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

Del toro is THE place to go for fruity margaritas. The regular margaritas are ok - definitely order a fruit variety. They make it with real fruit! Here is a picture of the berry jalepeno - they lit it on fire I would give this place 5 stars for the fruity margaritas but the food is only ok read more

Del Toro with their large menu of margaritas and Cinco de Mayo. Seemed like a fantastic idea. They opened at 5pm on Cinco de Mayo so we got their slightly earlier and thought we were in good shape standing in line. Del Toro is tiny so even though we were early and relatively close to the front of the line we were not so lucky as to secure a table and had to settle for the last bar stool for the 4 of us. I ordered the guava margarita although I was torn with the passion fruit. A tropical one sounded good after the beers from earlier that day. The first sip was sweet and refreshing and afterwards too coyingly sweet and unremarkable. Our standing spot around the one bar stool was frustrating as we were constantly being shoved by servers and other customers. We had another friend meeting us there and they were not allowed to come in because no one was going out. And why did such a small place need 3 bouncers??? Seemed excessive to me. read more

In this photo you will see an ample amount of shrimp covered with cheese. This is my preference. You can have the Pico de Gallo sauce that goes with it but I opt out of that option.

Stopped in here after a locs yelp event for tacos and it was a pleasant experience. Service was quick and our server was personable. Tacos were seasoned well (I ordered steak and shrimp) and the drinks were very tasty and strong! I love an establishment that won't skimp out on liquor so this is one place I'll return to :-) read more

Your go-to place for excellent margaritas. We tried a few different ones and they were all well balanced, fresh, and flavorful. Worth going on a Friday/Saturday to try their barbacoa! Unfortunately, the Sope (masa) was bland which brought down the flavor of the dish. I'd still say this place is an easy recommendation to offer in the end. read more

Drinks! That's the highlight of this place. Tacos (2 steak, one chicken), we're good. But living in the city of Chicago, of course I've had better. And definitely have had less expensive per taco. The chicken was offered as "marinated or grilled". Since marinating something is just letting it sit longer with seasoning before cooking, it didn't explain how it was cooked. I mean, it's not like I was asking about ceviche (which CAN be "cooked" by it marinating in lime juice). When I asked, "well, how is the marinated one cooked", I was looked at like I was the one who said something confusing. So, I decided to take a chance and go with the marinated one. It was just grilled as well, just with more seasoning since it was marinated. Now we know lol. My friends had their burgers as well. They said they liked em and were filling. But again, I didn't come for the food, I look forward to the drinks. All drinks I had we a hit. I had all margaritas. Hibiscus, Pepino, and Tamarindo. All yummy. Hibiscus was my favorite. My friends also tried a variety of flavors. Everyone was happy with their choices. Service was quick while ordering but, anything outside of adding to our bill or getting the bill itself, was beyond slow. Asked for a water refill 3x before getting it. Along with trying to get the check. read more

They have a big heated tent outside in addition to the indoor seating. We sat in the tent and it was nicely warm. We had the chicken sopes, steak burrito, chips and guacamole, and we split a skinny margarita. All great, no gristle in the meat. We will be back! read more

Not sure how I found this place to bookmark it, but glad I did. I was looking for a new spot to hit, w/good late night food/drinks and decided to check them out. The place doesn't have a sign on it so I almost passed it up. Also parking was a real B*TCH... We go in and we're told there's 30min wait. The place was packed (very small so that's not hard). They have about 15 tables (that may be a stretch), so go early or be prepared to wait. Luckily our wait was like 5-10 mins. We ordered steak, chicken, & shrimp tacos. I didn't try the chicken, but my friend didn't like it. The steak was good, to me I'd say a 3.5. The shrimp tacos were good, again a 3.5 for me. We had 2 drinks each. The passion fruit sangria & mango margaritas, were both tasty. The service was Pretty good too. Their prices are pretty cheap, I'd definitely go back and spread the word about the place. read more

Not pictured - the tacos I finished before remembering to get a picture because of how good they were. The ceviche has options of being mixed or either just shrimp or just white fish. Appreciate that they have that accommodation for that dish. The guac was creamy and flavorful. Between the 3 in my party, both apps were delicious and more than enough for us. My hibiscus margarita was absolutely divine, would be inclined to share its one of the best margs i've ever had. The juice was fresh and the tequila was well balanced - perfectly refreshing. I will definetly be coming back. Their patio space is massive and looks perfect for summer. Would reccomend making a reservation otherwise anticipate a potential short wait for a table if walking in. This place is always packed which is how you know it's good! read more

I was disappointed in Del Toro after anticipating going here for months. I was looking for a quick & relatively cheap option for dinner & that's pretty much where my compliments will end. The food had a very processed element to it. I wouldn't go so far as to compare it to a Taco Bell but it definitely lacked a fresh quality. I did however enjoy the "Pollo Adobado". The seasoning wasn't bland at all. The shrimp tacos were virtually tasteless. Same goes for the burrito. The sour cream & salsa wasn't enough to salvage this food. My search for a grail status taco place continues... The restaurant is small & located on a strip with free parking. The staff were nice & the food came out quite quickly. The bar seemed to be well stocked & although it was a Tuesday night the place was crowded. read more

Delicious drinks. Great spot. Parking can be a bit challenging but then again, it's Pilsen. Uber may be a better option given than the drinks are SO delicious. We had the pepino, piña, tamarindo, and the cazuela margarita. Our faves were the pepino and the piña. The cazuela was beautifully served on a clay jar but was just okay. The bartender asked if I liked it and I told him that unfortunately, I did not. I was pleasantly surprised when the bartender made me a whole new and delicious drink! How nice is that? I wished I had room in my belly for more drinks. Anyhow, we had guac and chicken tacos. Guac passed the "authentic Mexican test" and the tacos looked yummy. My friend had them and I forgot to ask to rate them. lol. The place is pleasant, restrooms are clean, the staff is pretty awesome, the music is a mix of Spanish rock, and the patrons are pretty cool and down to earth. read more

Delicious chicken adobado was off the chain. Throughly seasoned and with all the accouterments that come with a burrito. It's filled with chicken, and not a bunch of rice like these Tex Mex franchises. The price was $8 which is cheaper than Qdoba. read more

Yes, the margaritas are a must try! My favorite is the tamarindo, but the others are just as flavorful. Food is delicious. Nothing negative to say. TIP: Wait time is long, so make sure to make a reservation ahead of time if you want to dine-in. If you dont mind, they have a narrow bar area where they will serve you drinks, but have very limited seating! read more

I came to Del Toro about 4 years ago when they were a very small establishment! To my surprise they expanded exponentially! They have a really cute back patio and the vibe is great!

The tacos are delicious and a great portion. We will be back soon!! read more

I've been to Del Toro many times; however, this is the first time I leave a review. I had a date night with a girl friend, we both had the sopes and a few Margaritas! The drinks were amazing! I had a watermelon margarita, a melon margarita, a strawberry margarita, and I got to try my friends hot chocolate margarita. All of them were exquisite. The sopes were a nice size, they had a tasty flavor, but they were a little to crisp for my liking though. Our server was quick and attentive. read more

Hibiscus margarita. Really, that's all you need to know. Because I'm the charitable sort, I'll let you in on a few more secrets... but just this one time. Pilsen's got a brand new(ish) spots for folks to flock too. It's got a decidedly more ethnic appeal than it's down-the-block neighbors but not only does that make sense (hello, we're in Pilsen) but it's highly refreshing. It's nice to run into something different on this stretch of Halsted. The vibe is cool, inviting and celebratory. People come here to have a good time. They don't come here for a scene neither do they come here to pose. They come here to laugh, drink, mingle, and eat... sounds like what a lounge should be, no? Drinks are definitely the star of the show here. Similar to Diversey's Masa Azul, this is a tequila-lovers playground. I am not particularly fond of tequila but when paired with hibiscus and avoiding salt, I find that it goes down nice and smoothly. Be careful about just how smooth, seeing as public transit and taxis are exactly plentiful over here. Since I was driving, I couldn't partake in as many libations as I wanted, so I spent some time on the menu. The bites are small but well-portioned. I am trying to get better about portion control and eating until full, rather than stuffed. The guacamole was fresh and just a wee bit spicy while the queso fundido with shrimp & mushrooms was a bigger plate than I expected and easily sharable. I wasn't that impressed with the lechon taco. After getting a hard sell about it, it was pretty small (a bite; granted, I have a big mouth... but still) and the flavor wasn't remarkable. At the end of the day, it's a lechon taco but you can find plenty of lechon tacos for less that taste the same or better -- in this very neighborhood. So, skip it and concentrate on the plates you can share. Oh, and the tequila. Don't forget about that. But, could you... really? read more

Del Toro - from http://www.deltorochicago.com/ - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Del Toro provides the most fresh Latin Cuisine in the city. I've been to this establishment a few times, and I have yet to be let down. It is street parking only, so be prepared to search. Also, it is a key to get here as early as possible. The space is small and fills up quickly. This past Saturday the restaurant opened at 5 and all tables were occupied before 5:30. The host even informed us of a new "two hour rule" on Fridays and Saturdays. They are asking all guests to keep table sitting time while dining at a maximum of two hours to provide space for new guests, yet you're than welcome to move to the bar after your two hours. The drinks here are a must. They do not skimp on the alcohol. There is a tall spicy one that includes a Modelo beer that seems to be a favorite at the establishment. I stick to a Fresa for the most time. The guacamole is made to order. And the food is simply delicious! read more

The last time I ate at this restaurant was pre pandemic. I recommend this place for myself and some ex colleagues to meet up for dinner and drinks, and boy were we disappointed. The food was ok, but the margaritas tasted like we were drinking flavored water, we spoke with the waiter about this and he was completely nonchalant and never offered an apology nor a solution. Never will we ever visit this place again! read more

I am on a mission to try every Mexican restaurant in Pilsen and I am so glad I took the time to come here! The margaritas are unbelievably good and the food is pretty tasty as well. There are about 10 different flavors of margs so there's no way you won't find something you like! There's also a great outdoor patio that is good for large groups. All in all will definitely be coming back. read more

The margaritas were delicious but the food not so much. We had the guacamole which was just ok and I ordered two tacos. One shrimp, one carne asada. The shrimp was just ok but the carne asada was not good. The meat tasted gamey. For the beef to taste like that tells me they don't use the best quality meat. Do not recommend for food! read more

I came here on a Friday night. My friend lives nearby and we happened to walk by this place by accident. Tequila is my favorite type of alcohol, so we had to go in. Inside, the bouncers were very nice. There was an empty table available, but one guy happened to be just sitting there, so they cleared it for us. Thank you! However, when it came to ordering our drinks and water when we were done, it was the hardest thing ever! We tried to flag down our waitress several times, but she walked past without even looking at us. Aside from the customer service, the guacamole was good. I got the mango margarita, which was tasty. However, I did not like that it was rimmed with that chile lime dip because so much of it fell into the drink that I couldn't finish my entire drink. Disappointment. The atmosphere was alright. There were some loud parties of screaming women, but you can't fix that! I would come here again if I didn't feel like going out to downtown, but it wouldn't be the first place on my list on a regular night. read more

Stopped by last Friday and was pleasantly surprised by the size of their patio. Did not expect that at all. We started with margaritas which were good. Tried several tacos and the shrimp one and steak were our favorites. The tacos are on small tortillas but they were filled pretty good. Guac & Salsa everyone enjoyed I just wish they either made their own chips or served them warm. They enforced the 90 minutes on the table but our server pushed it a little longer. Not sure why they were enforcing this when there was plenty of empty tables and we were still drinking. But either way overall a good place to check out during the day. Night time might be a different story. By the signs they have up inside it looks like it can get out out control after 9pm. read more

Del Toro. It's local, simple, and affordable. I think that's the perfect formula for greatness. Our party of three on a Tuesday evening had the guacamole with chips, chorizo quesadilla, beef ceviche with chips, steak taco, fish taco, and steak burrito. That's approximately 50% of the menu items placed on our table and NONE of them were meant to disappoint. The guacamole was very smooth and refreshing whereas the beef ceviche had more of a spicy kick. They were both very good and plentiful. It was not a bright idea for the three of us to have two orders of chips though. The quesadilla was thin, but it's neatly divided into eight pieces. It is great for sharing! The burrito and tacos were also overwhelmingly tasty and delicious. Their lack of Mexican authenticity can easily be disregarded. My favorite was the grilled tilapia taco. It was small but the flavors were bursting. I could probably eat it every day for a week and still not get sick of it. The steak taco was a bit tough but it was manageable. The steak burrito was also smaller than usual. Dip it in the complimentary sour cream and salsa! You will not regret! Note to self: I must return and try their drinks. They look too good to be missed. read more
