Avocado toast was unique and superb. Al atun was a delight, as always. Love the big, bright windows, especially on a beautiful day. We scored plush chairs today, felt so deluxe! read more

Service here was great, 5 stars! Loved the cocktails as well, 5 stars! The food was ok, 3 stars, nothing knocked it out of the park for me. The servings for tapas as decent size. We had all tapas- salmon, paella, barbacoa. My favorite was the salmon dish. The place has a very nice atmosphere. The location in Plainfield is off the beaten path. read more

What a great experience! We weren't expecting the direction provided by our server Norma. We got there soon after opening and she let us know the favorites and what was on special. Thankfully for National Tequila Day their ladies margarita deal was available. Buy one margarita at full price, your second margarita is 1/2 price. Additionally, they ran happy hour specials M-F, 4:00-5:00. Great meal, great service and a cute atmosphere. The bar is so inviting to just get a quick drink and bite to eat. read more

Came here for the first time and really enjoyed it. Definitely more of a date night or girls night. Really enjoyed my tacos Al Chilango. The fires threw me off a bit but was good. My husband got Al Alembre, he said he liked mine better but his was ok. Kids got the chicken quesadillas and loved it. We also got ala papa bravas and that was my favorite!!!! The prices were a bit high but as expected now days. Server was super nice and very attentive. read more

Service was exceptional. Food was acceptable. Cocktails are overpriced, especially for the suburbs.

We went for happy hour. I had a delicious cucumber cocktail. Then we orders a few plates to share the guacamole and chips were amazing. The chips were flaky like I like. Really liked the papas bravas with the egg too. Everything was served like a work of art. read more

Altiro Latin Fusion - Ever see a taco this pretty? - Latin American Near Me - Plainfield, Illinois

We have gone for brunch and dinner and the food is absolutely delicious. My go to drink is the Sangrona which is muddled strawberries with tequila, orange juice and lime. For dinner, I typically order Al Alambre. It's steak and chorizo with peppers onions and cheese. Served with tortillas and a yummy green salsa. Go for brunch and order the Altiro Breakfast. It is a tortilla topped with potatoes, chorizo, perfectly scrambled eggs, avocado, sour cream and (crazy as it sounds) Ketchup. It is the most delicious combination. It is also served with orange juice and a cup of coffee. Now, I am not a coffee drinker but, this coffee has a nice cinnamon flavor and I absolutely enjoy it. Service is always excellent. Marco waits on us often and he is friendly and efficient. The restaurant is beautifully decorated throughout and there is no shortage of seating. They have a large bar area with multiple tv's to enjoy a drink and a quick bite. I know there have been complaints about the prices. The thing is, you get what you pay for. If you want Taco Bell prices, go to Taco Bell. My husband's breakfast this morning included 4 eggs and the cost was only $10! Considering the cost of groceries these days, that's a darn good price. The highest price meal on the menu is $25. Compared to other restaurants in that area, they aren't the highest overall priced restaurant. Overall, this place is fantastic and I hope others will give it a try and realize what a gem this place really is. read more

Went here for New Year's Eve. Service was great. From the minute we walked into the restaurant until we left, everyone was really friendly and tentative. The ambiance was nice. Very clean and although it's a small location the tables where far enough from one another. The food I will say wasn't that great. I feel like it was definitely overpriced ñ. I highly recommend if your going to get different things, as the food is shareable. Wouldn't go again because of the price. If the food was better tasting then price wouldn't be an issue. read more

Pros: nice staff, good location Cons: Not family oriented, not a place for kids. Cheap uncomfortable seating. The table was not sturdy. A table for 2 was awful. Food was over priced and too much sauce. Not a good assortment of food options. Drinks were way too expensive $14-16, for a small mixed drink with mostly ice. Even a beer was overpriced. Ridiculous! This restaurant is not right for Plainfield, maybe downtown Naperville would suit it better. I miss Front Street when it was in its hay day. Always had a crowd and good reasonably priced food and drinks. I won't be back, this restaurant won't make it like many others that have tried. Basic family restaurants that serve burgers, steaks, pizza, breakfast, Mexican and Italian seem to survive the long haul. Sorry I wish I could say positive things but... read more

Went here and tried a few different dishes. Definitely a clean Latin fusion cater to the demographics. Service was great.

Don't come here, if you're hungry, TINY portions, expensive food and drinks with poor execution. Food is tapas style, but you can't share with more than 1 person. We had Al Camaleon which was good flavor but only had 4 bite sized tacos, Al Limón chicken, was so bad, we had to send it back to the kitchen, it was hard and rubber like, no flavor and the potatoes didn't have any season, not even salt. The Ala Paella was the best dish, but still lacked the execution. The tuna was over cooked, hard and dry. The Ala Barbacoa was decent, but I've had better at other restaurants for less. The last two dishes would be better as a meal for one person, who isnt very hungry. They are trying to act like a Michelin star restaurant, with the small portions, but they just lack the execution. This place is an over priced Mexican restaurant with zero fusion. read more

Food was amazing!!! Cafe De olla delicious service was fantastic.. Good music, good location it's cozy.

Overall we don't plan to return to this restaurant. The restaurant is nice in the inside, and is a cute hangout. However, it is quite hidden compared to the rest of downtown. The cocktails were the biggest miss for us, they fell a bit flat and the purée used was very chunky. We like the quac trio, and the steak tacos were great. The pork belly tacos were nothing special. Dessert was just ok. Service was quite slow, and that was what deterred us the most. There were only two servers and the restaurant was fairly filled. read more

The food, drinks, and ambiance was phenomenal. I took my family here on Sunday and we got the Barbacoa, salmon, and skirt steak tacos (tapas style) - all delicious. My son got the cheese quesadillas (the first he actually ate). The drinks were on point. I enjoyed the margarita, mezcal old fashioned - chef's kiss. Finally, the service was the best I received in the area. I rarely post reviews, but this place deserved it. Michael, or KQ, checked on us throughout the meal and made sure we had a fantastic experience. Check it out read more

Great experience all around, service was great, food tasted awesome, I recommend this location for Latin food experience

Service and food were 10/10. We will absolutely make it a point to come here often to keep this gem in the heart of Plainfield. Drinks (margaritas) were so balanced and palatable while still potent. We tried the traditional guacamole, patatas bravas and fried tilapia tacos. Truly enjoyed everything. Sat outside on the patio. Felt like we were on vacation. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect, since it was empty when we arrived at 4:30 on a Sunday, but was so happy with our meal! I loved the Al Pepino vodka drink, hubby had the Ala Coladita which was yummy but kind of girlie for him, he had a beer after. Started with the Guac trio and it was amazing guacamole. Asked for more chips which were crunchy and homemade. He ordered Al Alambre and I had the Al Frito. Both were so good and we actually shared them since they liked them so much. Definitely a lot of food! Will be back read more

I think I understand the business strategy of the owner. Open up subpar latin "fusion" cuisine in a prominently white neighborhood. This way you have a large margin of error when serving subpar Latin cuisine. We ordered the tilapia, skirt steak, guacamole, and ceviche. As our dishes arrived, the question, why is this place called a tapas restaurant came to mind. The guacamole consisted about 4 1/2 tablespoons of non-ripe avocados. This dish cost $14.50 as we were chewing hard bits of avocado my wife and I were thinking what did we get ourselves into? The next course that arrived was the beer battered tilapia. This definitely was not a tapas. There were four chunks of heavily battered fish, where the batter to fish ratio was three to one. Underneath the four heavily battered pieces of fish was a glop of heavily sauced, mayo, covered cabbage. I think it's was supposed to be a coleslaw. This was a disaster. The next dish that arrived was the ceviche. There were four circular tortilla chips with spoonfuls of ceviche on top. This ceviche was not fresh and consisted of overly cured pieces of fish. This dish was also a plating fail. There was nothing bite-size about this dish. Why was it served on top of individual tortillas? It would've made a lot more sense to let customers scoop the ceviche from a bowl or plate. The last dish was the skirt steak. This consisted of overly salted overly cooked pieces of meat, smothered with cheese and topped with bits of grilled vegetables. Nothing special here nothing good. I can't help but feel disappointed with this meal. There was nothing special nor resembled tapas here. You could've had a better Latin dining experience at any Mexican diner in Plainfield. The only "fusion" restaurant achieved was terrible food with a subpar experience. read more

Regrettably, despite its prime location in Downtown Plainfield, the restaurant fails to live up to its hype. While the patio has a great ambiance, the food and drink were extremely sub par. We started with the elote and a haphazardly plated guacamole trio, which were okay but given the price I would have much rather gone to any of the other great downtown Plainfield restaurants. The simple shrimp tacos, while not terrible, lacked anything to make me want to order them again. However, the complete downfall of our meal at Altiro was reached upon encountering the horrendous mussels, whose overpowering fishiness could not even be masked by the rich red sauce and rendered even the accompanying rustic garlic bread inedible. Upon expressing our dissatisfaction to the server regarding the quality of the mussels, we were met with a lack of acknowledgment or apology. My complaint was not merely based on personal taste but rather a concern these spoiled mussels would be served to another customer. We were offered a dessert to "make us happy" or maybe remove the lingering taste of seawater from our mouths but declined as we lost our appetite from the fishy mussels. Overall, a pretty pricey bill for an awful meal. read more

New Tapas spot in downtown Plainfield. The drinks are phenomenal and the food transports you out of the midwest. We got a few mezcal cocktails that were amazing. The salsas are spiced perfectly, the paella is almost too much to share. The service of Marco and Rafael made us comfortable and invited in. There was no rush to leave after eating. read more

Came here with my family on a Saturday evening. They were severely understaffed. Two servers on a Saturday night! As such, service and wait time for food was horrible. We ended up having to get our own water from the bartender after asking for more water multiple times. Server just sort of laughed it off. " Oh sorry, we're very busy!" Will not be coming back. read more

What a great addition to downtown Plainfield! Came here with my husband for dinner and immediately fell in love with the decor and atmosphere inside. It's the perfect mix of trendy & upscale with the pretty crystal candelabra at the bar and cozy mood lighting. ALL of their margaritas sounded amazing so I tried 3 of them. I had the Al margarita (which is essentially a classic marg) the Ala sangrona with fresh strawberries & the Al Jarrito with fresh grapefruit. Honestly they were all delicious but the Ala sangrona was one of the best margs I have EVER had. We split the guacamole trio & the Al atun which is seared yellowfin ahi tuna served on crisps with yummy sauces. Both tasted so fresh & flavorful. Love their tortilla chips. We each ordered tacos & shared them. My husband got the skirt steak & I got the garlic shrimp. You get 4 tacos to an order but they are very small. My only complaint is that this place is pretty expensive for what you get. $18.50 for 4 small tacos and no sides and $14 for a margarita are basically downtown Chicago prices. We loved the drinks, enjoyed the food and our server was great so we will be back but just be prepared for a higher than normal bill for the area! read more

I am so happy to discover Altiro Latin Fusion in the space that previously was occupied by Front Street Cantina in downtown Plainfield. Altiro brings a new culinary experience to Plainfield that is long overdue! On my first visit I tried the ceviche appetizer, which had an unexpected, unique and beautiful presentation. Infused with bright citrus notes and served on tortilla rounds topped with a savory sauce and watercress.. delicious! The margaritas are made with fresh squeezed juice (as they should be) and not overly sweet. On weekdays before 5, they are $10 and I highly recommend popping in for happy hour. I also tried the fish tacos which are served with a mango compote adding a sweetness to the spice. I can't wait to go back and try more. The highlight of my meal was the amazing elote which has a richness and complexity of flavors I have not experienced in any other elote that I've tried. On the menu it's Al Elotito and the chef touts it as truly authentic Mexican street food. It is a must-try dish. Our server was friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is modern, comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. Feels like a Chicago restaurant in the 'burbs. read more

Website says they opened at 10. Arrived at 10:25 for a 10:30 reservation we made online. Doors were locked. Waited in car and watched people try door and leave. Yeesh. At this point though we are comimitted. At 1030 the doors open and we go in. Nice ambiance. The waiter was very helpful explaining the menu. We went with brunch. I'm not a foodie. I had something with beef and my wife had something with chicken. We both had a strawberry mimosa. The Food was So tasty. It made me want to go again and try the dinner menu. Thats the mark of a good place. I would like to come back. read more

Good tacos and drinks. Maybe a bit on the pricey side but that's everywhere these days.

We came to Altiro for brunch. This was our second visit. The first was not long after they opened. The service wasn't great but we thought maybe it was because they were still new. So we decided to give it another try. We arrived shortly after opening and there was only one other table occupied. The first table they wanted us to sit at, the chair was dirty with food so I asked if we could sit at the next table and mentioned the chair was dirty. The waitress seemed a little annoyed but I thought maybe it was just me. Also, neither of us saw her clean the chair. I ordered a meal that came with an orange juice and a coffee but she never brought them. When she gave us the bill, I asked if she could take anything off since I never got my OJ or coffee and she abruptly and rudely said "No, they're small anyway." My boyfriend happened to be looking down at his phone and jerked his head up so quick because he couldn't believe she answered the way she did. No apologies or anything about not bringing them out. I was shocked as well but just said ok, that's fine. Her service was reflected in the tip that was left and that was the last time we will be eating at Altiro. read more

So glad I tried this place. We originally went to the one in Aurora and were really disappointed with the service and the location, they must have something wrong with sewer because it was smelling really bad. However, we decided to try this in Plainfield and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The service was great, Patricia was wonderful, and we even arrived before they opened and didn't know yet She still took us and gave us a table right away. I had the Aurora Wheaton Geneva, breakfast platter, which was delicious. We ordered guacamole and chips was excellent. My husband had the huevos ranchero and he enjoyed. Also ordered a crêpe of arroz con leche. It was very good. We both enjoyed that as well. Noted is they make their own chips so that adds an elevates the dish. Unfortunately, we gave up alcohol for lent so we will be back after Easter to try the bottomless mimosas. Looking forward to it. read more

Prices are outrageous. Tacos taste overpowered with pickled onion. the tacos crumble immediately from all the nauseating warm sauce. We should have waited to order until after we trued the appetizer---we would have been warned. Very small weak drinks for an outrageous price. read more

Excellent place. Drinks are amazing, food is so frigging good and paella is to die for. Excellent customer service and love the atmosphere.

Nothing to write home about. Here are my takeaways- Ambiance is decent. It feels and looks a little cheaply decorated. The tables are FAR TOO SMALL!! The four top should be their two top. Considering they specialize in small plates and sharing, the lack of room with water glasses, additional beverages, and all the utensils is quite ridiculous. Food is meh. Cannot believe all the positive reviews on the food. I had high expectations and was greatly let down with the taste -- and the portion size given the price. Way too expensive for the quality. Proportions with ingredients were off, too, and weird combinations at that. Ick. Service needs major improvement. Waitress seemed bothered to serve us. Needless to say, we won't be back. read more
