Nice decor, Hispanic themed. Staff was very nice and did apologize about air issue, but if they had notified the group we could have decided if we still wanted to come or book another location. Food was good, homemade guacamole and salsa with chips was great, cheese quesadilla were nice, the chicken entree was moist and a good spice, tres leches cake was tasty and moist, churros were just OK. Mango slush margarita was really good little pieces of mango in it, they have a large tequila menu. Will try again when they have air working

Small mom and pop business with a few tables hidden away in a small strip mall. Could be a bit cleaner but overall pretty good.

Transparency Matters Bartender mistake, surprise fees, and…read morepoor communication. My husband and I stopped by for drinks and a couple of appetizers on date night. Unfortunately, we left disappointed. My husband first ordered a mezcal that was available as either a 1 oz pour for $12 or a full shot (1.5 oz) for $18. When he later ordered a different mezcal, the bartender asked if he wanted the 1 oz pour again, so naturally he said yes, assuming the same option was available. After serving the drink and after he had already taken a sip, she came back and said she had made a mistake and that this particular mezcal was only available as a $18 shot (1.5 oz). We didn't want to argue and simply asked her to top it off. Still, a bartender's mistake should not become the customer's responsibility after the drink has already been served. The second surprise came with the bill, when we were informed that an additional fee would be added for paying by credit card. Restaurants are free to charge such fees, but customers should be informed before ordering, not when it's time to pay. We spent over $70 on three drinks and two appetizers, so the issue wasn't the money. It was the lack of transparency and the way these situations were handled. With so many excellent bars and restaurants in downtown Naperville, I'd recommend spending your money at a place that values clear communication and treats its customers more fairly. We came in hoping for a fun and relaxing date night, but left disappointed by how these situations were handled.

BIEN HERE BEFORE As…read morepart of the Bien Trucha restaurant family, Quiubo serves some familiar flavors in downtown Naperville. The Water St area has a great variety of restaurants including Vasili's (modern Greek), Blue Sake (sushi), SixtyFour Wine Bar and Quiubo (modern Mexican).  Technically I ate from here once - takeout during covid - but it was so long ago it might as well not count.  Most recently, my wife and I came here for dinner on a Friday in late June and sat outside. The sangria ($14) was strong, I appreciated the extra touches like apple bitters and a float of bourbon.  My wife loved the Pa'Dentro ($15), a cocktail with tequila, passion fruit, and orange liqueur.  The mango habanero margarita ($15) was also mixed perfectly.  5/5 The guacamole ($11) was fresh and flavorful: avocado, tomatillo, onion, cilantro, serrano and lime.  My wife found it a bit too spicy (diced serrano adds more heat than a traditional jalapeno) but I enjoyed it despite a small-ish portion.  4/5 We also got a queso fundido de camaron ($16): melted chihuahua cheese, red onion and pan seared shrimp, with tortillas and cilantro-serrano sauce.  Pan searing the shrimp instead of grilling them is certainly a choice....but not one I'd make again.  2/5 Esquites ($8.50), on the other hand, were awesome: grilled corn, epazote butter, lemon aioli, cotija cheese, tajin.  One of the best we've tried in a long time, but for $9 we expected a lot more elote!  5/5 The birria tacos (2 for $11) were very good; my wife was right to point out they should've come with a cup of birria juice on the side.  The tacos al pastor (2 for $10) were delicious: marinated pork with pineapple, cilantro, onion and salsa morita.  Next time, more tacos!  4.5/5 For dessert we got flan ($10), a creamy vanilla custard with caramel, rompope and cookie crumbs.  It was a denser style of flan and tasted amazing, but I don't know how I feel about that random pile of cookie dust.  4/5 Bread = 4.5 Circuses = 3.5 It took way too long for a server to come over and take our order at the beginning.  Thankfully the food came out FAST!  The bar, on the other hand, was lagging big time.  We were more than halfway finished with dinner by the time our cocktails showed up. Also important note for cheapskates like me: they do not serve free chips & salsa.  Quiubo isn't that kind of place, so if you want salsa with chips, you'll have to pay for it. * TL;DR * Rest assured you can get the same high quality tacos and cocktails from the Bien Trucha group. We were really impressed with a couple items like the esquites/elotes and al pastor tacos, as well as the atmosphere inside.  The vibes outside were solid and even though service was slow at first, we'd love to come back.  I'd recommend Quiubo for sure.

I visited on a Tuesday when there are (5) cocktails and (6) food options for $10 each. They also offer half off MP Oysters. The restaurant has exterior signage on where to enter the building before going up to the fifth floor. The inside has a light and bright aesthetic and truly had some amazing views of downtown Naperville. For drinks, I got the Old Fashioned which was perfectly balanced yet spirit forward. My husband got the Spanish G&T which the rotating gin was an African gin with orange notes. The drink overall was refreshing for summer. For food, we shared the Papas Fritas which was seasoned fries with a salsa sauce and celery cream sauce. I surprisingly liked the sauces a lot and the portion was a perfect light snack for four. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my visit. The normal menu is a bit pricey but I would certainly come back for Thursday Martini night!

Okay, I have questions. First, how is that considered a meal for one?…read more I ordered the steak burrito with chips, salsa, and guacamole at the counter and took everything home. Somewhere around halfway through the burrito, I realized I had made a serious miscalculation. This thing was enormous. By the time I finally admitted defeat, I was completely stuffed and still had a pile of chips sitting there that I couldn't possibly finish. The burrito itself was seriously good. I've had a lot of Mexican food since moving away from San Diego, including plenty of food down near the border, and this is easily one of the better burritos I've had since leaving. The steak was great, the portions were generous, and it actually tasted like the kind of food I remember getting back in San Diego. The salsa was good, but the guacamole was the real surprise. That guac was incredible. I probably could have eaten the entire container with nothing but chips and been perfectly happy. The restaurant has that authentic, no-frills feel that I really like. You walk in, order at the counter, grab your food, and head home. Nothing fancy and nothing trying too hard. Just good food, huge portions, and the kind of meal that makes you realize you probably should have ordered less right around the time you realize you're not going to stop eating. Taking it home was probably for the best anyway, because nobody had to witness the ritual of unbuttoning your pants after a meal like this. That ritual is usually reserved for Thanksgiving. I went in expecting a cheap burrito. I ended up with a burrito big enough to humble me, incredible guacamole, leftover chips, and tomorrow's lunch already handled. That's the kind of math I'm happy to do.

Our party of 3 was pretty hungry after an evening of outdoor music, so we each ordered a torta--one steak, one chicken, and one chorizo. We were surprised the specialty drinks (horchata, agua de Jamaica) were also self serve. Please keep in mind that we were there with less than an hour to close, so we understood why the horchata wasn't refilled. The chips were a little stale, but the guacamole had good flavor and good consistency. The tortas had enough meat on each of them, the bread was toasted to perfection, and the flavors of each meat were delicious. There were enough toppings, but collectively, we wished there was avocado on the sandwich. Overall, we appreciated them being open, appreciated the cleanliness, and were satisfied with the sandwiches. We would eat there again if we were in the area!
