Great first time experience dining here last weekend. Service was excellent, food was amazing across all dishes. Will be back!

The food is well presented and high quality, but portions are small for the price. Nevertheless I have been here 5 times and the service was absolutely lovely (especially by the younger waitress) until my 5th time. We made a reservation and showed up on time. We waited at the host stand with another party for over 5 minutes before someone even glanced at us. Many staff walked by during this time but would not make eye contact. We were finally acknowledged then told to wait by the bar, which was full so we stood in a random spot for 20 minutes with no update. When I then went to the host stand to enquire what was going on, (I literally said, "Hi, we have been waiting for 20 minutes, do you know how much longer the wait will be?") the older woman said very condescendingly, "Honey, we are just very busy tonight". No apology, no respect. I told her that we had had wonderful service before and asked if something was going on but she proceeded to speak to me with condensation and rudeness. All I wanted was an update, honey. If she had just said "I am so sorry, we will seat you as soon as we can", I would have been satisfied to wait and would not be writing this negative review. Instead, her attitude ruined our time there and I will be looking for another Mexican restaurant to frequent. Manners go a long way, honey. read more

Mas Alla Del Sol - Enchiladas Verdes - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Service was impeccable. Amazing Guacamole. Chicken fajitas were flavorful and filling. Carne asada and chile relleno easily the best we've had. It's so difficult to find a place that serves fried ice cream which is a Mexican favorite for us and theirs is really good. Atmosphere was lively without being too noisy. We went on Friday night and easily got a reservation for 6 in the late afternoon (which we recommend). A little more expensive than standard Mexican but worth it. Sides in Mexican dinners sometimes seem like an afterthought but their rice and refried beans are perfect compliments. read more

If you're looking for a great place to dine with family or friends I highly recommend Mas Allá del Sol! The service and food quality is top tier whether you're there for brunch or dinner, you can't go wrong! read more

I should have wrote this review years ago and I am sorry that I haven't! This is our favorite restaurant! This is a place run by an amazing family where you are greeted with hugs in normal times when they get to know you. But almost most importantly, they knew how to switch gears during the pandemic to enact safety policies to ensure the health of themselves, their employees, and their customers. They make you feel like family, to the point where my now husband and I wanted nowhere else to have our very, very, very tiny wedding reception there last year after our tiny outdoor wedding. It was just a very private wedding with a very small handful of immediate family. Mas Alla Del Sol followed covid protocol, but still made it an incredibly special day. Their food is so amazing!! Our favorites are the queso fundito, the lamb shank, the enchiladas, and the taquitos; as well as the verdolagas salad, corn mashed potatoes.... Okay I can just go on and on... lol I highly recommend this place! Just don't keep me from getting a table or bar seat and we will be all good! :) read more

Mas Alla Del Sol - Taquitos - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ok here's the deal. The food was good, the service okay and the price unreasonable. Other reviews noted that but I missed it. Don't make the same mistake I did! Each entree we got was $22, refills on horchata are not free and for two people the meal cost $73 with tip. I know, I know inflation, etc but this was really a shocker. read more

Came here for dinner on a cold December night in 2019. Restaurant was packed with diners when we arrived. The restaurant was cozy and decorated for Christmas. Felt like we were at someone's house. Gave off comfy home vibes. We had the guac and chips as appetizers. One of us had the tilapia tacos. The other had the fajitas with steak, and I had the enchiladas. We had several drinks between the mojito, pomegranate mojito and the mora y piña margarita. The mora y piña margarita was delicious. We also had deserts that we shared. Food was good. Service was prompt. read more

Amazing food, great staff, super clean, quiet and friendly. All the food is made from scratch and it's seriously good. Great value too!

Incredible. Stunning. Delicious. I love bringing my out of town friends here. PLEASE get the queso if you come here, it's incredible. The enchiladas are my favorite entree. :) read more

Ariana is also one of the best. She is very kind and always checking in to see how your food/ experience is going. I love this spot! read more

Have been coming here for years. Always delicious, consistent, and the service is amazing.

Adon is the man! His cuisine is amazing and so authentic. His whole family works at the restaurant, a family affair. Friendly service, great food, and a cheerful dining room. We consider this our favorite Mexican restaurant in the city of Chicago. I ordered the carne asada and chile relleno combination. The steak was cooked perfectly for med rare and the chile relleno was stuffed with queso panela so thick. Heavenly! read more

The drinks are so yummy. Frozen strawberry margarita, soft steak tacos. With really good rice. The service is awesome. Thank you

Nothing negative to say. The food was delicious, the service was great. Fair quiet atmosphere. Will absolutely go back. Prices are higher than the normal Mexican restaurants but it's worth it. read more

It's a good Mexican Restaurant. I had a Carne Asada plate and Chile Arellano and it was all good. It is on the pricey side. Average around 30 a plate I'd say. We had a good time and the service was good. Ambiance, it is a slightly dark place. Crowded, but it was Saturday night I believe. read more

Came here with a small group of friends on Cinco de Mayo. Fortunately we made reservations for an early dinner starting at 530 pm. By the time we left at 730, it was packed and there were people waiting outside to get in. I was dying to try the blood orange margarita they had advertised on their website when I made our reservation. Unfortunately that day they had swapped it out for watermelon. My husband tried it and enjoyed it but I really with they had had the blood orange one. We started with the guacamole and the beef picaditos. Definitely would have both again. For dinner, my husband and I tried the highly recommended whole fried red snapper in garlic sauce. It came with a little salad and rice. So good but sooooo filling. Dinner mate ordered the skirt steak and offered us a piece. We enjoyed the flavors and the tenderness of the steak. Will definitely come back hopefully for a blood orange margarita AND the skirt steak. read more

So the food here isn't bad, but the price point is high, and certain items are a miss. The Nopales were unreal, while the ceviche wasn't really that good. Sopa de mariscos was somewhere in the middle along with the fajitas. Good place for drinks, but pricey for food that's sort of a spin of the wheel of luck. Very good service, though! read more

Our new favorite restaurant in Andersonville!! Everything we had was delicious from the chips & salsa, house margs, fajitas, carne asada y chille relleno combo. The chille relleno is UNREAL. I have never had a better dish at any Mexican restaurant. Would come back 100 times over just for this dish. I wish they would offer delivery!! read more

This place is SO GOOD!! Had an delicious brunch here with my family and a friend who is from the neighborhood. Sat outside on the patio which was lovely and perfectly complemented by a watermelon margarita. Everything we ordered was delicious from the Chilaquiles Verdes and the Asada Tacos, but the Mole was the true star of the show (I regret not getting a picture). Service was fast and friendly too. I feel like I ought to mention that there's a great beach within walking distance as well. Really, what's not to like! I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area! read more

We discovered this beauty during a street fair. We ducked in to beat the heat, and found some of the best food we ever found on accident lovely waitstaff, and amazing food. Check it out! read more

We love this place and have been coming for years. That being said, it has gotten EXTREMELY expensive. It is good quality and tasty food, but you are paying river north prices in Edgewater. Will continue to come here, but will have to be for special occasions. read more

There should be a line around the block, and sometimes there is. Best margaritas in the city, all hand pressed juices. Best homemade family recipes and freshest seafood. Ceviche is a stand out. The lamb shank is to die for served falling off the bone with a creamy mix of corn and mashed potatoes. read more

It is a little unassuming from the outside and inside. Don't let that fool you. The margaritas were delicious. The pork tenderloin special was so, well, tender and perfectly spiced. The Carne Mas Alla Del Sol was wonderfully tender skirt steak cooked and spiced perfectly. It was a very full restaurant on a Friday night, so I recommend reservations. read more

Authentic Fresh and served with love and concern as to if you are satisfied with your order-

A nice cozy Mexican restaurant with friendly staff and solid food. I struggled here between three and four stars as the food is somewhat tasty, but inconsistently so for the price. Nothing that I tried was bad, but at this price level, I feel that a certain quality of cooking and a slightly more generous portion sizes should be expected. In particular, the margarita was forgettable. Nothing about this made it stand out from bargain margaritas I've tried. The rice and refried beans were also very generic and bland with the typical texture of being excessively soft. The item that really stood out for me was the guacamole. Very fresh with a very creamy avocado texture and a nice hint of lime. The crispy texture on the flautas and the marination on the steak was also very nice. But none of these would be considered unique among other good Mexican restaurants. Overall, good food but not really a standout among similarly priced nice restaurants. read more

The food and service were amazing. It was a slow Saturday--they had their brunch menu. I had the chilaquiles; husband had the steak and enchilada. Both were great! The pico de gallo was amazing--really fresh tasting. The flan was perfectly done. Service was very friendly. Now the big problem: It's right next door to Ras Dashen--our favorite Ethiopian restaurant. Decisions decisions! It is definitely pricer than Pilsen--but it a great choice in Edgewater. read more

Mas Alla Del Sol - Chilaquiles verde - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Pretty darn elevated Mexican food. This isn't that snobby stuff, you know who I'm talking about, but it's really solid and most def a cut above. I've been looking for good chilaquiles for a long time and this did not disappoint. Nice amount of spice, but most importantly great chili flavor. My sunny-side-up eggs were spot on perfect, nice and runny yet with a slightly crispy bottom. The chips were nicely al dente, not soggy and not dry. The horchata was damn excellent. Again, great flavor, like HORCHATA flavor. I'm spoiled. My son had the chicken sandwich and also pronounced it excellent. Even the fries were great. It's not budget eats, but you get good value, I feel. It seems to me that they take a bit more time and attention to detail. I'll be back and try other stuff, but really liking it so far. read more

One of the best meals I've had in a LONG time. We ordered the guacamole, which was to die for, and two margaritas to start. For entrees, we had the Tampiqueña and the scallops. Tampiqueña: The meat was cooked beautifully and spiced so well. Very filling, but amazing quality and flavor. Scallops: These were some of the best scallops I have ever eaten. They were tender and fresh, and the chipotle sauce had such a deep flavor but wasn't spicy. Even the rice was perfectly cooked! Will definitely be back to try more on the menu! read more

I was greeted by the sweetest of hostesses today after popping quickly for lunch. I really wanted to go to a local taqueria in the neighborhood and was sad that it was closed. I had heard lots of good things about Mad Alla and figured why not check it out. It was a crazy 92 degrees out today and I hilariously decided to sit outside on their patio. I think it was because I wanna be the only nutball out here and like my privacy. That didn't keep the hostess from making sure that I was well waited on and taken care of. She recommended their special margarita - the xxxxx- . It wa lovely with a slight sweet an shiny of a different flavor. I was torn between getting tacos or a chicken torta sandwich. She immediately recommended the torta. Torta came out w two sauces by my request. I asked for the mayo on the side and some mole. I love mole. Fries were crisps and bartered. Pretty good. Sand which had chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes. My side of mole was $3.50 and I used 1 tablespoon. I questioned it and they immediately took it off the bill. It was kind of them to do so. I just wanted to see what the flavor was like - delicious w a nice kick at the end. Most review will say the food quality is high and I agree. Service was great and thoughtful- very thoughtful. read more

This is a pre-Covid review as I have not been there in months. They only have a few tables outdoors but it's getting cold anyway so who knows what will happen. The bottom line is that this is my favorite Mexican place in the city. It borders on being a bit fancier than the burrito /Taco joint but not quite as fancy as Fronterra or what Mixteco used to be. Everything I have eaten here from the shrimp to carne asada (favorite) to the margaritas, chips and salsa are all delicious. The salsa is really hot though, hotter than some people can even stand but not me. It's also fairly spacious since they have an upstairs and again the said 2-3 tables outside. Though eating outdoors on Broadway isn't all that much of a treat. I can't think of a better restaurant in Edgewater and even though I moved way out west, I still (pre pandemic) drove all the way here to eat. read more

I will always love this place! I am moving to another state next week, and will be coming here for the last time until I return for a visit. The family who owns this restaurant are amazing, the food and margaritas are exceptional! You will never be disappointed! read more

Great service, food was delivered quickly and extra hot. I was craving Mexican and they definitely delivered. Would go back 100%
