Huge, delicious tacos that came out hot and quick. The shrimp tacos were perfectly crispy. The steak tacos were my favorite and my son liked chicken tacos best, but everything we tried was great. The margarita was perfect. And the salsa had just the right amount of heat.
The place is nice while still having a casual decor. It would be perfect for a casual date night. We took our older kids and enjoyed dinner at a table. (The stools have no backs, so I wouldn't bring younger kids.) We're definitely going back soon.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Antonio S.Chicago, IL121Dec 21, 2023Updated review
I just found my goto margarita bar! This place is truly something special. There is definitely a lot of passion behind the varios tequila and mezcal creations. I can't wait to be back!
Please realize that it is incredibly difficult to find this caliber of quality margaritas for only $10. This place is perhaps the best margarita bar in Chicago.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Dec 18, 2023Previous reviewI found my goto margarita bar!

I went to this cocktail bar a few nights ago with a friend. We loved it! Margaritas were fresh and delicious as were the tacos and esquites. But most of all the service the service was efficient and friendly. And a welcoming atmosphere as well. A great place! We'll be back soon.

My husband and I were in the area and popped in last night out of curiosity because Mexican is our fave, and we're so glad we did. It's a perfect spot with a Michelin-trained chef and bartender, and the drinks are excellent and so reasonably priced. I've been raging against $15-$17 cocktails that are mediocre at so many Chicago restaurants. Louis' margaritas are some of the best you'll have (I am an insufferable snob about margaritas, I promise I know what I'm talking about), and are $10 (other bartenders note: this is what a classic cocktail should cost). The crispy shrimp taco was my fave, my husband loved the fish taco (they were all great). I hugely appreciate his vision to bring a small menu of classic Mexican fare to the area - Raizes translates to roots, and Louis talked about the importance to bring authentic Mexican food out in his restaurant. Well done.

We finally tried this place after it changed names. The food and cocktails are delicious. I had the shrimp, sweet potato, and cauliflower tacos. Great presentation on the Churro Con Cafe and it was tasty. We will be back.

Both were delicious. We sat inside but they have cute outdoor seating. We had no expectations when coming into the restaurant but it was great and we will be back.

Five stars for the best $10 classic margarita in the city. The bartender was friendly too.

Love the multiple delicious Mezcal drink options on the menu. Food is good too. My favorites are the Esquites, Sweet Potato and Crispy Shrimp Tacos! Drink wise we loved the Aire Del Desierto and the Mexican Penicillin. Carlos was awesome. Looking forward to lots of patio summer action here soon! Thank you.

The head chef is very passionate about making high quality food without the high prices and really likes to hear what customers have to say about their experience. We went to brunch on Sunday and had a great experience! The chorizo tacos were made to perfection, so flavorful without being greasy. Like mentioned in a previous review, this place has been rebranded. It was Spicy Mexican Grill and now they make margaritas and old fashions! I had a jalapeño cilantro margarita and a cucumber margarita (so refreshing), they were outstanding! What are you waiting for?
