The food is nothing to write home about which is sad I really hoped to be blown away, but at least they make huge portions. The drinks are delicious and cheap I mean on division to get a drink in $15 is impossible to find. But the staff are awesome will suggest going just to get to know everyone there. Plus love the patio in the afternoon just such a great ambience! read more

Casa Tequila - Tacos Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I went to Casa Tequila on Division in Chicago with three friends after seeing several TikTok reviews raving about the food. The atmosphere was nice and the food itself was good but unfortunately, not nearly good enough to justify the price. Our bill came out to $435, which included a nacho appetizer, a tomahawk steak dinner (for the birthday guest), a ribeye steak dinner that was shared between two people, a three-steak taco dinner, margaritas for everyone, and sides of rice and beans. We were also charged a huge automatic gratuity. Everything is served à la carte, with tacos, rice, and beans all charged separately. The salsa and pico portions were very small, and refills were slow and minimal. I ordered the Dragon Fruit Margarita. While it tasted good, for $20 I expected a full glass. What really sealed the experience for me was the service. When my credit card initially declined because it was locked, the server threw my card back on the table after running it. I tried not to react, but it came across as rude and unprofessional. I don't mind paying for quality, but in today's economy, value matters. Between the high prices, small portions, automatic gratuity, and service issues, I left feeling more frustrated than satisfied. Unfortunately, this isn't a place I would return to. read more

This was my second time going to Casa Tequila. The first time was a couple of years ago for a birthday dinner, and we decided to repeat that tradition this year. As far as service goes, it was just okay. It took quite a long time to receive our drinks and also to get the check at the end. While it wasn't a huge deal since we had plans afterward, we definitely felt like we were waiting longer than necessary. After finishing our meal, we waited at least 15 minutes for the check. Again, not the end of the world, but worth noting in case management sees this. The food itself was pretty fantastic. The chips and salsa were great and tasted very fresh. The salsa was especially good, so credit where it's due. We ordered the molcajete with an extra side of rice. While it was tasty, it was disappointing portion-wise. There was only one thin slice of chicken and one thin slice of steak, along with some chorizo. The thin portions made the dish feel overpriced. I've had molcajetes at many other Mexican restaurants, and usually they'll at least double the chicken if they're lighter on the steak. If you're ordering this expecting to be full, just know that you may not be. I compared these pics to the video I took in 2023. In 2023, this meal also included a scoop of sour cream, a scoop of guacamole, and pico de gallo on the side. This time our meal didn't include any of this. Also, in 2022 the molcajete included two slices of steak. So I definitely stand by the value has definitely decreased over the years. Flavor-wise, everything was very good. I enjoyed the meal, but we did end up grabbing something small afterward because the portion was pretty light. With the slower service, I also didn't feel inclined to order anything additional or extend our wait any longer. The drinks were pretty good overall. We ordered a skinny margarita and a mojito. It did take quite a while for them to reach our table. The mojito was just okay, but the skinny margarita was honestly one of the best I've ever had. I was pretty shocked when we received the bill and saw an automatic 18% gratuity applied to a party of two. That felt very odd, especially since I was planning to tip more. It left a sour taste in my mouth, particularly because this was a Sunday night around 9:00 p.m. What made it worse is that this policy isn't posted anywhere on the website or on the menu. If management is going to charge an automatic gratuity for parties of two, that information should be clearly printed and visible. While the food was good, I'm rating this place three out of five stars. Between the automatic gratuity and food portions that didn't quite justify the price, the overall experience fell short. I understand that times are tough for restaurants, but as customers we're also paying close attention to where our money is going, and value matters. Skimping off the top and bottom is going to lead to a decrease in return customers. It wasn't my choice to come here, and I'm not sure I would choose to return on my own suggestion. read more

We went on Friday at around 4 pm. There was no wait and we were seated quickly. The service was really fast, communicative and attentive. The food? Maybe 3/5 stars. It wasn't special. However, they have $7 sangria glasses and those were so good. It was lightly lit and would make a romantic date. read more

This place is SO good. We randomly stumbled upon it and best decision I've made. This is hands down the best Mexican food I've had in Chicago and maybe even ever. It was such a good time too. We sat at the bar and Tony made some great recommendations, walked us through the menu, and was just the best. He was very sweet and the mojito he made was also delicious. They serve complimentary chips and salsa before your meal and the chips are so fresh. All the ingredients are very fresh too. They make all their drinks with fresh fruit and the food just tastes so different and delicious. As a vegetarian, there were also so many options. I will come back here again and again and highly recommend stopping by. Food and drinks are all good and they have lots of specials to check out. Tony is also the best!! read more

Great place to go to. Went with a group of about 25 for a birthday party. Service was great. Their internet was down but the team called an audible and worked through it to perfection. The owner came out and greeted us and was very nice. I enjoyed the three taco entree. Especially the chorizo taco which I really enjoyed. Keep in mind, tortas and flautas (as of this writing) are not on the menu. My only knock is location. There is no parking. read more

I was in Casa Tequia for Cinco and it was truly a bizarre experience. Firstly, we made a reservation for four and still had to wait for close to 45 mins for our table to be ready. On top of that, people continually flooded the front doors for the entirety of that time leading to a sea of people just kind of standing around. The hostess then decided to LOCK THE DOOR, so people were screaming on the streets and knocking on the doors and inevitably let in by other folks. Very unorganized. From there, once we finally did get seated, we had to ask for water, did not get brought napkins or silverware (even after asking twice AND after our entrees came out - eventually we got them) and like I get that the restaurant was busy, but it was just really poor service. With everyone other than our server being rude to us simply for being there. The mango margarita was pretty good, I would order again on the patio this summer. We also ordered chips and guac for the table which was fine, and I ordered the burrito & enchilda special which was actually excellent! Like very, very good - I highly recommend. read more

I returned to this place yesterday...CANNOT GO WRONG HERE! I love everything about the place...the atmosphere, the staff, the food, the drinks (thank you Tony!). Truly, a hidden gem of Wicker Park.

I went twice in eight days because the food was so good! The first time was on a Saturday evening and the place was packed, low lights and great music. I was happy they had one open table left as I walked in. I had the grilled chicken salad and added steak. It was so flavorful and grilled to perfection. Then I came back on Sunday afternoon and the vibe was more chill. I'm sure it had plenty to do with the rain. I had two chicken tacos and a beef taco. The chicken was my favorite. I tried my friend's bean enchilada and ended up eating it all. Topped it all off with a red sangria! Needless to say I've made reservations to go back! Lbs! My server Kevin was the best! read more

Casa Tequila is so absolutely underrated. Maybe sure, they don't have wild lights and stuff like some other places on the block, but honestly that's not for me anyway. Entering the restaurant, you're greeted warmly by a host and see the immaculately dressed staff wearing some fancy aprons like they just got to work from auditioning for The Bear. The whole environment is classic Chicago Mexican; hand-carved wooden chairs, beautiful decorations, and a seriously stocked bar. For an extra $1.50, you can add a fresh fruit flavor to the house margarita. I recommend not missing this. The flavor imparted to through the healing power of fresh fruit really sets your margarita off right. The complimentary house salsa is absolutely perfect as well! The portions are enormous, the food is incredible, and there are so many options for folks with dietary restrictions! GF, Keto, Vegan, Vegetarian, Pescatarian, etc, there is absolutely something for you here. So now let's talk about service. Chris was our waiter and he was just a joyous human! My group came in on a Friday preparing to move furniture the next day to celebrate our friends buying a new home. Chris recommended a great tequila for celebratory shots and also made sure to suggest other compliments to our meal. The whole place was packed and I noticed everyone around me leaving quite happily. I can't wait to come back! read more

I live across the street and always walk here; being Mexican I remind myself there's food at the house but on this night I was lazy and tried this spot w my friend.

Boring at best! The guacamole was tasteless. The Tortilla Soup was more like a canned vegetable soup with tortilla strips on top and salty. Queso Fundodo again no taste or seasonings but salt. The specialty of the house, Carne Asada has cooked correctly but tough. I may be jaded because I live in Rogers Park and we have multiple great, family run Taquerias on almost every block of Clark street and every Bodega has hot food to go but this place was like Taco Bell and Chipotle opened a restaurant together, bland at best. For what we spent on 1 meal for 3 people we could have have had authentic, quality, Mexican food from our neighborhood for a week. read more

I was on my way to Un Amor, but found out it was closed today when I checked Yelp. Then I was driving by Casa Tequila, and decided it looked like a nice place to try. There was outside seating and looked cozy inside. I was seated right away. And I ordered skirt steak. It was very flavorful and tender. The mashed potatoes were full of flavor too, not your typical plain mashed potatoes. I will definitely come here again. read more

This all started because BIL was out finding some sick threads for his wedding pics. While he was trying on threads he gave me a look and I knew margs were 100% necessary. The decision for that was simple, Casa Tequila was the obvious choice. Close, and in the heart of division street wicker. Atmosphere in the place is electric and the correct aura to lure me into a Mexican feast. Pollo Rancheros is off the charts, but Lucio legendary. Absolute must hit. read more

Our experience at Casa Tequila wasn't bad but it also wasn't anything to rave about. The prices were SO expensive. A house margarita was $14 and any of the more speciality ones were $20+. These were for a standard size not a jumbo or larger size. Our food tasted great but it took forever to get our order taken and we were missing many of our sides (rice, guacamole, etc) when our meal arrived. These sides never made it to the table sadly. Our server was hilarious! He was definitely doing his best considering it was a busy restaurant and he brought us shots at the end to make up for the other craziness. Maybe I would try this place again for lunch but definitely not during a busy dinner rush. read more

I've been asking my fiancé to take me here for weeks and the day finally came. It's a solid date night spot if you're in the mood for tacos and margaritas and wanna stay under $100. When we arrived we were greeted by cheery waiters all bearing smiles. We came on a Wednesday evening so the place wasn't as packed as I assume weekends to be which I was thankful for. We were able to be seated right away. Our waiter sat my date and I in a big booth perfect to cozy up in. We really like the salsa here. It had the perfect kick to it. It wasn't hard to choose items off the menu. I ordered the skinny margarita while my fiancé ordered the mule. He admitted it was a bit watered down so we shared the rest of my margarita. Honestly, one margarita is big enough for 2 people to share. Especially at $20. I ordered the fish tacos as my entree while my fiancé ordered the quesabirria tacos. We both loved our entrees. And after tasting our food we declared this place a solid spot for tacos. My fiancé said the fish tacos were refreshing. I really liked the rice that came with it. The quesabirria tacos were SLAMMIN! The meat was juicy and full of flavor. The food arrived with a nice presentation as well. We left with full bellies and were satisfied with our dining experience here. Loved the music choice of Green Day and some Maroon 5 so we were dancing in our seat while eating. Thank you Casa Tequila! read more

We LOVED our lunch at Casa Tequilas in Elgin on Randall!! We got it to go so we didn't experience the full on dining experience- but super cute decor & staff was VERY friendly & helpful. Philip had the steak/chicken enchiladas-- he said they were outstanding! I had the burrito verde with carnitas & grilled onions from the lunch menu, it came with rice & beans. Simple, yet absolutely incredible!!! I can't stress enough how amazing the food was--OMGGGG! We'll definitely be back! Bonus: they have the cutest candy 'store' up front, perfect for the kiddos.

It was okay. We took my husband for Father's Day and I think we went in with high expectations. We arrived and was seated right away. That was amazing. But the service... they took a hot minute to get to our table. Served our water but then while taking our order, she walked away. Without saying anything to any of us. Then didn't come back. We had to wave down another server. He looked confused then she came back. ‍ It was all very... different. Like. They need to have better training, I think. The food was okay. The bathrooms needed some attention. And there's city parking that needs to be paid for. read more

Casa Tequila was recommended by a friend and TikTok, and overall, it was a good experience. The atmosphere was welcoming with attentive servers and quick service. There was even a mariachi band playing outside, though I think it was for a special occasion. While it's a bit pricier than I'd prefer, the steak was flavorful, and the margaritas were pretty.

A must try! I was served complimentary chips with homemade salsa as soon as I sat down, which began my fantastic experience. They also brought water for me and my dog (we were sitting on the patio), and greeted us both with a welcoming smile and a pet for the dog. The quesabirria tacos were out of this world! Perfectly crisp shell, tender and deliciously shredded beef, and the Consommé was so flavorful, I couldn't get enough! When the server came to check on my and refill my water, he also checked on my dog's bowl, which I always appreciate! Check this place out. Their service and food is definitely worth a visit. I visited as soon as they opened and sat on the patio, so I didn't get a good feel for the indoor vibe. I will say that the manager(assuming because he had an earpiece) came out and talked with me for a bit which made it feel like a neighborhood spot and I loved that. Thanks for a great experience Casa Tequilla. I'll be back! read more

For starters, they offered us chips & salsa...we didn't order appetizers because we didn't want to be too full before our food came. We ordered drinks...my drink was ok, but if I had to say one negative thing it would be that the drinks are too pricey! $20 for a drink is a bit much. And I didn't even have a jumbo margarita! I could've went to Casa Margarita for that price....so just keep this in mind if you get drinks from here. Overall, I'd come back read more

My wife and I stopped into Casa Tequila on a Monday, right when it opened for lunch. We hadn't been before and had been hoping to try it. The staff was kind and attentive. We wrapped up lunch in about 45 mins, the chips and salsa was good, my wife liked the fish tacos, but I thought that the three taco plate was just ok. I ate half the chicken taco and all of the two beef tacos but the meat seemed room temp, so I assumed they didn't run the food out right away, even though we only had to wait 10 mins for our food. 15 hours later I was vomiting and worse. Now, I know food positioning is very hard to prove, and accusing a business of mishandling food (or employees wash habits) is absolutely nothing to take lightly. My wife was fine, she and I had the same breakfast, same dinner, and the only meal that was different that day between the two of us was at Casa Tequila. Not a stomach bug, this was quick and awful. I went to Urgent Care and they confirmed if it was a stomach bug then I'd be vomiting for days, not hours in a single day. Hours of being sick, followed by days of recovery and missed work, I couldn't NOT write this review. I don't want anyone to experience what I did after visiting this establishment. I called the restaurant two days after the meal, asking to speak with a manager. I complimented the staff, said my wife liked her meal, but explained what happened. Without naming names I spoke to two helpful gents, and I appreciated their candor. I told them I was calling to let them know, and not asking anyone to confirm it on their side, I know that's not how it works. They took my info, read back my number and said, hey the owner might not even call you back, just so you know. Again, I appreciate their candor, but I was still disappointed when management decided not to follow up with me. I thought this was going to be a hard review to write, but when the management never called me back after over a week, it made it a lot easier. Head to the restaurant and enjoy if you like, but keep this review in mind (and the tacos) if you do, it might save you a lot of misery. read more

I visited this place on my birthday with my boyfriend. We got seated immediately. My partner excused himself to the bathroom as soon as we got seated, he was not feeling well and spent around 15 minutes in the bathroom. During this time the staff continued to check on me and made sure to fill my water and chips. After my boyfriend got out of the bathroom, we told the waiter that we had to go because my boyfriend was feeling extremely unwell, I mentioned that it was my birthday and I apologized for "wasting " their time. They were extremely considerate and wished me a happy birthday and for him a quick recovery. My boyfriend and I decided to go back the next day because he felt much better! We showed up and were immediately greeted with a happy smile and a comment "Happy to see you come back so quickly!" We placed our order and it was delicious! The steak was cooked to perfection and the mash potatoes were soft and fluffy. When we asked for the tab, the waiters surprised me with a shot and happy birthday signs! They remembered my birthday was the day before and still found a way for me to feel celebrated. The best part, they have white melted queso! The best one I have found since college! Overall, an amazing experience and I will be returning to this restaurant OFTEN! read more

Went here to celebrate a birthday and I'm so happy we went. Walking in, the ambience was great! Great music was being played, it was very clean, I loved the decor, and staff were very very pleasant. Service was top tier. My waitress was on top of rings and gave great recommendations seeing that it was my first time there. I got an appetizer which were the chicken nachos and hunny let me tell you.....it was so much food! That could definitely be your main meal. But it was so so so sooo good!! I was stuffed after eating the nachos so I didn't order a main meal. But I did place an order for a shrimp Taco to go and I was not disappointed! It was seasoned to a tee!!! They also do it big when celebrating a birthday. They come out with flashing props and happy birthday signs and they sing happy birthday! I loved it! You also get a slice of cake. I can really say I was impressed and can't wait to go back! read more

I would rate this a 4.5 but I'm rounding up because it exceeded my expectations! The menu is large and we knew we wanted to try something other than typical taco dishes so we went for the molcajete and the spicy shrimp. Everything from the complimentary chips and salsa to our entrees was delicious! The house margarita was too sweet, but the skinny margaritas were perfect (I am someone who doesn't care for sour mix at all.) We really liked our entrees, and the sour cream was so weirdly good, I have never had sour cream that didn't taste just like grocery store sour cream. The molcajete was just FUN to eat, I've never had a dish in a huge volcanic rock pot before. The decor inside is fun, sort of like a suburban Mexican restaurant, and I say that as a compliment! We ate outside and the patio views of Division are delightful. I would love to come back and try other parts of their menu. Their drinks are certainly pricey, but that is my only critique.

Decided to double date to this place because the ladies wanted to sit down and enjoy some Margaritas and good Mexican food. We left the Southside and ventured to Wicker Park and decided to try this place. Well, they do not accept reservations for parties smaller than 5 so, we walked in and was seated immediately on a Saturday evening. Parking is scarce in the area as there are several restaurants on Division but after circling once we found a park. Apps--we order Queso Fundio-- it was spicy and just blah. Other couple order the sampler. It was a variety of small offerings (quesadillas, flauntas. Etc) I watched them pick over it so I assume it wasn't that good. Drinks- we ordered the Kiwi Mojito- after the terrible margaritas we had when seated. The mojitos were lught n refreshing but didn't wow us. We all ordered Margaritas to start and I was surprised how super sweet they were. We ordered it frozen but, it tasted like like a kool-aid drink with pureed fruit poured in it. Neither of us ordered another drink. Food- I and another member of my party ordered Quesa birria tacos- they came 3 per order and although the presentation was nice, they lacked seasoning and flavor. The meat was plentiful but because the taco was not seasoned and had very little cheese, it missed the mark. The consume didn't help them. I was disappointed!! My friend ordered the pineapple fajitas and she said it was just ok. My husband had pork and steak tacos with rice and beans that were mushy and dry. He described his food as "just mid" and if he wanted Mexican again, he wouldn't think of this place. I enjoyed my double date, however Casa Tequila was not a good pick. Although they had great customer service, and the food was served hot, the meat in the dishes lacked flavor, lacked creativity and was severely under seasoned. The margaritas did not taste fresh moreso, like a sweet pureed syrup drink. I do not have to return here and would definitely not think of them when I am desiring Mexican cuisine. read more
