Looooove this place!! If you are looking for a hole in the wall, no frills, authentic Mexican restaurant...then this is not the place for you. Quiubo has fantastic margaritas (some of the best I've ever had) and cocktails. No artificial flavors or syrups are used so they're fresh and delicious every single time. They don't use margarita glasses, which I prefer, since places that do use them typically have bad and overly citrusy/sweet margs. Their bartending staff is limited since the bar space is a little small so drinks can take a while but it doesn't bother me since the drinks are amazing and worth the wait in my opinion. The food is pricey and the portions small, but this is a fancier/gourmet Mexican restaurant. You're paying for the quality ingredients. Aside from the price, the food itself is really good. Even though this place has "fancier" Mexican food, all of it is authentic and delicious. But, like I mentioned earlier, if you want no frills Mexican food, this is not the place for you. I come here at least once a month and am never disappointed! Pricing is on par with Chicago restaurants of this caliber which is the trend Naperville is heading towards so take that into consideration if you're trying to find somewhere cheap to eat. read more

Quiubo - Pepino & sandia margaritas - Mexican Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

We were sat down immediately and our waitress came and greeted us. She was very lively, lovely and attentive. The place was very nice and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. I got the pastor tacos, esquites and the fresona. The fresona was pretty tasty, my date said it was a bit strong, I personally thought it was fine. The esquites were pretty tasty as well but a tad bit salty. The pastor tacos were also pretty good but I was kinda let down, usually pastor tacos are made with a fatty pork meat not ground pork. Also the meat mixture had a similar texture to chili, which was weird. However, they still tasted good. My date enjoyed his food and while it was pretty good it wasn't anything to rave about 3.75/5. read more

Quiubo - Mexican Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Having a best friend who is sober, I've been to a lot of bars and tried a lot of N/A cocktails. Quiubo is a favorite of hers so we go often. They have a couple of N/A cocktails that are really delicious using N/A spirits. They might cost $13 each, but at least they don't taste like you're drinking a Snapple. As a former bartender, she's really picky about her mocktails. We like to sit at the bar for drinks and chips/guac, but we come here for tacos and esquites sometimes too. It's a great restaurant with great food and service On nice days, sit outside. It's covered and shaded and a nice way to have lunch or dinner read more

We had margaritas here before and decided to eat here too. First of all, the margaritas are served in a gin and tonic glass not a traditional margarita glass. They were also more yellow than green and kind of small, and just OK not as good as we remembered. We both ordered tacos, and my wife's tacos came to the table, but mine didn't appear until 10 minutes later. Not ideal and that's never happened to us at a restaurant before. The place was not busy either. Their tacos are very small, compared to most places, and they almost all have odd, nontraditional ingredients in them like pineapple, squid ink, etc.. Also there are no chips and salsa unless you buy them, which is unheard of around here for a Mexican restaurant. We passed on the guacamole, because they put a pear on top. On guacamole? Come on!Their tacos are all à la carte and if you want frijoles, you have to order them on the side additionally. Our waiter answered all our questions about the ingredients in the salsa sauce and did a good job with that. They have big hydraulic windows that they can raise when the temperature allows it. They were of course down when we were there as it was cool out. We also found a 3% "Restaurant Surcharge" added to our bill. It was marked "optional" so I guess you could ask them to take it off. read more

The service was disappointing. The waitress didn't seem interested in serving us and didn't even bother refilling our water. We were charged $20 for four "mini" tacos, even though the menu listed them as regular tacos. When we asked for hot sauce, she brought a tiny container and added an extra $2 to our bill for it. Not recommended, and we will not be returning. read more

Quiubo - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Comfortable restaurant near the Naperville downtown River walk. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for outside and it was a great day for it. There were some showers for 5 minutes but the outdoor seating had a cover so we did not get even a drop on us. It took a few minutes for our server to get to is, though she was friendly and provided good service once she started interacting with us. We order the Trio Botanero and half order of Cecina, Pollo Asado, and Pastor. All the food was great! Favorite was probably the Cecina. The meat was so tender and flavors balanced so well. All three are good choices! read more

Who doesn't ask a taco place is they have Taco Tuesday deals? Yuuup, this gal right here. Don't be me, lol, make sure to see if they have any deals if dining in on a Tuesday. And please let me know if they have any, haha. If you're looking for a city-ish vibe without the paid city parking Quiubo is the place for it. There is plenty of parking lots within walking distance and also street parking (if lucky, you'll be able to snag a spot). This place is cute and gives off a 'I'm at an all inclusive resort' vibe. Within seconds of walking in my friend and I were greeted by a staff member and seated. Service throughout was pretty good, our server checked in on us the perfect amount. Our app took a bit to come out but other than that everything else was timed out well. I started with the mango mamon cocktail. This drink is tequila based and fruity. I enjoyed it! For food we started out with the chicken flautas. They did NOT look appealing and unfortunately it also fell short. The chicken was waaaaaay overcooked. The green sauce was good but this is something that I would pass on going forward. We then ordered 2 full orders of tacos - pescado and the bien trucha. Both were very delicious and flavorful. The reason why I took off 1 star - Quiubo is on the pricey side with small portions. I understand quality over quantity but is it THAT good given the steep prices and small portions? Meh, IDK read more

Went here for the first time with our family and Quiubo is amazing! We have lived in Naperville for about six months and moved out here from southern CA which is the US capital of Mexican food and I can say Quiubo can definitely compete! The ambiance and crowd is amazing and the servers/staff were incredibly attentive. The guacamole trio was great (had to ask for more chips a couple times because the proportion of chips to guacamole was too small). Got a margarita which was great. We also got the bien trucha tacos and the carnitas tacos and both of those tasted amazing. I don't know why some people give this place a low rating because yes the food can be pricey but it is top quality. If you want cheap Mexican food and don't care about cleanliness and atmosphere, go to a hole in the wall. If you want good, Mexican food and drinks, amazing ambiance, and quality food, go to Quiubo. read more

This place has very good food and ambience but I consistently have two major gripes: 1. It takes too long to get a drink. I'm not sure if it's a lack of bartenders or what but literally 20 mins a drink. 2. For the love of god pick up some flour tortillas for children's quesadillas and some chicken fingers, and some ranch dressing from Costco and keep it in your refrigerator. No child likes corn tortillas. Being "authentic" is really annoying and costs you a lot of business when parents cannot get a decent meal a child will eat from your restaurant. Go to Costco. Get the flour tortillas and chicken nuggets and watch your revenue spike by 20 percent. You're welcome. read more

Server is really kind great service 10/10 reason I came back. Time to receive food was about 5-8 minutes not too busy on a Sunday afternoon. Watermelon margarita doesn't fail me 8/10. Ordered Half orders of Playero taco: shrimp so good! The sauce was delicious great flavor profile Bien trucha: it was much better the first time but still good Pastor: 8/10 not too oily and great flavor Barbacoa: 7.5/10 I'd definitely order the playero and al pastor again. read more

My husband and I came here for a date night this weekend and couldn't have had a better experience. We were actually only going to get drinks here before getting dinner somewhere else. However, the drinks were SO good that we ordered the guacamole and pass as appetizers. Those were delicious that we just stayed and had our full meal here. To top off the amazing drinks and food, we had the best server who took care of us from beginning to end. Ask for Leo next time you go! You will not be disappointed! We will be back just to see Leo! read more

I was invited here for a group event and was excited to try it when I found out it's a sister restaurant to Bien Trucha in Geneva which I love. The food and service was outstanding. Wait staff walked around with trays of cocktails first. I chose the Blood Orange Spicy Margarita which had just the right amount of spice. When they brought out Creamy Pimento Soup I said that I would pass because I was gluten free but the waiter said he would check and came back smiling to tell me to enjoy it because the soup was gluten free. Every waiter that came by after that told me what was gluten free...they passed the word! Impressive! Fun decor and nearby free parking garage also make this restaurant a go to in Naperville. read more

The service was excellent, the food was very delicious, and the drinks were delicious.

Came for dinner with a group of 7 (no reservation) and we were able to be seated right away. We started with the guac trio for the table which was good and nice to try a few different guac variations. The chips were nice and crunchy as well. We ordered several tacos so everyone could try something that appealed to them. I tried the rajas con papa which was okay but nothing special. It could have used more poblano and maybe another veggie. The pescado taco was good and has a nice flavor but the fish was not very crispy. I also tried the pulpo and thought that the flavor was okay but I was not a fan of the texture of the octopus. Others at the table enjoyed the bien trucha. Overall, the selection of tacos is good but the menu as a whole is very limited. The food I had was good not great but the service was excellent and the ambiance is nice and relaxing. read more

The food was fantastic. The bartender Alex was excellent and the ambiance was so comfortable!!!

Quiubo- I still don't know how to pronounce that word! The food is good. Overpriced, absolutely- for the portion size. Tacos are 1/2 order (2 tacos) = $11 or full order (4 tacos) = $18. Guac is $11 for an ice cream scoop of cold guac- I'm happy to pay a premium for guac... because they're making it table side... but Quiubo seems like they're profiting off people "always" ordering the guac so they make a bunch, throw it in the fridge and then serve it up. Also the amount of chips with the teeny scoop of guac was ridiculous for $11! Two of us ended up ordering 2 orders of guac! $22! The tacos were basic- the main protein with one thing on top. I got the shrimp tacos with a slice of avocado on top. My friend got the steak tacos with a slice of pineapple on top. Nothing warranting that price tag. $66 for 2 people without alcohol. I'll skip this place next time:( read more

Cool location, ambiance and food is very good. Small portions for $$$. If you have a problem with small portions this is not your place. I had a few different baby street tacos. Would have loved the fish to have been grilled and not fried but it was good. The mushroom one was very good too. I was not Full but satisfied. Great service. Bien trucha group so familiar when I was eating there. read more

Ugh so yum. I came here with my mom for the first time a while ago! I haven't stopped thinking about the Pepino margarita (I asked for the jalapeño infused liquor and it was actually spicy but like.. still sooo good.) The tacos were so yummy too! I didn't get the try any of the apps but they looked great as well. We tried a variety of tacos (maybe a total of 4-5 different ones) and all were very tasty. I think maybe one of those 5 I would give a 6/10 but the rest were undoubtedly delicious. The only downfall to this place is pricing but that's what you get for quality food in a boujee location!! I also like that you can order tacos in groups or 2 or 4. I'm telling you this place is a more upscale, more delicious version of Fat Rosie's with better ambiance and nicer staff!! read more

Another place for Mexican American food. It has prices typical around here. Quiubo is okay but overpriced. Has some good drinks including the margaritas. The vegetarian choices are poor but they have tacos. Came in with a girl for lunch. It wasn't too busy and we sat at the bar and ordered. The place gets crazier when it's later and they crank the music up. It was pretty quiet at lunch. We had the typical Mexican drinks, including the Margarita Tradicional. It's $12 for a pretty small ass one. This was good but the price was a ripoff. It just wasn't enough in the glass to justify it. This is made with Exotico Blanco, lime, and orange liquor. As for the food, we had one of the few vegetarian items. This was the Aguacate Tacos. It's $8 for a pretty small ass one. See a pattern? Pretty expensive but pretty good flavor. This has aioli, which we left off, avocados, and pineapple pico de gallo. Good place to hang at downtown. It closes after lunch. They open back up for dinner weekdays. read more

This place is in Downtown Naperville right by the river. The decor was really cool! They had neon lights, wall paintings, and tons of seating. They also have outdoor seating for the summer. To drink I got a frozen daiquiri and the flavor was pink guava. Super good and refreshing definitely recommend trying. We got guacamole and queso fundido de shishitos for the table. The guac was pretty standard. The queso was good, but some of my family thought it was kinda salty by itself. You are given tortillas with the queso so it cuts the saltiness and is delicious combo. For dinner I got the playero tacos. I really liked these! It's got a creaminess from the aioli but also a tanginess from I think the onion and cilantro. The combination of flavors and texture made it an enjoyable dish. Overall really enjoyed this place and definitely will be back! read more

Quiubo - Playero taco - Mexican Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

This is probably the best Mexican restaurant in Naperville. Love everything about it, food, service, ambiance.

Quiubo definitely left an impression last time we were there. We came back this time around with the intention of trying more items off their menu... and we brought some newbies with us to experience quality tacos at its finest! Our order: - Crema Poblana soup 5/5 Creamy, flavorful soup w/ bits of potatoes and cheese. It kinda reminded me of a broccoli cheddar soup but better! - Pastor taco: 5/5 The BEST Al pastor tacos around (CHEFS KISS !! ) - Pollo en salsa verde: 5/5 great mix of flavors with the marinated chicken, pickled onions and green salsa - Carnitas: 4/5 marinated pork w/ a healthy amount guacamole salsa & onions - Bien Trucha: 5/5 Melted cheese slathered over steak and chorizo... need I say more?!? - Pescado tacos: 5/5 Big pieces of fried fish with a mound of salsa slaw - Chicken Flautas: 4/5 crunchy like taquitos with green and red salsas on top - Churros: 4/5 (They need a scoop of ice cream w/ this to take it over the top) read more

Food was good, but portions are small. Pricey for what you receive. Seating is tight, no way to have a private conversation. Biggest issue is how they serve food. Served my wife 5 min. before me. She was about done when mine was served. Looks like they just pick up food and deliver when ready. Not an enjoyable meal. And the kicker is they and a bogus 3% charge to bill. That is not right. read more

I have been here a couple times and each time is a huge hit. When you think about tacos, this is the best there is in the area. First, the ambiance is great. It is modern and trendy without being too classy or elegant. However, it is rather intimate with close seating and dimmed lights. The bar is nice and looks classy. The margaritas are bomb. They are a bit on the sweeter side which I really enjoy, but not that sticky sweet you find with mixers. One of my favorite things about this restaurant is their seasonal guacamole. As the seasons change they have fruit mixed in with their guacamole such as watermelon or peaches. This adds brightness creating a delicious flavor profile. Of the tacos I have tried, my favorites are the pastor, pescado, and pollo asado. The pastor is the absolute best though. The pineapple makes everything so fresh and I love a bit of sweetness with the spice. One order has two tacos and any sides are extra, so it can get a bit pricy. The rice is really good and the corn is really delicious as well. I havent tried their deserts, but I bet their tres leches cake is delicious. The service is always good as well. Sometimes I have sat at the bar and sometimes we get a seat, but they always try their best to accommodate us. Sometimes it can be hard because they are always packed, especially on a weekend. It is best to make a reservation if you are able, but seating at the bar is usually available if you are going a bit earlier. I will absolutely be back and I hope it is always good the more I go. read more

I used to love the guacamole here, but today it was extra spicy--my husband who loves spice said it was extra hot for him. We mentioned it to our waitress but she said they pre-make it so you have to eat it the way it arrives. Huh? How about making it mild, and letting people add spice? The Barbacoa tacos were good and had a much milder flavour. The fruit fruit margaritas were good but very weak. We also ordered the rice and the bean side dishes (meh--very mushy textures there with little flavour but yes, not spicy). I'd say, overall, order from Chipotle, and eat it on a park bench in downtown Naperville, if it's a nice day. Save money, and then get a drink from Sullivan's. Also, they're still adding a 3% random charge to your check held over from covid. Huh? If you like spicy food, this is your place. For us, we'll move on.....$81 for 4 small tacos, 2 weak drinks, 2 blah sides, and 1 over spiced guacamole. I know we can do better. read more

Fun little spot along the river. We'll call this a fancy Mexican restaurant considering the sides are a la cart and entrees are served pretty (not your typical neighborhood or chain restaurant). Tuna tacos were amazing as was the trio guacamole appetizer (each one was topped with something different). Flautas were good but a little too fancy for me. Bien Trucha (carne asada tacos) were good with a little bit of spice to them. Pastor tacos were good, nice add to have pineapple on top. Would not recommend the churro bites. They were cooked a little too long for my tastes. Atmosphere is nice, lighting at night is dark; it was hard to read the menu so we had to get out our phone flash light to read it. Wait staff was friendly and attentive, but what's up with the small water glasses?! I felt sorry for the waitress who had to keep bringing us water. Overall, giving this place only 3 stars because of the small water glasses, a la carte sides and my 18 year old leaving the restaurant hungry after spending $70 (4 entrees, 1 appetizer, water, churros and 1 side of rice). Bottom line, don't come super hungry but do come to enjoy fine Mexican dining and the nice atmosphere. read more

First time here today as a recommendation from a friend. We made reservations for lunch at 12PM. It was me, my friend and my 1 year old. Upon arriving we were greeted by a gentleman who wasn't very accommodating. Pros: Food, drinks, service from our waiter. Our waiter was very knowledgeable of menu and provided amazing service! Cons: Not accommodating, not baby friendly, no high chairs, just big kid boosters. Food was delicious. We started off with the trio appetizer & we both loved the elote dip. So yummy! Guac was good too but elote dip was our fave! Place is like a tapas style Mexican food type of place. We ordered pescado tacos, flautas, & quiubo tacos. We both agreed that everything was delicious. They had a dry January drink menu which consisted of mocktails. Both drinks we ordered were pretty and delicious. Definitely recommend. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with murals and witty signs. Really loved this! Overall, clean and beautiful! 4 stars instead of 5 bc of my interaction with the host (maybe manager). Very rudely insisted we sit on the high top table bc I had a stroller. I asked for a regular table but he said stroller wouldn't fit. I didn't understand why the tables couldn't be moved. So we went ahead and sat at the high top table. Anyone who has kids knows hightop chairs/tables are not baby or kid friendly. Other than this interaction, I recommend this place. read more
