    3 pancakes, eggs and bacon breakfast.

    I recently discovered this location opened via the Belmont Craign United Facebook page. I live in the area, it good to have a Mexican restaurant near Grand Ave. I made my stop today, very clean location, plenty of space, several tables for two to four people. Greeted as soon as we walked in, very friendly staff. The mexico de chicago chilaquiles with cecina (meat) with rice and beans, perfect portion and very well served. The menu varies, seafood is also on the menu, along with tacos and more. I was able to speak with the owner, very friendly and approachable. You can tell he places his heart into his passion. They offer live performances on certain occasions, karaoke is offered on Friday nights. Welcome to the area, I will return soon.

    Mojarra al mojo de ajo ... great flavor ... the rice and beans so good took some to go

    Definitely a must try ... get a group and go do some karaoke... food is super flavorful and delish

    Grupo de amigas con el chef. Pedimos conocer al.creador de tan excelente comida.

    The ambiance is fantastic. The food is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, not the typical Mexican food you find in Chicago, this is truly like being in Mexico. Great menu, I have tried the chicken and beef tacos, the mojarra frita, guachinango frito, camarones empanizados, camarones al ajo y quesadillas. The rice is freshly made, you can taste it. So are the beans. The staff is also great, very professional, engaged and committed to you. Always with a nice and authentic smile and kindness. I fully recommend this restaurant. Absolutely amazing!! And last but not least, the prices are budget friendly.

    Carne asada, you must try it

    Burgers were awesome. But Antonio was perfect, and went above and beyond making our dinner special…read more It was my first time in the restaurant and asked if the fries of hash was better, he recommended the fries but later surprised us with the hash comped. But that's not all-- he also came with a sunday "just to celebrate" it wasn't anyone's birthday or anniversary but we definitely were in the mood to celebrate after a night talking with him. Thanks for great service and great food, give Antonio a raise he is AWESOME

    Always a 5-star experience. They now take reservations on resy, definitely recommend, it's a small…read morediner style restaurant so sits are limited, be prepared to wait 2 hours if u don't have a reservation or get there when they open! The drinks never disappoint--they're strong, balanced, and worth every sip. And the burger? Absolute perfection every single time. A quick tip before you order: the single burger is actually two patties, and the double comes with four patties. Come hungry or be prepared to take some home! If you add bacon, I highly recommend asking for it well done. The slices are extra thick, and if they're not cooked a little longer, they can be soft and almost resemble a slice of ham rather than crispy bacon. As for the bone marrow...it's just not my thing. That said, if you're a fan, you're in good hands. I watched plate after plate leave the kitchen, so it's clearly a crowd favorite. I can't personally vouch for it, but if you love bone marrow, everyone seems to agree it's fire. Au Cheval continues to be one of those places that lives up to the hype. Great cocktails, one of the best burgers around, and consistently delivers every time.
