We came on a Tuesday evening for the Mexico soccer game. They have a big patio in back (limited AC inside since doors were open). Plenty of seating and a projector/TVs set up for the game. The guac and salsas were good, but nothing super special. The margaritas were great . We tried a few different flavors and all were yummy, even the abuelita chocolate one. read more

Found street parking in front of the business. Greeted immediately and asked if we wanted to be inside or out. We decided to sit outside and ordered some drinks and dessert. Abulita drink and a cucumber drink, both were on point and tasted minimal tequila. They tasted the tree leches and another dessert but devoured the tree leches. read more

Stoped her for drinks last night and said at the bar, the vibe was very chill. The service was amazing. The bartender asked me what I like and made me a Consuela, which was a citrus mix. Margarita and my friend had the smoky pineapple. Excellent will definitely be back for the food. read more

I enjoy the ambiance there and the various tequila mixes. Great for single, couple and big group dining. The location is just right. It does get very congested weekends. The staff is very attentive; however, I advise on paying cash or ask for itemized bill. I was there back on December 2015 and I was over charged on my credit card. read more

Yummmmy drinks! I tried the Hibiscus margarita as well as the Mango one. My drinking companion got the Mixed berry margarita. All of them were so delicious. We weren't really hungry so got some guacamole and salsa. Both were decent. The service was great, she periodically would come by and check up on us but we didn't feel pressured to get anything or leave quickly. read more

Was with a friend looking for a nice place for mexican food/drinks, and we decided to try this place. We totally loved it! The outdoor seating is very nice and everything was delicious. We both got tacos, and I got a tamarindo marg and my friend got a mango one. I did like the mango one the best but both were great. Would definitely go again! read more

Hormiga, Hormiga, Hormiga way to disrupt a potential wonderful experience. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing. But his service was subpar from the moment I walked in, almost like he didn't want me here. Very unfortunate. Food and drinks 5 's but Hormiga G (Bartender) absolutely horrible. read more

This is probably my favorite spot in Pilsen. The margs are delicious. The burritos and the spicy queso are my faves. Lots of vegetarian options. Love coming here with friends! read more

Finally made it to Del Toro after years of wanting to try it. My wife and I showed up without reservations on a Saturday night and had to wait about an hour. The bar was packed so we opted for a drink down the street while we waited for a text that our table was ready. No big deal since we knew they fill up quickly on the weekends. Once we were seated our server came right away for our drink and food order. They were attentive all night and we never had to ask for water refills. I had the piña picosa and Paloma for drinks - both delicious and would happily reorder. We both had some tacos - I had the carne asada, chicken and barbacoa - they were all really good flavor and portioned. I'm sad it took me so long to check out Del Toro because I will run back for another meal of tacos and margs. This is a great restaurant in Pilsen! read more

Lovvvvvvve the vibe here; it's casual and, spacious; great for ladies night out. Cocktails are tasty and fresh (but I do remember them being stronger in the past!) The girls and I inquired about stronger cocktails and our waitress obliged lol; gave us some great recommendations throughout the night for food and drinks. Surprisingly a few of us went with the burger and we were not disappointed! Cooked to perfection; flavorful and juicy! I'll be back! It's a staple for taco Tuesday! read more

Drinks are truly the specialty here - the margaritas were fantastic. Many have a spicy kick, which my husband loved. I loved the great selection of fresh margaritas that weren't overly sweet. We went on a Saturday night, and there was a bit of a wait. We appreciated that they take your number and text you when your table is ready so you can go to another local place for a drink while you wait for a table if you can't find a seat at the bar in Del Toro. The guacamole is what I hope every guac is - it had the right amount of heat and was made to order. We also ordered tacos and felt that 2-3 tacos each was the right amount. We're looking forward to going back when the weather is nice to enjoy the patio - this seems like it'll be a great summertime spot! read more

10/10!!!! Drinks are amazing! You have to try the michelada! And ceviche. The service is great and the bartenders are friendly! It's always a good time when I come. Not too loud but they definitely have music. read more

Yum! I came here after a work event with some colleagues and we were seated right away despite not having a reservation, which is always a pleasant surprise! The patio is large and super spacious, so it made a great option for a place to come with a big group. The drinks are everything of a margarita lovers dream. There are SO many margarita options, and even some traditional Mexican beverage options too like sangria, horchata, jalisco old fashion. I went with the jalapeño margarita and I loved it, but buckle up; she's spicy! It comes with half a jalapeño atop it, if you want to make it even spicer. We shared some chips, salsa and guac to start and loved all three. The guac was so fresh! I ordered the carne asada and pollo adobado tacos. Both were flavorful, but the carne asada was my favorite! The tacos are decently sized, but I would probably get one more. Overall great time here and I would absolutely come back to hang on the patio and try some more drinks! read more

We came to this restaurant with some coworkers after an event. When we walked in the hostess showed us to our table, where we were given waters immediately as it as a bit warm outside. They had a spacious patio, with lights as well as a tented area if the weather didn't cooperate. The group started with chips and salad, along with guacamole. Both the salsas were a bit spicy for me but the table loved it! The guacamole was AMAZING, and definitely hit the spot! I had the pineapple sangria, and 3 tacos the fish, pork and steak! The pineapple sangria was DELICIOUS! I definitely wanted to try the Passion Fruit and Mango one too. The fish taco was my favorite, it was light and full of flavor and the pork and steak taco both had a good kick to it! Can't wait to come back and try some of the other drinks and menu items! read more

Needed some substance to soak up all that liquor that my liver consumed at the Yelp event at Lacuna Lofts. Yelped some restaurants nearby and found Del Toro within walking distance so decided on going there. It was beautiful out so I was so happy that they had a patio! Super spatious and no wait on a Tuesday night. Our server came right away after we were seated and was super friendly. Sorry I forgot your name! Ordered the mandarin drink (forgot if it was a margarita?) but I do know that it is one of the summer flavors they offer, alongside tamarind and other flavors. It was delicious! It had Tajin on the rim and it was a perfect combo! My plus one and I decided on getting the tacos so we ordered carne asada, the shrimp, and al pastor tacos. The carne asada was one of the most flavorful taco that I have ever tasted. It was marinated to perfection and If you decided on no salsa, it still would have been amazing! The al pastor I could have done without, and the shrimp was pretty good. Overall, great place and I would come back again to try other things on their menu. read more

Man I love Del Toro. It's a favorite place for a friend and I to meet up; it always is at the top of our list when we get together. Margaritas are amazing for real. I've gotten the light up one more than once and I have to remind you that if you have long hair, be careful! The place will start to fill up immediately upon opening, so you'll want to get there early or be prepared to wait a while. Last time I was there (which was admittedly pre-pandemic) they had a 90-minute table limit on Fridays and Saturdays (at least), so be aware of that as well. With your margarita you'll want to get some delicious food; this is the first place I ever had a sope and now it's one of my favorites. Service is usually great as well, not overbearing or annoying but fast-paced and ready to refill for you when you're empty. Can't go wrong with a stop at Del Toro. read more

A good place for some Mexican-American tequila and food. Del Toro has affordable options if you don't mind not eating as much. It has some pretty strong drinks, mostly like margaritas and lots of quality tequila. Fairly fast service even when it's busy. The food should be spicier but otherwise it's all okay. Good alternative for those wary of food too authentic. It's's easy to find authentic Mexican in Pilsen. There's some who may not want to get that. Maybe they're just too familiar with Taco Bell. Thankfully this is much better than shitty ass fast food. It also has stiff drinks . Last time here we each got a Del Toro Margarita. It's $12 for a pretty small one, about the only complaint. This is made with fresh sour lime, Orange Curaçao, and 3G Blanco tequila. It has lots of salt on the rim. That's not necessary with this already having the authentic salty taste. Skip the rim of salt. The food may be milder but you get stuff like street tacos. Get your choice of protein, or not. We had the Veggie Tacos. It's $4.75 each. These have cilantro, mushrooms, red peppers, squash, and tomatoes. Certainly on weekends it's busy. If you only come with a couple people often there's room at the bar and you won't have to wait long to drink and eat. Tacos are popular but they also have burgers and tortas. read more

It's Thursday and that is date me and my spouse date night. Actually, "night" may be a stretch for us. It's more like happy hours or early dinner dates we have. The sign outside of establishment say Tequila Bar and I was sold. Our protocol for trying a new spots is to order a cocktail or something to drink each and an appetizer to share. The entrance's dining/bar area was empty and that was understandable because it was a fantastic weather day and all the patrons were all on the patio adjacent to the business... good start. We ordered jalapeno and hibiscus margarites, and shrimp ceviche. The hibiscus was awesome! Which made my spouse a bit jealous. The ceviche was fresh with just the right amount of acid and salt. At this point, thumbs up for all the items, which made us went for ordering fish taco and carne asada sopas. Unfortunately, the fish taco was over seasoned and a bit over cooked, my sopas was a knock-out BUT! they should have advised us that two per order... more than I had expected and I was delighted. The service was attentive and friendly. We will be adding this establishment into our friends get-together, date nights or just get-away from the spouse kinda place... casual, tasteful, laid back environment. I would recommend not as a destination place, but if you are in or within the surrounding neighborhoods, I'd say stop on in. read more

The prettiest margarita I ever did see! Perfect balance of strawbery to tequila! I didn't have the food but friends said it was alright. I think they needed to turn up the AC as it was a bit warm inside and they were out of a couple of things. I would return here for cocktails and outside seating as inside felt a little stuffy. read more

Good atmosphere, enjoyed the patio and they prepared some good quality food. The drinks were on point too.

On this night we visited one of my faves, Del Toro in Pilsen. This place is so modern and cozy. It has a great outdoor area when the weather is nice. But they bang out some awesome Mexican street food! Their manue is limited to traditional dishes like tacos, burritos sopes and some great appetizers like ceviche and carne Apache. What's so different about this place that makes me travel across the city for a burrito? For... street food? Well. It's like walking on a regular street if down Michigan Ave! The place is nice and service is great, but the food and ambiance make this an upscale food experience. . BUT... the food is not the only highlight of the place. They have concocted some of the BEST TASTING drinks known to man. Margaritas? They have 14 flavors. Beers? Yep, 21 to choose from. Whiskey? 9 to choose from. Tequilas? 23 white, reposado and añejo plus 31 extra aged / reserved... and tons of high quality mixed drinks. . Phew. That was a lot. Try the burrito, it's awesome. Try a margarita. Or a tequila, or whiskey. One thing is for sure. You'll like it here. read more

Solid tacos and drinks. Not the best I've had in Chicago by any means, but definitely better than the offerings on the north side. Came here with a friend and we each got 3 tacos and 1 margarita. The tacos are around $4-$5 each, depending on which you get. I had carne asada, camaron, and puerco adobado. All tasty. Not tiny, like some places, but I could probably house 6 of them on a good day. 3 and a drink was a good enough dinner portion for me and I was hungry when I came. My tamarind margarita was $13 and also solid. Acidic, and a good balance of liquor, but I probably would have preferred it a little sweeter. The restaurant is large and bustling, but there luckily there is a fair amount of seating. At 7:30pm on a Thursday, we got the last table available, by the window. Our server was very nice - no complaints here. While this will probably not be my first stop when I am next in Pilsen, I am glad I tried it, and I know that if I were to come back I could depend on a solid, tasty meal. read more

I was happy to discover this place after an event late in the evening. We were seated in the outdoor patio that was great for the weather. I personally had the Jalisco Old Fashioned that had a perfect smoky flavor and chocolate bitters rounded out the drink. We enjoyed guacamole and chips then had our choice of tacos a la carte. Great atmosphere at great meal to share with friends. read more

Del Toro - Steak and Pork Tacos! - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I am disgusted with the hostess who answered the phone at 10:12pm today (Thursday 6/2) I called to order for to go and the hostess told me that the kitchen is closed. I asked what time does the kitchen close- she said we do last call at 10:15pm. I told her it was 10:13pm now and last call wasn't for another 2mins and that would permit me to order. Incase she did not understand what last call meant, it means orders are permitted till that time. Instead, she said, I TOLD YOU LAST CALL WAS AT 10:15pm and the kitchen is closed then HUNG UP ON ME. I have worked in the restaurant industry for 10 years, I could never imagine hanging up on a customer. My call log is included below, and last call means a customer can order until that time. Very disappointing and will not longer order from This establishment. read more

We had heard good things about Del Toro and have been wanting to check them out for a long time. We wanted to sit outside, so we got there a few minutes after they opened on a Tuesday. There were already 3-4 tables seated, but their patio was huge and there would've been no problem being seated. There were plenty of tables even when we left around 6pm. We did not expect there to be such ample seating. The margaritas are the stars of the show! They were very good. I would definitely come back just for the margaritas. For food, I think we had the tacos and did not find them particularly remarkable. None of the tacos came with sauce, so the focus was the quality of the ingredients and how the proteins were marinated and prepared. But they weren't different or better than street tacos we've had elsewhere. The shrimp taco came with a good amount of shrimp. The fish taco was one of my favorites. The onion, cilantro, and lime were nice dressing... pretty standard but still appreciated. And the green salsa was good too. If the patio was dog friendly, we'd probably put Del Toro on a more regular rotation - for their margaritas and nice patio. However, the tacos were not very remarkable and a little pricey. Since we'd have to leave our pup at home, I think we'd opt to find something better. If we come back, we will def want to try other dishes. We saw a few tables getting the burger! read more

Best margaritas in all of Chicago! 10/10!! They open at 5pm and from the moment they open til last call they are packed! Each table has a two hour time slot, but you usually don't have to wait more than 25 minutes for a table. They have a bar where it's first come first serve while you wait for your seats. They have many margaritas to choose from in two different sizes and yummy food to accompany them! read more

Came for dinner, there were six of us. Each ordered a drink, I really enjoyed my passion fruit sangria. I wanted something light, so I ordered the cucumber and jicama salad and I asked for a side of shrimp, and they ran out by 8 pm. Menu is small and simple. I asked for a side of beans and rice, and they don't have rice. Two disappointments in a row. I asked my friends how their food was. They said it was pretty decent. Ambiance is casual. Music and chatter creates a hum of noise. I got into the habit of checking the prices on the bill to make sure what's advertised is accurate. Gratuity was included for our table of 6. Oh and they're also straw free. read more

This place is my all time favorite date night. From the food, to the drinks and environment 10/10. I love coming here on the weekends for the ceviche as a starter. My go to is the habanero burger. So yummy! And the margs are a must try!! My fav is the pineapple, and when in season the watermelon. My husband loves the coco loco but I don't have much of a sweet tooth. Definitely Recommend. read more

Del Toro - Drinks with the hubby - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Honesty this is my go to spot so I don't know if I can be unbiased. The margaritas are delicious! I recommend the sandia one, pepino, and their winter special blackberry rosemary. Food is yummy. Tacos de asada and camarón are my fave. The salsas aren't spicy at all though which is a bummer. The spicy (habanero) burger yum. Other tidbits: If you arrive early then it won't be a problem but otherwise there is usually a long wait even in winter time. Usually around 45 minutes. There are no reservations. Your whole party has to be there to get seated. You will be carded even if you're 80. Tables have a time limit of 1.5 hrs (even pre covid). Minors can be there before 9pm. This is the place that I will always recommend to my out of state friends. So go here!!! read more

Stopped by on a Tuesday evening and the place was packed. Ended up sitting in the covered heated outdoor tent. The tacos were great and flavorful but I was surprised everything is ala carte. No rice n beans and no combos that you normally expect at a Mexican restaurant. The drinks are OMG..too good!! I asked for the "special" which was the classic mojito. It was more than refreshing. Extremely well blended. However, since I asked for the special I was looking for special pricing. Not the case! It was reasonable at $10 but why advertise as special if no discount. Nevertheless, I would definitely love to return. Servers were also great. Restrooms are clean read more

I've been coming to Del Toro for over 3 years now and it never disappoints. The service is great and the tacos are authentic and tasty. I highly suggest trying the Pollo Adobado and Barbacoa tacos! Soooo good. Also, they have a great cocktail menu with tons of options for margarita flavors. The guacamole is also amazing and fresh. They have a mild and spicy version. Keep in mind that they do have a pretty limited menu. So if you're looking for enchiladas, quesadillas, empanadas, and things like that, you won't find it here. But if you're interested in a great taco and good drinks, please do give them a try. Parking can also be a bit difficult depending on the time you. But you can typically find something within a block or two away. read more

Great service, great prices, great quality - this place is a no brainer to take a group of family or friends! They've got a pretty big outdoor area with both a patio and a tent. The coco loco margarita was DELISH. We eat at Pilsen a lot and honestly the food here was on par or better than most places there, particularly the burrito. The only underwhelming thing was the ceviche which tasted a bit dry. Also you can make most drinks into a double but it costs an extra $6. We'll definitely be back! read more

5 stars for great ambiance and patio seating. They are still doing temp checks at the door, social distancing and wearing of masks. So props for that! We got the watermelon and passion fruit margaritas. Watermelon was kind of watery but the passion fruit was really good, I'd order that one again! Ordering and payment was super easy as they are all electronic. Food was a bit lackluster considering you're in Pilsen and surrounded by delicious and authentic Mexican food. None of the tacos wowed us at all (shrimp, fish, barbacoa and pork adovado). The steak burrito was just average. Guacamole was pretty good and spicy. The chorizo sopes were pretty good as well. Overall I'd. One back for drinks and apps but not for actual dinner. read more

READ THIS BEFORE HAVING A AWESOME TACO TUESDAY, TODAY, and EVERYDAY! FIRST STAR: Killer tacos PERIOD! Every last taco is seasoned, marinated, and created to fresh perfection! I just love them! SECOND STAR: Overall menu is bomb! Their ceviche, burritos, and salad is so on point it should be illegal how good everything is! Do wish they had more sides just because I know who ever is in charge of the flavors would kill it, but after working in a restaurant myself I know how awesome a concise menu can be both on staff and on table turns. THIRD STAR: Their BAR IS A STAR! Look here I myself am in love with their HIBISCUS MARGARITA! Lawd it is so good from the first to last gulp! However I love how versatile their menu is and the love put into each drink. FOURTH STAR: SERVICE IS TOP NOTCH! Now they did have a bit of a ball drop our first visit when pre-covid the waitress accidentally charged my bf twice taking our bill from $80 to $160. It would have been fine as working in a restaurant I know trying to move fast things happened, but she sat in my face and lied at first and said there was bo accident, that was a "restaurant fee". Being the only blacks there (at the time) I quietly grabbed her elbow and said "change it or I will have your manager change you". Never complained because I loved the vibe, food and drinks and wanted to come back, and am so glad I did not let her stupidity deter me. The rest if their staff is amazing, menu knowledgeable and definitely make it a point to say hello now that we have been patrons so long. FIFTH STAR: The overall vibe if the bar. During covid they did a great job increasing patio space, opening windows, and keeping the vibe distant but cozy. They are so cleanly, organized and keep a great energy with the music. Truly is a Pilsen and Chicago staple for me! read more
