    Shrimp skewers
    Lisa H.

    Really awesome atmosphere. Delicious food and great service. (An obviously successful place based on the crowd). I loved the decor. There were 12 of us to celebrate my daughter's birthday! She got a couple of different cakes, candles to blow out, and a wonderful birthday song from the servers! Note: This is a cash only restaurant.

    The food was delicious! They were super busy and they had a live mariachi band so it was pretty loud in there. If you're easily over simulated this might not be the place to go. Even though it was busy our server was still very attentive with us. One of the best service we've had. Will be back again!

    Tacos Sabinas
    Christine L.

    Food was great! Went on a Monday for lunch and it was pretty packed with a good number of people coming in and out. Tried the Tacos Sabinas which were delicious and very filling. The horchata was also muy delicioso. Prices are pretty amazing for the food you're getting, but they are cash only. They also don't take reservations! They do have catering available, but apparently also cash only. There's metered street parking right outside available.

    Arrachera
    Nathan W.

    Love this place. Don't forget to bring cash as it is a cash only restaurant. You need to order the Arrachera. The steak is tender and flavorful. When you dine in, they give you complimentary chips, salsa, and soup. Everything tasted so fresh and the portions were huge. The grilled onions were so tasty. Went on a Thursday for lunch and it was packed inside. It's a higher end casual spot that impressed me. Would highly recommend this place. There's lots of street parking nearby and it's close to the pink line stop. I'm mentioning it a second time, don't forget to bring cash.

    Visited this place in January and ordered the 1/2 kilo (serves 2-4 people). It came out to about $30-$35 after taxes. I'm a generous tipper because I've worked in bottle service, bartending, and serving myself. In my last review (attached pic to this one), I mentioned Joel and Noah. The server who helped us during that January visit -- the one who wears glasses and has a buzz cut/very short hair -- was amazing. He provided excellent service, and I happily left $60 and told him to keep the rest. There was no auto gratuity added and no BYOB charge that day. We brought our own liquor since it's BYOB. Before going that time, we called to ask if there were any limitations or fees, and the lady on the phone didn't mention anything. We came back yesterday for Valentine's Day and were served by the other server I mentioned previously -- the one with long, black, straight slicked-back hair. His service wasn't terrible -- he was attentive -- but our shrimp skewers were cold. They came out within seconds of placing the order, which surprised us at the time, but now it makes sense; they were likely sitting out for a while. What's crazy is that I gave him a positive review the last time and we specifically came back for both of them. I was actually excited when we saw he was our server again. That's why this experience was even more disappointing. When we received the check, the total didn't add up. We were charged for a flan we didn't order -- we assumed it was complimentary -- but since we ate it, I had no problem paying for it. However, there was also a $10 BYOB charge that I had never seen on previous visits, and there was no communication about it -- not at the entrance, not on the menu, nowhere. I understand it was Valentine's Day and places get busy, but that's exactly when communication should be clear. The tab should have been $53 before taxes ( 1/2 kilo meat $30 + added nopales $3 + shrimp skewers $20). With 10.25% tax, that would have brought it to about $58.43 before tip, and we should have been able to leave our desired gratuity. I still would have tipped generously. Instead, the bill showed $96. It included the $10 BYOB fee and an $8 flan, plus automatic gratuity -- with no signage or prior notice that gratuity was being added. The previous time we visited, there was no auto-grat added. I didn't even discuss it with the server. I went directly to the lady at the register, and she seemed almost baffled that I noticed when I questioned it. There was no apology. They removed the $8 flan without issue, and we ended up paying $88. Even after removing the flan, that still left about $29 taken as tip after tax. Honestly, it felt like the server -- or even the establishment -- was adding charges assuming people wouldn't notice because it was busy and people were drinking. Had everything been transparent, I would have tipped willingly and generously like I did before. But this felt undeserved. Transparency and consistency go a long way. Always read your bill at this place. If you go, ask the right questions before ordering or avoid it all together. Will no longer be coming here and I truly hope they learn not to do this before the power of social media gets to them. The fact that there is also other reviews with similar statements is mind blowing to me.

    Wonderful, courteous staff; immediate seating; food was fresh and amazing. Beautiful atmosphere. Nice BYOB option as well. Will return!

    1 kilo Arrachera
    Sania H.

    Wow... There are not many Mexican restaurants I give 5 stars, but this might just be the best Mexican food I've ever had. To say everything is perfectly cooked, seasoned, spiced, and presented is not an understatement. Seriously, no notes!! Order the arrachera, shrimp skewers, and rice and you'll be set. Just be aware it is cash only, but totally worth it. I can't wait to come back.

    Shrimp kabob
    Len L.

    I've always passed by and usually stop next door for taco's and decided to give Canton Regio a try. Table for 4 and were given a two round tables next to each other (shaped like a 8). We ordered shrimp kabobs which hung on a stand. the kabobs were actually really good, 3-5 well cooked shrimps and sandwiched between grilled onions and peppers. Next entree was the 1/2 roasted chicken which comes with yellow rice and scoop of red beans, also was good as the white mean was pretty juicy. The last item we ordered was the trio steak taco's (three corn taco's topped with steak with no cilantro or onions). There is an ATM onsite as you know this place does not accept any credit cards and only accepts cash. Plenty of metered parking and for sure I would come back for more.

    Frank H.

    An excellent spot to enjoy great service in a warm environment with great food. The family style choices are spectacular for groups and the BYOB is awesome for keeping costs down while enjoying yourself to the fullest.

    tacos camarón
    Jazmine T.

    Okay, so important to know: this place is CASH ONLY. My friends and I went to this restaurant the Sunday post-St. Patrick's Day, and the place was packed! Canton Regio had a great interior design that was influenced by both a medieval time period and Latino-cultural wall decor. We chose to visit this place because one of my friend's patients recommended the place, and for good reason! The food was very flavorful, and the service was great. We ordered arrachera (crowd favorite), tacos camarón, and quesadillas raul. I can't wait to go back--this place is a must visit in Pilsen!

    When do they have live music?

    Weekend nights I think

    Do they have parking?

    All parking is street parking.

    Do they take reservations?

    Apparently, only if you have a party of 15+ people.... if less, then no.

    When is there live music?

    Well there was love music after 7p on the Saturday I was there. Not sure about any other days.

    How expensive is it?

    I don't consider them expensive. I keep my tab down by also ordering chicken, which I think is better than the steak. Being BYOB is definitely a huge plus. But, keep in mind that they are cash only.

    Is it truly cash only?

    Yes it is cash only. They do offer an ATM at the restaurant. Now grab some cash and enjoy some of that awesome food!!

    Is it BYOB?

    Yes

    Has anyone ordered carry out?

    Agreed with the other post. I come here 6-7x a month and 4 of those times are carryout. Very quick and everything is always made fresh.

    Do they serve any other cut of steak besides skirt steaks?

    Yes. Their menu is in their photos on FB.

    Do they cater?

    Yes, Canton Regio has catered many successful, off-site events. The Gutierrez family owns and operates this Mexican Steakhouse. Call the restaurant directly and ask for Danny jr. He will let you know if they are able to accommodate the scale, scope… Read more

The couple next to us got sat down after we put in our entree order and get they received their entree before we did. No apologies or context given on the delay. Also, I know they offer half orders for certain dishes like salad for takeouts and deliveries and saw older TikTok videos that mentioned getting half portions too. We asked if they do half portions so we can try more items in the menu, we simply got a "NO" without any kindness or explanation given. It was said as if we were asking them something stupid. Ambiance- I think the bar area is nice looking, but we were sat in the basement. It was crammed, the tables were small, and because it was a small room, you can really hear other tables conversations. For casual restaurants I don't mind that type of ambiance but if we are dropping more than $300 for 2 of us, I am going to compare it to comparable places in that price range: Bavettes, Gibsons, maple and ash, swift and sons, Alston, etc. this is significantly lacking compared to all of those "nice steakhouses". Theres not even a coat check. Also our leftover was packed in a cheap black plastic bag. Once again, not matching with the price point. We are locals and were very excited to try this place not far from us, but sadly, it was a truly disappointing experience and if anyone asked me if I'd recommend this place, I would say look elsewhere.

For starters, we ordered the kimchi pork dumplings and grilled octopus, which both tasted great, but the kimchi flavoring did overpower everything. Our main course included the marinated short rib, wag rib eye, and a5 5 brisket which were all cooked to perfection by our server. However, my experience at Perilla Steakhouse was hands down frustrating. Upon arrival, things were off to a rough start when I could barely hear the server over the music. At times, I felt like our server was rushing us through our meal based on how much less attention he gave us versus the other tables. I'm not someone who needs my glass refilled every minute either to be clear, but things did feel off with how slow our meal was paced out and the general disinterest the server had in us. For reference, we arrived early to a nearly empty restaurant that hadn't started peak dining time yet. I recognize the steakhouse is an upscale, chic take on traditional Korean dishes and I admire the chef for sharing his culture with the city. I also understand restaurants are going to be more expensive, the closer you are located in relation to downtown. Even so, in comparison to other nearby high-end restaurants, the price to portion ratio for our meal felt off. For example, our $16 dumplings included 3 dumplings on a plate. Yes, there's an argument for inflation and the cost of quality ingredients, but I argue that at this price point we shouldn't have left hungry either.

    I took advantage of their prixe fix lunch deal. I had the French onion soup and the chicken…read morepaillard. The soup was very tasty and was a huge portion. The chicken paillard was very tasty but it seemed odd that the chicken and salad were both served on the same very hot plate. Luckily the salad didn't get warm enough to wilt the greens. My server was Michelle and she was wonderful. Very helpful, very cheerful, and just a joy to interact with.

    Came here last night for dinner with another couple for the first time. While the food was good,…read morethe service was not so I don't think I'll be back. For starters, we had a reservation which I would recommend. We were seated right away and while the place is large inside, I'm not sure what walk-in availability is like. The food: we really enjoyed the octopus, escargot, I had the Filet Mignon Au Poivre, and the banana/coconut entremet. The octopus was tender and flavorful; octopus cooked right (especially in smaller pieces) is hard to find so I was impressed. The escargot was nice and buttery/garlicky, and piping hot. I LOVED my Filet with the green peppercorn cream sauce! It was delicious and my husband was surprised I ate so much of it. It was cooked exactly as I asked, the meat had good flavor, and the sauce was delicious and well balanced + the right consistency. Lastly, the banana and coconut dessert was a pleasant surprise. The banana flavor was fresh (not artificial) and had the right balance of coconut. It was creamy, not too sweet, and had the right balance of textures with the outer coating and the crumble underneath - if you like banana or coconut at all I'd say it's a must order! The creme brulee was just okay. My issue was the service - the table next to ours LIT ON FIRE because a menu was over the top of a candle. After burning half the menu and the fire was getting larger, our partners ran over and put it out with their napkins. They yelled and there was NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT from the staff at all - at least 2 staff saw and one waiters eyes got big for a minute and she turned away. Not even a thank you from anyone to our partners for putting it out, and they had to ask for new napkins because theirs had black char on them. We were in the middle of enjoying our appetizers and my friend was just digging into her French onion soup from our first round and the staff kept trying to take our plates away. My friend had to tell them 3 times to please leave the soup at the table, and overall made us feel very rushed. We weren't taking a long time to eat at all so felt very weird? When the entrees were dropped on the table, my friend got a steak and they kept trying to give her a butter knife. It took multiple attempts to get the correct knife. Then once we were done eating it took a while to get our plates and old glasses cleared away. Overall service timing was off and their aggressiveness in the beginning of trying to take our plates away + the lack of response to A FIRE in the restaurant was pretty alarming. While I enjoyed the food there, the service was pretty bad and I feel unsafe with the lack of response to a fire in the restaurant so I don't think we'll return.

Tasty drinks - the grapefruit pilsner was a perfect choice for a warm spring evening, and our server was funny and sweet. Sticky ribs appetizer was spot on, with just enough heat to keep it interesting. We shared the fish and chips - perfectly cooked, crunch and sweet, great fries! House made slaw and tartar sauce was out of this world! Gotta make one comment on something we didn't have. The next table over, two middle aged women order cheeseburgers. When they came out I almost regretted ordering the fish. They were huge, juicy, and looked incredible. This two ladies, drinking their Chardonnays polished them off, that's how good they were. Next time... Dessert? Why not? Sticky toffee cake please. Perfect with a cup of black coffee. Out the door and on our way - we'll be back! Thanks!

    We dined at the Dearborn on a Saturday afternoon with my family. Our reservation was strategic we…read morearrived hours before we assumed it would become very crowded. The seating was tight. Overall I was having a good experience. The food was OK. The menu was limited. Oh btw, the special that day was a $70 wag goo burger. That interaction between me and the server reminded me of a car salesman trying to sale me undercoating for the car i just purchased. REALLY I can't make it up. The experience dropped to a single star as our dining experience was nearing an end. The manager of the front of the house. Made a conscious effort to make it clear that the table we were dining was needed by waiting customers. I've never ever experienced this before in any restaurant in the Loop. I can't and will not recommend dining here. This is why I'm giving 1 star. I my opinion The Dearborn maybe they need to be in a different location. Maybe located far west of the Loop. I would suggest instead of Dearborn maybe Halsted St. and probably change their name to The Halsted. Im not going back. OH btw good luck in your new location.

He was incredibly efficient, attentive without ever hovering, and had such a natural sense of humor that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The food was excellent! It's rare to find someone who balances professionalism with warmth so effortlessly. He truly added something special to our afternoon, and we left feeling very well taken care of.

    Wow!!! The best service we have had In a hot minute!!!! Had the pleasure of sitting in Nina's…read moresection tonight and she was such a delight! So helpful with the suggestions, so attentive and so kind and personable!!! Off of her amazing recommendations we got the tuna tartare, hamachi crudo, miso salmon , skirt steak and bread pudding !!! I would order every single item again! The skirt steak specifically was cooked perfectly and the chimichurri was absolutely phenomenal!!! I will be thinking about it for a while! The blueberry spritz was so good I had three lol! I love that every day they have specific specials so Monday night was steak frites. The tartare was perfect to share and lasted a lot longer than we thought! Who I think was the manager came by a few times to make sure all was well which just felt so nice for a Monday night. This place is perfect for GNO, Business Dinner, or a Third+ date! I have nothing but positive things to say!! AMAZING place
