Steak tacos
Ashley R.

We came to eat here around 9pm on a Saturday and to my surprise it was pretty empty but nonetheless we were hungry and craving some good tacos. We ordered the queso fundido with chorizo to start. Oh em gee! Literally so delicious I highly recommend this as a starter. A few of us ordered the steak tacos, others ordered nachos and burritos. Everyone was super happy with their food. The photos that I posted of the food were pretty dark because inside the restaurant it was a very low lit romantic vibe going on. Definitely recommend for a date night. The service was very fast and the waiters polite.

Menu and chips
Bill U.

Came in for the late Cubs game and everything around Wrigley was packed after the 1st game ended so my daughter and I headed east to Broadway to find a restaurant. We walked a block south and saw Las Manantias had an outdoor eating are and with it being 78 degrees outside we took a leap of faith on the few reviews that had been posted. I ordered the enchiladas, 2 beef, 1 cheese and my daughter ordered the nachos (meatless). She enjoyed the nachos (how can you screwup nachos). The enchiladas were good but the sauce was pretty thin and runny with not much flavor so in comes the salsa! This helped a lot. The margaritas were sweet but tasty. Beautiful day in Chicago eating Mexican food with my daughter...PRICELESS.

Came here before a night Cubs game. Restaurant was a bit of a ghost town when we walked in and didn't really feel inviting. If I came here by myself I wouldn't have stayed. Our server was kind, but one of the policies is that a bill can only be split two ways, in 2023 there should be a better option. We split a chicken quesadilla which was "fine" but I don't really need it again. Overall there are many other options in the area that have better food and ambiance.

Enchiladas Suizas

I called and ordered the Enchilada Suizas to go. I was surprised upon arrival when the total was $25 when this used to be $16ish. I just shrugged it off, paid and left a $5 tip - no biggie. I walked the 5 mins around the block back home, opened the box, and was shocked to see the slop I was given. Everything was mixed together and looked horrible! I carefully carried the bag so there's absolutely NO way things got this mixed up on the short walk around the corner. I usually don't make a fuss, however, I decided to call them to leave feedback. The guy was nice but says that I must have caused this but that's literally impossible. It's pretty obvious that they just threw the food in the box and/or it was mishandled BEFORE it was given to me. Oh, and he mentioned they raised the prices but $30 for chicken enchiladas is crazy. Needless to say I will not eat here or suggest this place to friends again. Adding a picture of what it looked like before I started to eat it (I added the extra sour cream on top but you get the idea).

Margarita
Chris S.

Came here on Friday evening for dinner with some friends. It was pretty crowded by then but we were able to get seats outside. I got the tacos de bistec, which comes with a side of rice and beans. The tacos were really great - the cilantro and onions definitely upped the flavor. No complaints. We also ordered a large margarita pitcher which poured around 5 glasses (brought out with salt rims). The margs were pretty strong but also super delicious so beware! Overall - a great Mexican place with great tacos and great margs. Service was also great and fast and super accommodating (helping us seat 4 people at our smallish table). Definitely recommend for anyone looking for good and authentic Mexican food!

I've been coming here for 20+ years and it's been a Boystown staple, and the LGBTQ+ community has made this place last this long. But this past Pride parade (6/26/22) was the last straw. This place is the worst! They don't give two shiz about our community! They are so rude and the old man owner (who was sitting smugly in the front area( needs to retire or sell this place to people who actually want to serve the community. This place benefits from their location because it's always been on the parade route and ppl want to situate themselves in their patio area or nearby. The least they can do is open on time. Their open hours are from noon till whenever and we were in line for 40 min before they opened (late!) When we asked to be seated after waiting for their late opening the rude staff were so unpleasant to deal with! (No! We were told in such unpleasant terms to be seated outside. And the rude host just went to the next person to seat without trying to even accommodate us. Just no) Food has gone way way down hill and altho the drinks are still potent, I will never come back to patronize such a horrible establishment. The nachos, guac are barfable! I mean other establishments actually prepare for this day and get added staff and encourage patrons to come in and enjoy the parade in their establishment. NOT here! They couldn't care less and it shows! The place was practically empty and it looks like our community already is ignoring this horrible place! Good! Don't go here! Go to a place that cares about their customers!

As much as it was packed from 2:30 til 3:30 we were still were able to order a drink at bar. Martin was so nice and took our order and brought it to us being we went back to waiting line. The place is small with a hard time to walk around when it's full. It's a nice bar restaurant and didn't realized until we were leaving that there's a back area. The bartenders could be a little more social and happy bc that seem a bit dull and unhappy working there. Unlike Martin he was happy. Mildred was our server and she did phenomenal.

We stood at the door for about 20 minutes before someone finally told us the wait would be 1-2 hours. Keep in mind, the place is pretty small and already crowded, so there's barely any room to stand while you wait. After getting on the waitlist, we decided to go to a nearby spot for food--but not even 5 minutes later, we got called back saying our table was ready. When we returned, we were seated along the wall in a very tight space--so tight that if I stretched my arm out, I would've hit the person next to me. We noticed a large table nearby had been sitting for a while without food. When their food finally came out, it made us realize our wait would probably be even longer. After another 20 minutes passed and we still hadn't been able to order, we decided to leave. I'm not sure the space is fully ready for the rush right now--it feels overcrowded and service is slow. I'll give it another try once the hype dies down. I'm happy for their success, though--just be prepared to be patient when you go.

Cinco de Mayo at Barrio was EVERYTHINGGG…read more We fully committed to the holiday and ordered honestly the entire menu and somehow every single thing that came out was better than the last. Starting with margaritas (because obviously ‍), queso and chips that were dangerously good, and the chicken empanadas that came out perfectly crispy with so much flavor. We kept looking at each other after every bite like "okay wait... THIS is the best thing here" and then another plate would arrive and prove us wrong again The carnitas fried rice??? I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it. So savory, flavorful, comforting, and packed with crispy carnitas on top with the eggs and pickled onions... literally unreal. And then the skirt steak tacos absolutely stole the show. The steak was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and paired so perfectly with all the toppings and sauces. Every single bite tasted fresh and homemade in the best way possible. And can we talk about the ambience for a second because WOW. The music, the energy, the vibe inside, everyone celebrating, the drinks flowing -- it felt like the perfect Cinco de Mayo dinner spot. The service was also AMAZING from start to finish and made the entire experience even better. One of those dinners where you leave already talking about when you're coming back If you're looking for the place to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, date night, tacos & margaritas, or honestly just an incredible dinner in general... this is IT

When we tried them we realized she accidentally gave us each other's. No big deal but it happened again with the food when a different server brought it out. We ordered chilaquiles; one with chicken and one with carnitas. It was not bad but way spicier than anticipated, and we like spicy food. Service was also not great. She stopped once to take our order and once to bring the drinks. That's it. We did not get checked on until we were already almost done with our food. Cute patio. Inside seating wasn't busy at all.

Appetizers were quac and chips, and shrimp ceviche. The guac was really good, but the ceviche was the star. Served on a bed of cucumbers, it was visually beautiful, and the flavor was fresh and complex. There was also a LOT of it. We ended up taking some home. Entrees were steak and shrimp for me, and Tampiquena for my friend. In both dishes, the steak was done to perfection. The sauce that came with my shrimp was spicy and deep--lots of flavor layers there. Both of us took home portions of our meals because there was a lot of food on the plates. Finally, the service--the servers are attentive without hovering. If we needed something, they were there, but never intrusive. It is hard to believe this is a little neighborhood spot, given the service and the quality of the food. It was not too busy tonight--we ate early--but I recommend reservations. It is very popular with the neighborhood. Bottom line, we each had 2 margaritas, appetizers, and entrees, and our bills with tip were around $105.00 each--totally worth it! Try this little gem--you won't regret it.

Most of the reviews recommended the enchiladas and we ordered a variety of them. The Enchiladas Poblanos stuffed with chicken and cheese. The poblano sauce was rich and smoky.

We especially love then poblano sauce on the chicken enchiladas. The enchiladas have some tender chicken and the sauce is slightly spicy and creamy. Everyone is super friendly, the waiting staff and chef take pride in their work and it shows. I continue to strongly recommend this place for a delicious dinner out.

It was a hot, humid day, but apparently it was warmer inside than on their sidewalk seating, so we dined outside. My wife ordered the Vegetarian Torta ($13.75) and I chose the Shrimp Torta ($14.50).

Only real negatives were that they did not offer any draft beer options and the Chips y Salsa ($3.75) had a meager quantity of chips to eat their tasty and generous tomatillo and 3-chile salsa options. Would actually go 4.5 stars based on those 2 factors, but gave the benefit of the extra half star due to how good our service was and the excellent flavor of the veggie sandwich.
