On Saturdays in past years, if you didn't have a reservation there could be a wait. But around 7 PM on the Saturday of our visit, it was not at all busy - a discomforting sign. I concur that the food quality and portion sizes are not as we remember. The chicken fajitas (brought on a plate, not sizzling in a skillet) was quite possibly the blandest I've ever tasted. Ditto the accompanying guacamole, rice, and refried beans. I requested corn tortillas but the server brought flour tortillas. When I pointed out the error, she said no problem. And, what did she bring? More flour tortillas! My Missus was equally disappointed with her skirt steak chimichangas. There were three but they were so small, they could be consumed in 4 bites. Everything on her plate, too, was bland and to top it off the meat was overcooked. We won't be back anytime soon.

My margarita was very tasty and not super spicy, and he was very satisfied with his mojito. I then ordered the enchilada plate, with bean, chicken and a pumpkin enchilada. The bean and chicken enchiladas were good, but the pumpkin enchilada is amazing. Next time I will be ordering a plate of just those! My husband got the two taco sampler platter, and both his Baja and carne asada tacos were very good. Overall, we are both excited to come here again. We especially loved that we got to sit outside next to a little fire pit and my husband especially loved that he got to watch the football game. He said "my lady, a fire, good food, and football, what more could a man ask for?!"

Charge me something reasonable if u want but a $1 per container is ludicrous! Anyways, I ordered the quesadilla and a carnitas taco and beef taco. The quesadilla came in 3 pieces but were all stuck on top of each other so it wasn't packaged properly to go. The carnitas and beef tacos were kinda bland and just included a little lettuce and bits of tomato. Maybe the rest of the menu is better dining in but I wasn't impressed with the order to go. Although the owners mother who greeted me was very nice. So I'll give it another chance dining in since it's so close.

Surprisingly, our group of ten…read morecame away VERY disappointed with the quality, presentation, and especially taste of the food and drinks at Cafe El Tapatio. Service was good, but that's about it. Having dined at numerous Mexican restaurants, this is one we'll not return to. Better options available and at more reasonable expense. Additionally....We asked for a mild salsa option (which tasted like tomato juice) - got charged $9 extra. On top of 22% automatic gratuity (on sub-total w/tax), 4% transaction fee applied as well.

Wanted to love Westo because the ambiance and cocktails were beautiful, but unfortunately the food…read moreand service just did not match the concept. We ordered the octopus, patatas bravas, and the steak meal for two. The octopus was extremely overcooked and chewy, and the steak platter itself just felt underwhelming overall. Also... how does a Mexican steakhouse not provide tortillas with a steak platter? That honestly shocked me. The biggest confusion of the night was the patatas bravas situation. Our waitress forgot the dish entirely, then later brought over mashed potatoes and said they were "on the house." I was genuinely confused because I thought maybe this was their version of patatas bravas due to the seasoning on top. When I asked about it, she realized she accidentally brought mashed potatoes instead of the actual dish. She apologized and eventually brought the real patatas bravas, but even those tasted oddly sweet and missed the mark for us. To their credit, the staff did try to make up for it with complimentary shots, and the cocktails were honestly the best part of the experience. The space itself is gorgeous and has a very upscale vibe, but the food lacked cohesion and flavor for the price point. Sadly, not somewhere I'd personally return to.

Our first time in the area and to Westsos. We were warmly greeted and seated promptly for our 5p…read morereservation. Sofia was absolutely lovely and the team service well done. We were not at all rushed and took the opportunity to try the interesting guacamole with ribeye chicharrons (kind of like beef jerky pieces) with a deliciously fresh watermelon cocktail while reading the menu and further deciding. The garnish of mango habanero caviar was disappointing in flavor and quantity. No heat or fruit flavor. Fresh blue chips were great but sparse ; fortunately, the table chips and salsa were equally good ( again, no heat) We proceeded to order the pulpo and 16 oz ribeye (which came with patatas bravas (so good !) and small house salad). Assured that chef was excellent at cooking to temperature and that was the case. We shared yet still didn't have to for dessert so plan accordingly if churros, cheesecake or très lèches cake are your things! I especially appreciated being asked if items could be cleared from the table rather than just being grabbed! Decor is black (which extends to the restrooms which were comfortable, clean, warm with average toilet paper and paper towels and coat /purse hooks in the stalls). But I did feel a kind of dungeon-y vibe. Also kind of 1970's which is not bad, just dated. While maybe not a destination spot, definitely worth a trip if you're in the area.

Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

There are so many Mexican restaurants in Chicago's northwest neighborhoods and nearby northwestern…read moresuburbs that this isn't a place I"ll probably be at soon. I was here with a small group, a local book club that I attended. There were six of us. The server said they couldn't do separate checks because it was too busy, though there were only about another five or six tables of folks here (if that). My food was just ok, as was the Paloma I ordered--thankful that it was during happy hour, at least, because I only took a couple sips of the Paloma before I decided I couldn't drink it even if I had paid for it. The service wasn't great throughout--we didn't get visited much and had to ask for more salsa and whatnot rather than being asked if we wanted more. But the worst part was when we were ready to wrap up. It took at least 40 minutes for us to get our check and get settled. I had been thinking I probably wouldn't make it to another meeting because I hadn't expected to be gone for a couple hours, but others mentioned they'd made plans after the book club and specifically mentioned that they usually weren't that long (it was my first time meeting with the club). We paid with cash and card, and made note of what was what, but somehow the guy got it totally messed up and we waited 15 minutes for them to cash us out after he took our cards. Had they just given us individual tickets from the start they'd have been done in a fraction of the time, so that was super frustrating. As I said, the food was just ok and with many other places around (at least a couple at which I've eaten and were pretty good) I don't need to come back unless for some reason the book club makes its way back here again. Parking is street only.

The place looks like a recently discovered music temple! But, let's slow down a bit and take it from the top. We arrived and there was plenty of parking in the back.

The server came out and quickly took our order as we wanted to dine and enjoy the musical journey we were about to take. Food was made quickly and was delicious! The empanadas were good with a nice crisp outside. Tostones had a perfect crunch. The steak was perfectly cooked and the potatoes were surprisingly delicious! Drinks were great and well balanced, with a nice punch! The artist was old school, a musicians and a storyteller. He lived a great life and was pairing songs with experiences in his travels.
