    Chimchurri

    Empanadas appetizer (3) Ground beef, Tinga and shrimp with chimichurri! And 2 Taco dinner (skirt steak) and Tinga. Delicious

    Chorizo burrito

    Taco Max Cantina recently opened in the former Select Cut space on Halsted near Diversity. The space itself is fresh, clean and bright and the staff is friendly. They were not busy at all when we went in, just one other table was occupied while we were there. Sadly they do not serve chips & salsa, nor do they have their alcohol license yet (though they are BYOB and the waiter mentioned they are working to obtain one). Food was delicious and fresh and reasonably priced.

    Seriously a legit taco spot. The margaritas are also made with freshly squeezed lime juice. Oh. Happy hour too

    Guacamole and Chips

    First time here since it's new to the neighborhood and we loved it! The service was super speedy and everyone was very nice. They had a variety of margaritas and it was delicious. The food was very authentic and we loved every bite, especially the steak burrito and homemade chips and guac. The prices were very reasonable as well for how much food we got, so a great weeknight dinner place. Will definitely be going back to try more!

    2 Taco Dinner - Al Pastor Taco

    New restaurant opened 3 months ago. Phenomenal food, kind service. I 100% will be coming back. I had the 2 taco dinner, al pastor meat. Absolutely delicious juicy tacos. Highly recommend stopping by here for a very tasty meal.

    Might go as far to say that this is my new favorite steak burrito in Chicago... Al pastor comes with pineapple which is always great. 10/10

    A beautiful, eclectic coffee house just outside of Chinatown, La Malinche was the perfect place for…read morea casual late breakfast. With a cozy locals vibe, there was a mix of young professionals on laptops and families starting the morning. The bright aesethics of Mexican heritage and decor celebrating local artists make the space inspiring and energizing. The coffee was great. I got the horchata latte, which tasted even better than I hoped. I also ordered a El Chavo Torta, a deceptively simple sandwich that was incredibly delicious. I don't know what they put in the bread or what magical place they bought the cheese from, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it. When I'm in Chicago again, La Malinche is on my list of must visit spots.

    Stopped by La Malinche Coffee & Tea House in Pilsen to try something new. Place is nice and quiet…read more Bright pink walls, little decorative hearts, alebrijes all around and full piano in the room. Felt cozy right away. The staff were really welcoming, for an early morning. I got the hot chocolate. Honestly that's exactly what I needed that morning. It had that real Mexican chocolate taste. Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

    Not sure why I had not reviewed this soot earlier, I come here often, in fact I'm here right now…read more Great spot! Set in an old warehouse that is now an art gallery event space and restaurant nestled in an older warehouse district in Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Beautiful decor and laid out perfectly. The natural wood floors furniture ie tables chairs etc and iron work throughout sets the ambiance for old meets new. It works. The wide spacing between tables makes for a comfortable dining experience. So many folks come in to do their work and dine here. What a super addition to the neighborhood that less than a decade ago was essentially a street that was more a run down semi-truck alley. Great menu with neighborhood favorites leaning toward the old school Italian dishes. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfasts just to name a few are all excellent. The pastries are insane and a must take home deal. I love the American Breakfast. Three eggs your way, thick diced America potatoes, thick cut bacon, and sourdough toast. Accompanied by what I believe to be home made jelly and for sure homemade gardiniera. Caruso's gardiniera actually. Diced into a relish unlike most standard gardiniera it's easier to eat with many dishes. Excellent flavor and just the right kick to it. FYI Dolce Arte also sells a to go line of homemade Caruso products from their gardiniera to past and past sauces and more. Yes, their coffee is really good too. Lavazza products I believe. The service is always on point. Casual but on point. Very friendly staff from diverse backgrounds. This is the place you bring people close to you, business lunches, meetings, formal ir informal, or like me, save it for myself as my own getaway spot. It's an artists dream and sets a positive time for any gathering.
