show up on a Sunday night to a FULL house! It's cozy with lofted wooden ceilings and chandeliers that make the ambience appealing. Despite how hectic the crowds were for dinner, the service was attentive and prompt. If a place is known for their steak, it is my personal opinion that you should probably order THE STEAK. We did just that: - Sabinas Tacos comes with 3 tacos stuffed FULL of ribeye steak. It's $10 and you'll be stuffed. - Steak Fajitas (were better in my opinion) came with perfectly seasoned & cooked skirt steak, peppers, onions & guacamole. You can create your own perfect taco with the provided tortillas. When I come back, I'll be looking to come with more people so we can split a kilo of skirt steak (arrachera), guacamole & tortillas.. that would be perfect meal... mmmm mmmm While BYOB, there is a $10 corkage fee, so we stuck with our waters and enjoyed the food! read more
