Had great stuff at this Mexican restaurant in Oak Lawn. It certainly is very casual but there's…read morestill a touch of classiness going on. La Cocina De Mama is one of the popular places to drink and eat along this particular stretch. Far from authentic. They focus more on look and taste. Came in and got seats at the bar. It's often crowded and this time was no exception. There was a wait for a table. Of course cocktails. We got a couple of these. It's about $13 for a margarita. The Cucumber Margarita is great stuff. It's about $12 for a burrito. Menu has a good amount to choose from. I got the Vegetariano Burrito. This has beans, cheese which I left off, lettuce, rice, and tomatoes. Filling. There's even more items if looking. Great stuff to drink and eat. It's located on 95th Street at Massasoit. There's a few things for vegetarians.

We arrived around 4 pm and there was about a 25 minute wait. It is cozy so there were people waiting outside. The decor is more modern than traditional. They have a bar and TVs. Staff are warm and friendly and our server was Dulce. It was a busy day yet she would periodically check in to see how we were doing. We ordered the table side guacamole. It was made fresh at our table and hubby added a little more salt to it. We were also served a small bowl of salsa.The chips are warm and fresh. Hubby ordered the combo fajitas and a strawberry margarita. I ordered the steak enchiladas rojas and a pina colada. Everything was seasoned well and we enjoyed our meals. Kudos to the bartender for making great drinks!

I love the vibes (just be careful, the food and drinks seem to attract bees but we didn't mind). We tasted every tacos from the Summer menu, plus the campechano taco from the Happy Hour menu, and loved them all. Always good service! They've always been so welcoming and attentive. My only complaint is that I did think that the salsa were not tasty this time around, but I had chips and salsa plenty of times that I figured it must just be off this time. The green salsa was a bit bland, needed more salt. All-in-all, it's always a good time at Solazo. Here's some more information: - Chile torreado: Very spicy. Be cautious if you're not a spicy lover. - Cebollitas asada: Has a really good seasoning to it. Must get it! - Mezcal Margarita: Not sweet - Paloma: A bit sweet - La Chikana Burger: Definitely a must have!

Our server was attentive and pleasant and it didn't take long for our drinks and entrees to arrive. There was a margarita special so we tried the frozen strawberry.

So far the shrimp cocktail is my all time favorite as this is my third time ordering it. I…read moreseriously think the flavor is perfection, especially from this region in Mexico, they have nailed it to perfection for sure. I have tasted their pineapple stuffed with seafood concoction and its good of course, but here I am for the third time ordering a shrimp cocktail to go. Can't help it, its flavorful and packed with big shrimp, not those tiny crustaceans that you see in salad either, I'm talking about shrimp as big as your head. But here goes the whomp whoomp whoomp part: I specifically asked for it not to be spicy as my mom is allergic, and what happened? When I got the cocktail home we were so excited to eat. But both of our cocktails had heat and my mom absolutely couldn't eat it. I didn't bother calling them because I was too upset, but ill let the review speak for itself. But I digress! I like also that they have indoor safety dining, and they do take it seriously so that's what I look for in the newest inside dining thanks to Covid-19. Its a must to be safe and although I took it to go, it nice to know that I can actually come here for Indoor dining and not fear for my health.

Lol So yes, if you go on the weekend, there will be a wait. A long one. I waited about an hour and a half on a Friday to get a seat outside. The lot is medium sized but jam packed so street parking might be your best bet. You put your name and number on the list and then sit and wait in the car until they call you. If you go during the week, early in the day, you should be able to bypass the crazy wait. The food was worth all of the wait. I got the birria tacos and king crab legs. They weren't too spicy and the platter was ENORMOUS! It can easily feed 3 people! The tacos were super flavorful, too. I was also able to order smoothies/slushees that are delicious on there own but can also be used as a base to mix with a drink. The service was quick as well and I was surprised given the fact that the place was so packed. This place is definitely worth the wait and worth checking out!

I finally got the chance to stop by El Mezcalito. I'd been curious about this place for a while…read morebecause every time I passed by, the decor always caught my attention. The place is covered in taxidermy, from deer to bears, with that old-school country saloon feel that makes it pretty different from the typical Mexican restaurant. The staff were nice and welcoming, the menu had a ton of options but since it was late, I decided to keep it simple and ordered the three-taco steak dinner. The presentation was really nice, and the tacos came out looking fresh and loaded. The steak was tender and juicy with those slightly charred edges that gave it a smoky, grilled flavor. I could taste the seasoning right away, with a nice savory beef flavor underneath. The little bits of char also gave the meat a slightly crispy texture that made each bite more interesting. The salsa was the perfect addition. It had a good amount of heat, but it also brought some acidity and freshness that cut through the richness of the steak. Once I added it to the tacos, everything came together even better. Smoky steak, warm tortilla, fresh toppings, and that spicy salsa all in one bite. It was a simple order, but honestly exactly what I needed that late at night. Definitely glad I finally stopped in.
