Food was great. The mole is excellent and had passion fruit margaritas. Even had some soup on the house. Very friendly service as well.

It was a lazy Saturday afternoon and I hadn't eaten in a while. I chose Susupuato, because it was the closest in proximity. I expected to make my typical quesadilla order (something completely foolproof), because being Mexican, I get to be a snob about my food. When I arrived at the table, the waiter brought out the chips and salsa and I tasted it and knew immediately the salsa was fresh. I thought to myself, maybe I should branch out. I browsed the menu and it said that they made their mole from scratch so I ordered the mole enchiladas. Amazing! My boyfriend ordered the ribs in salsa verde. The meat fell off the bone Honestly, you could even taste the fullness in flavor in the beans. We also ordered a margarita and a piña colada and flan to go. All was solid. I am now becoming a regular. read more

Susupuato Restaurant - Mole enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Susupuato is such a wonderful neighborhood restaurant. My partner and I have been several times, and decided to go there for our anniversary dinner. We had a lovely time, and delicious food. We shared chips & salsa, and a pitcher of the Traditional Lime Margarita. We also had the Enchiladas Suizas and the Chicken Burrito Dinner. The food is always so fresh and flavorful. Our waiter was very kind and even gave us a shot of tequila on the house to celebrate. The decor and ambiance are beautiful, with excellent music selections and fun decorations. We love coming to Susupuato any chance we can, and will definitely be back! read more

GO. HERE. Tony and his team have created a wonderful restaurant with delicious food and friendly, attentive service. While the name is the same, this is a different restaurant than what you may have visited before. Some special highlights: 1) Margaritas- delicious, large, good value 2) Mole- home-made! The chicken enchiladas mole are extra good 3) Chili relleños- both the cheese and ground beef versions are excellent, not greasy at all 4) Chorizo- speaking of not being greasy, Susupuato takes care to drain off the orange grease for the most delicious burrito, tacos, or nachos (we've ordered them all) Please support this excellent local business that is producing delicious food with friendly service! Tony will take of you!! read more

Excellent food. Excellent service. I absolutely love coming here for date night with my husband, but tonight, brought my family here while they were in town. We had a wonderful time, cannot recommend the mole enchiladas enough-- they are truly heavenly. Also indulged in the flan and margaritas-- such a treat. Tony provided wonderful service, was knowledgeable about the menu, and truly made our experience one to remember. Thank you for making our evening so special!! read more

We moved to the neighborhood five years ago. For the last 4.5 we would travel back to Logan Square to eat at my favorite Mexican restaurant, Puebla. Now we do not have to travel so far for good Mexican food. The people who run the place are very friendly, Tony who takes our order on the phone knows just how I like my chicken tacos. The food is authentic, and prices are good. I love their Pico de Gallo. In fact I would say it is better than the old place. My test of a Mexican restaurant is their Bistec a la Mexicana. They passed with flying colors. read more

It's hard for me to stray from the chicken al pastor tacos, they are spicy and flavorful - not dry at all. When I do order something other than tacos; sopas, enchaladas, gorditas, I certainly don't regret it. Every mole dish is also outstanding and authentically homemade- you gotta try the mole nachos. Also, its always nice to support a small, local, Edgewater business that care about their customers. read more

An overall 10/10 experience! We started off with margaritas, which were both delicious. We were treated to soup on the house! I order the shrimp taco dinner, which was very flavorful and delicious. The service was amazing and the staff was very kind. read more

The Chile relleno is out of this world and the watermelon margarita is so fresh. I highly recommend trying this fantastic restaurant

Chicken fajita quesadilla was delicious!! Everyone enjoyed their dinners. Mole enchiladas were also great!******

From previous reviews it seems like this place changed ownership. I'll speak from my current experience. Restaurant is very cute and clean. The layout is nice and comfortable. The service was great. Very nice waitress with knowledge of the dishes. She served is fast and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was very good and fresh. The camarones a la diabla were good and def spicy. The ribs were served in green sauce. It was very tender fall off home. It was also spicy. Both dishes were very tasty and nicely prepared. We were served a complimentary chicken noodle soup in tomato sauce. It was very good. The chips were fresh and the salsa's were delicious. The dishes came with fresh warm tortillas. I don't know how the previous owners were doing, but the current ones are doing great. The piña colada was delicious You should def give this restaurant a shot. I think their more mainstream dishes like tacos and burritos would be good based on the food we had today. read more

Awesome food. Good service. Not as popular as it deserves to be. The interior is nice as well.

This is my second visit in a while and I highly recommend it. Sadly the only thing I've tried are the tacos with ground beef and they are sinfully delicious. Next time I will try something new. read more

Super delicious and authentic Mexican food, best mole we've ever had! Kind and friendly staff that greeted us with warm soup on the house on a snowy day. Delicious enchiladas Suiza too! Everything great! read more

Had a late dinner here on a Monday night and it wasn't busy. The food was great! We had the steak taco dinner and burrito bowl, as well as complimentary soups and a complimentary coconut flan to go. I unfortunately didn't catch our waiters name, but he was fantastic! Will definitely be back! read more

I thought I reviewed this place already. I'm def a fan of this place. When they changed to opening earlier, I started coming here more. It's convenient to get to since it is pretty close to the Granville Red Line stop. This place is one of my two "I don't feel like cooking" and I'm on my way home places. I like that they offer take-out. I've never had dine-in, but I have had take-out and delivery from this place (delivery when I lived farther away). This is the type of neighborhood Mexican Food place that I love. If you're looking for a trendy Mexican food place, go somewhere else. If you're looking for great tasting food with fairly large portions-go here. 99% of the time, I get some sort of Burrito Dinner to-go. They don't skimp on the meat for the burritos. The lady working at the counter has always been helpful and friendly. read more

I'm been going here for quite some time. This is a very nice restaurant. There is new management and he's working hard to up the game. That's not easy because the food has always been good, this has been a hidden gem food wise, but he's doing it. I'm nuts for the tacos al pastor, and almost always get it. The tres leches cake is wonderful!! The new manager has been making the interior a nicer place, a bit more upscale keeping it casual and friendly. Very nice staff, the service is exceptionally friendly and good. The margaritas are VERY good, and there is a nice beer selection. Although there is no parking lot, I've never had a problem finding parking very close. This place is definitely worth a look. If you do, you'll probably come back. read more

This is absolutely my favorite restaurant in the area! The service is fabulous (TONY IS AMAZING) and you are treated like family the second you walk in the door! It has a cozy atmosphere and the food is fabulous! You get a large portion for the amount you are paying! I can't say enough amazing compliments about Susupuato! read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Chicago! I will continue to go here even after I have moved out of the area because their food and service is so good! The margaritas are FANTASTIC and everything on the menu is fairly priced. The restaurant itself is cute and inviting. I will always be back to Susupuato! Tony is the best! read more

I have eaten there a few times, out of necessity only, because it's a few blocks away. The food is mediocre at the best. When I have been there, I never witnessed more than one other table occupied. How do they stay in business??? I also walk by twice a day for years and look in the window and usually nobody is in there? They are supposed to open at 4pm, but many times nobody's there yet. Somehow, they need a new operator to make the place inviting at least. Other choices are opening nearby [like Flaco's] and this place may not make it. The beer license was a step in the right directions, nice to know there's a bucket of domestics [5] for $15.50= meh..oh can anyone pronounce the name of this restaurant? Also, don't go there on a Sunday, because they are closed! so not family friendly read more

Susupuato Restaurant - This was taken 2 minutes before 4pm opening, no one was there yet. No prepping?? - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Most of the food was good but not special. This included the refried beans and yellow rice. However I had the Gordita dinner as a main course and it was excellent. It was reminiscent in flavor of the best burrito that I ever had. The difference is that it was not a burrito. It was different and fun to eat. I should have asked for hot sauce but it was still very much fun. I sat at a table in the window and watching the foot traffic on Broadway between eating and reading . It was quite an entertaining dining experience. I recommend the Gorditas and ask for hot sauce if you are feeling hot. I could have asked but was done eating as I could not pull myself away. read more

Discovery quite by accident whilst driving around looking for some kind of Latino/Hispanic cuisine. I am not totally unfamiliar with the neighborhood but knew of no specific place for Méxican food. This place beckoned because of convenient parking right in front along busy Broadway. The food was excellent. We had various dishes: chicken, skirt steak, tacos, shrimp, with the standard accompaniments of rice, beans, salad, chips, salsa, and tortillas. The red sauce with chips had true testicular fortitude. Yum! Service was excellent and friendly. The chefs were busting their asses getting orders out of the kitchen. About 15 diners were present. Very airy, clean, and welcoming space. I will return for sure! Highly recommended. read more

The Food was very good and the staff was nice but I must admit I may have been living under a rock (also admit I haven't had Mexican food for awhile) that it's now $22.00 for a burrito dinner?(with small sides of beans and rice) Decided to get an al pastor taco as well and my bill was $29 and change without a tip yet. I guess those days of $10 burritos are long gone. My fault for not checking the prices. read more

We just went for Cinco DeMayo and I had my usual chicken mole enchilada. Also enjoyed a margarita and some guacamole and chips. My partner had pastor tacos. We finished everything and we went home to have a food coma. I can't wait to do it again. read more

Mmmm. Yep, this place is yummy. I've had many a meal here...breakfast, lunch and dinner and have never left disappointed. Chilaquiles, huaraches, tortas, gorditas...yeah it's all good. This place almost reminds me of some of the restaurants in my old neighborhood...Pilsen and the chilaquiles remind me of the ones my mom used to make for me. Sigh. The place isn't really much of anything when it comes to looks but it's clean and service is decent and you'll definitely get a good meal here. read more

This review is only based on their tamales and horchata. We saw TAMALES in the restaurant window and had to order some to go. We told the lady that we didnt want to sit down and eat, but that we wanted to take some tamales to go. She offered us the option to take them home warm or take them home cold. We opted for cold since that kept more of the moisture in after reheating. My only complaint is that they only had pork and chicken tamale, but no veggie tamale. We ordered the pork tamale. Each one was $1.50, or 15 for $12. I came home and reheated one of the tamales and it was yummie!! The tamales were big in size and had a good amount of pork stuffing in it. The meat was pretty tender. The horchata was very sweet, which I love! Delicious! read more

It's my neighborhood restaurant and if they will invest lite money in upgrading the decor I would love to go more often. Food is good (except that complementary soup That seem To be from a can) and it's plenty. I would give a try just to support local businesses! read more

Its always nice to find a new late night spot to get some grub to soak up the liquor I over indulged in. Me and my buddy was totally smashed around 1AM and was in need of food. She knew about this place and I value her opinion so i was like hell yeah. They started us out with chips and salsa and then some of the best horchata i ever had from their machine...I had two cups of it. I then decided to order tacos: carne asada and al pastor! Was pretty damn good and hit the spot. Rice was pretty bland but it helped me in the long run lol. The ladies behind the counter were really nice and got quite a few laughs out of us as they knew the state we were in. Good stuff here! read more

Really disappointed here. The tacos were not really that big although they were a little on the pricey side. Despite trying all different types of meat, the lengua, asada, and al pastor tacos didn't really taste too different from each other as they were actually mostly tasteless and a bit dry with the meat (the chorizo was definitely different, but wasn't that great either). Unfortunately, the chopped parsley and onion really did nothing to add flavor to the tacos and simply just contributed to creating a mess while eating. read more

Love love love this place! Everyone is super nice and welcoming, food is yummy, and drinks are delicious. Very authentic. Highly recommend.

This is one of my favorite spots. I think I've eaten everything on their menu. Chicken torta =bomb Beef soup aka Caldo de red = bomb digity ( great for when your sick) chicken tamales = homemade awesomeness...smother it with green salsa! Bowl = delicious with steak, beef, or chicken Tony is usually my server and he is so sweet and friendly. He remembers his customers and makes sure he always refills your water, tortillas, etc. read more

I started off with the Horchata and chicken tamale with chips and salsa. My entre was the steak fajita burrito dinner and I ended the meal with flan. Service was great, I came in at 10 and finished promptly at 10:59, right before closing. The Horchata was more cinnamon than anything, I've had better. The chicken tamale was sort of bland, I've had better and worse. The burrito was huge but it was mostly stuffed with peppers. Disappointing. The rice was bland but good with the retried beans. The flan was thick and not gelatin like, just how I like it but the flavor was off. I'd come again to try the chimichanga. read more

So good, tacos were delicious and the service was fantastic, they brought us complimentary soups

This is my families favorite Mexican spot. The new management definitely puts the customer first and knows how to make some amazing authentic food. I've been working my way through the menu and have never been disappointed! Every dish is so tasty. Also their margaritas are perfect! This is what a Mexican restaurant is supposed to be! read more

I've eaten here several times. The restaurant is a seat yourself establishment with table service, also BYOB. They typically bring over a basket of chips with a red and green salsa at the beginning of the meal. I had the chicken burrito most recently, and I have also had the veggie burrito in the past. Their burritos are grilled, giving them a great finish, and each time I've eaten here, it's been perfect. The staff is also accommodating, friendly, and uninvasive. I plan to eat here many times in the future. read more

Susupuato is a satisfactory place to grab a meal. If you're hungry and don't feel like cooking, it's basic Mexican food with a decent price. The delivery option is nice too, especially on cruddy days, but beware, they are so slow--sometimes a full hour to deliver tacos. read more
