Food and drinks were amazing! Some of the best hospitality of any restaurant I've ever been. Will 100% be going back.

We were introduced to NRebozo when they were at their previous location in Oak Park and have been coming back at least once a year since. First, we always feel welcome when we come. Chef greets everyone at their table and personally goes over the menu. He is enthusiastic, engaging, exciting, and proud of his creations. Just going is part of the experience! The menu is not expansive and it is not a typical taco burrito store. This is a place where chef is proud of his personal creations. His premier menu item are his various mole sauces on enchilada; 40 different recipes, many his own creations. He serves up 6 enchilada with different rotating sauces. Additionally, he typically has 2 very creative daily specials which our foody friends enjoy. (I am always tempted to order the specials, but always seem to return to the enchiladas and taste from the others plates. This is a place to go for unique Mexican food. Chef always says thank you for supporting his restaurant. What a nice personal touch. read more

OH MY GOD. The best. Chef Paco is a genius, and the place has perfect vibes. It's our go-to for every family event.

The food was excellent, and I truly enjoyed the cocktails. It's a great venue whether you're dressed up or going casual. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the chef/owner has a wonderful personality. read more

I always enjoy coming here. Paco makes our dining experience even better. As I waited for my friend, who was 30 minutes late, I enjoyed a wonderful cocktail - Corn Charco - crunchy chips & salsa, and chafing with Paco My friend is vegetarian so, for the pleasure of sharing dishes, I choose to forseak meats for the night. We shared the Fiesta Mole enchiladas plate with 6 different types of mole including their original Pobleno and Pipian, and Chile Nogada (one of my favorite). They use, for the Chile and one of the enchiladas, Flor de Jamaica - Hibiscus Flowers. The texture was tender and chewy like pulled, the look was like stewed meat, and the flavor was a subtle sour and slightly bitter picking up the spices. It was delicious I had a second cocktail, Disaronno Agave Old Fashioned, excellent pairing well with our vegetarian meal For dessert, we shared flan, a coffee-flavored flan, not that sweet and the texture was more like cheesecake than flan. Very good. The space is small, and it gets a little loud, so I like to go early, and the food and drinks are worth my one-hour drive from the west burbs. It's a favorite restaurant for my son and me. read more

Best Mexican. A true gem. Authentic mole. Our top choice hands down! The number 1 place in the burbs.

Chef Paco hasn't changed a bit. Oh! My! God! And I still love their mole! New location and revised name- still good food. read more

NRebozo is always a great experience. The food is always top quality and unlike anything you can get elsewhere. The drinks, but alcohol and mocktail, are truly worth it! The only way I eat here is by allowed Chef Paco to choose the mole sampler for me. I tell him that I an allergic to dairy, but I'm fine with everything else. He pairs the meat with the mole of his choice and I have never regretted it. The restaurant is cozy and clean and doesn't seem to get too loud, even when it's full. Overall, great experience and will definitely go back! read more

Delicious entrees, especially the pomegranate dish offered seasonally. Prices are also reasonable. Chef Paco is always welcoming and willing to recommend options to first time diners. The new location is simply adorable and a perfect location if you want to stroll before or after dinner. read more

Fantastic vibe and food. Chef is super welcoming and very talented. Will definitely go back.

NRebozo is one of the greatest restaurants in the Western Suburbs. Chef Paco is wonderful, friendly, caring, and kind. The drinks are incredible too. I highly recommend the Fiesta Moles with cheese, so you can get a feel for each flavor. I also love the Cancun Grill fajitas with cactus. Every dish is great though. The interior is beautiful and feels like a high end supper club in the city. I can't recommend this place enough. I go at least twice a month. My kids love it too! Great for a date or a family night out. read more

This was such a great place to eat at. Chef Paco came by our table to tell us about the menu, and it's always a treat talking with someone who's passionate about what they do, and also cares deeply that you have a good experience. We had the sope with hibiscus, which had interesting flavors, and the fiesta mole, which were amazing, and also very fun, all of the different mole sauces as well as the variety of vegetarian fillings. At his recommendation, we also got the flan for dessert, which was absolutely delicious. The inside of the restaurant was also nice, with some great artwork on the walls. The only downside is that the timings are a bit inconvenient if you don't live nearby -- really wish they had a lunch as well as dinner option. I'm still thinking about the meal days later, though, so will have to make my way back soon. I haven't found anything else like it in the Chicagoland area. read more

Comfortable indoor/outdoor seating. Perfect for date night or small groups, place is rather small. Food is Latin fusion. Creative ingredients rather than traditional used in surprisingly delicious ways. Prices on high end . Not for young children unless outdoor, daytime seating parking is plentiful and great neighborhood to walk in. Service is hit and miss sadly as there seems to be frequent turnover in staff. read more

Go for mole, but skip everything else. It's my third time there and will not be going back.

Wow, what a night! We haven't been to NRebezo in about 3 years when they were in their Oak Park location. They are in a new cute Day of the Dead decorated spot just a little further West in Forest Park with inside and outside seating and a beautiful old restored bar. This is the kind of place that could rival Rick Bayless' Frontera Grill if they were located downtown. Chef Paco is always so friendly and welcoming and open to sharing ideas on menu items where he brings his own personal flair of Mexican food with a twist. The food and cocktails are excellent and the atmosphere was wonderful. We started with the Pomegranate margarita and Corn margarita (yes my husband won on that one - so good!), fruit guacamole and chips, and tamales with goat cheese and mango. And for our entrees, I had the Fiesta Mole dish with six enchiladas that had six different and delicious mole sauces and your choice of filling - steak, cheese, veggie, chicken, etc. One word for that dish - amazing! One of their specialties is mole dishes and one reason we always come back. My husband had their specialty daily special - a pork dish with a totally different mole and mashed potatoes. We shared dessert at the end. Totally stuffed and happy in such a nice and warm place. Thanks Chef Paco and team. We'll be back again soon! read more

First off, the owner is very friendly and personable. He was very attentive, informative, and full of energy during our entire time in the restaurant. He was definitely a highlight of the experience. The food was no slouch either. We had the house margarita, made with honey and a hibiscus margarita. Both of these were insanely refreshing and flavorful. I recommend both. The sope with hibiscus was a random order that I decided on because of the owner's enthusiasm about it. I honestly don't know how they got the flavor for this dish, but I haven't had anything like it before. A must-have appetizer. Finally, the fiesta moles were a great end to the meal. This dish is also hyped up by the owner. He says he only makes a certain amount each day, so if that's true, I'm glad I got to try them. There are 6 separate flavors to enjoy with this dish. Unfortunately, I can not remember each flavor, but they seem to change over time. Overall, I overwhelmingly recommend this place. Give it a shot and enjoy. read more

We had a wonderful experience at NRebozo. Service was great, food and drinks were unique and delicious and the ambiance was very pleasant. This was our first time here, and I was surprised at how empty it was on a Saturday night by 8 pm (two large parties had just left, and there were only a couple of smaller parties by that time). It definitely deserves to be packed! We ordered the Fiesta Mole (highly recommend) and the shrimp fajitas (as expected, this was good but nothing special). I wish we hadn't eaten so many chips so we could have had room to try the Chile Poblano, but the salsa was really good and perfectly spicy, so we couldn't stop ourselves! We don't go out to dinner much, but when we do in the future, NRebozo will be at the top of our list! read more

Fantastico! The Chef came out to greet us, talk about the dishes, and presented them with flair. His description of the mole sampler as "outstanding" was spot on: truly delicious. My highest recommendation for this wonderful restaurant. read more

OMG! My wife and I had a wonderful evening a few weeks back. Decided last minute to visit New Rebozo and sit at the bar. Wonderful service by our bartender. She was so helpful and made amazing drinks. My wife had the Skinny Margarita ( she said there was nothing skinny about it) and I had a house old fashion. Fabulous! We started with the queso fundido de crema and OMG. We split the chicken fajitas and they were perfect. Ended with some dessert after dinner drinks. Such a good night. We'll be back. read more

Eat there last night the owner loves his restaurant and so do I that meal that I had was one of best tasting meals i've had in long wail . try the enchilada plate with seven different mole sauce. Everyone else enjoyed there food also read more

Everything was so expensive. The drinks were expensive and very small. The fajitas were over $30 and all you got was meat and vegetables; Nothing came with it such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa or anything else. Chef Paco is great, but how is he in charge of every single table? You didn't know who your waiter was and couldn't get help. Everything took forever. Our appetizer was over $24 and was some queso with shrimp. It was good, but it cost more than an average meal at other restaurant I won't be going back. read more

Fancy, fancy! I've been dining at New Rebozo since around the time it opened. I've been here to celebrate birthdays, class reunions, and wedding anniversaries. The food not only is a standout, but I adore Chef Paco. Through a few friends I heard they moved to a new location up the street; the warned me that it was different ambiance-wise, but the food was like an old friend. The ambiance is strikingly different. Where the old location was colorful, festive, and adorned with lots of items, the new place is sleek and sophisticated with subway tile walls and vintage light fixtures. I know they took over for another restaurant, so I assume a lot of the decor is influenced by that. To start, we had a round of drinks and an appetizer. I had a mezcal margarita and my friends ordered the portabella appetizer and they loved it; at least one mistook the meaty flavor for a meat dish. Chef Paco insisted I try it, so I ate the filling, which was OMG and skipped the mushroom part, which I don't care for. For my main, I ordered the Enchiladas Indigenas. It's not the first time I've had it, but it never fails to disappoint. I look forward to many more years of dining here. read more

I love this restaurant. I've been here on several occasions to celebrate birthdays or for a date night with my husband. Chef Paco goes to every table to highlight the specials. Chef and the staff are friendly, warm and welcoming always! The fiesta mole is perfection! I've ordered it more than once and the flavor combo is incredible. The hibiscus margarita is my favorite drink. I also love the flan. Great service, warm ambiance, and flavorful food. Went again last weekend and will definitely go again. As Chef Paco would say, "Oh My God" it's so good! read more

The restaurant is trendy! My only feedback for improvement is the chairs can be a bit uncomfortable after sitting for 1+ hours. Obviously this did not impact my rating because the food and cocktails were worth every penny. The mole was my favorite and every single one was packed with authentic flavor. Chef Paco and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be returning! read more

I'm so embarrassed that I did not know about this restaurant while I lived in the area! I thought it was a new restaurant that my friends suggested. My friends and I had a reunion of sorts- it's been about 18 years since we've been together in the same room! They accommodated a group of 11 and we were definitely the loudest in the restaurant (sorry about that!) We enjoyed the food while we laughed about things we did in high school. I had the margarita with the delicious hibiscus flowers, shared empanadas, had one of the specials (Chile Nogado) and the chocolate jalapeño ice cream. The chef was just so friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be back next time when I'm visiting. read more

Holy Mole! Ambiance is lovely! Look up when you enter! Head Chef Paco actually comes to the table to tell you about the specials and the MOLES! We split the appetizer's specials which were delicious. Three out of the four of us got the Fiesta Moles with 6 different MOLES! They were a mix of traditional and unique like plum, hazelnut and sweet potato!! Very tasty. One member got a margarita that had some spicy rim and it was very complex and flavorful. While Chef comes to the table for a very personal experience, other staff fell flat. They didn't seem to know anything about the menu and who ordered what. It was explained to us that they were short staffed and 3 staff there were brand new. read more

What to Get: - Fiesta Mole ($22.95) - Chile en Nogada ($23.95) - Enchiladas Indigents ($14.95) Pandemic Dining Options: offer curbside pick up and deliver. payment Options: Cash/Credit cart Parking : Street meter *In my yelpions:What makes New Rebozo so special and worth the drive is that the uniqueness of their menu. As they are known for their Fiesta Mole, which are different types of chocolate mole cover with 6 different enchiladas, filling with cheese, chicken, beef, chorizo and guacamole individually. Each flavor are so unique and flavorful, there's absolutely nothing like this out there. I don't understand why Chile en Nogada is only a seasonal dish(september - January), but please get it while you can. The dish are make with pepper stuffed with sweet beef, mixed with pecans and dried fruits, then covered with pecan cream sauce, with sprinkled of pomegranates. So juicy and refreshing. At first it was a little odd just with the sauce itself because is actually a sweet creamy sauce, but who would have know pomegranates could make such a huge different. Chef Paco is truly passion for his cooking. And hopefully when the whole pandemic over, I would be able to dine in again for some steamy hot mole. read more

I was in town for Thanksgiving and happily, had a chance to visit NRebozo in their new location. The decor is fun and modern in the new place, and the food was excellent as always! We all had the Chile nogada because it's so amazing and is only around in the fall through the holidays. I talked about this in my original review, but will mention it again here, because this dish is absolutely delicious. A pepper, stuffed with seasoned meat and nuts, topped with fresh pomegranate and a creamy sauce...I know it might sound unusual but it manages to mix sweet, spicy, crunchy and creamy all in one dish and OMG it works so well. I've never seen it on the menu anywhere else. My other favorite dish here are the enchiladas with the moles...OMG these are so good!! The chocolate jalapeño ice cream is also not to be missed..,creamy, sweet, spicy.... Chef Paco is as enthusiastic as ever! Guests are welcomed as friends, and he really does seem to remember return customers even if it's been awhile. The ONLY downside is that menus are only available via the QR code up front and the menu has a lot of pictures so loads slowly....and if you're on a capped data plan it does use a lot of data. So...maybe best to check out the menu ahead of time on fast wifi. Or....just wait for Chef Paco to come around to talk about the specials because those are always amazing! read more

(Last time we went it was 2018 in a different location.) If you enjoy having a conversation while you enjoy a meal, its very difficult there. Bad acoustics made talking impossible. The noise level pushed us out the door. The 3 pork tacos ($24.95) needed a "wow "sauce since they were a little dry but I didn't want to ask for anything that was 'Not the Recipe". A phrase my husband got when asked if he could have mole on the poblano pepper. So I poured the salsa on my taco since it was already on the table. I guess the "recipe " is more important than a customer enjoying the meal. read more

What an amazing restaurant! I heard about this place from a friend and I'm so happy I went. The inside of this restaurant is very welcoming and warm. I loved the homey feeling of this place. Chef Paco comes to every table with an iPad and talks about a couple of recommended appetizers and dishes. He also asks if anyone at the table has any allergies which I found to be very considerate. I ordered the fiesta mole with half guacamole filling and the other half with beans. I'm so glad that this dish can be made vegetarian. Chef Paco also told me the enchiladas can be filled with cheese or hibiscus as well. Oh my god. I cannot even describe how amazing each mole flavor was. The mole was very creamy and flavorful. I loved all of the six flavors but if I had to pick a favorite it would be the eggplant. He changes a couple of the flavors every few weeks. He is extremely creative. I cannot wait to come back here!! read more

How have I never raved about New Rebozo before? It's always FANTASTIC! Chef Paco is charming as ever. Tamarind Mezcal Margarita with Banhez Espadín Joven mezcal, agave nectar, orange liquor, fresh lemon juice and tamarind nectar, and Jamaica margarita with agave tequila, orange liquor, guava juice, fresh lime and Jamaica nectar; refreshing and unusual delights. Appetizer of Sope with sautéed hibiscus flower and onions, served on black fired beans and mashed potatoes painted with Mole Habanero was scrumptious and enough for 2. Who knew you could sauté hibiscus??? Them of course because we don't get to come often enough, we have to get the rainbow of moles: one tamarind, hibiscus (another great use I'd never have imagined,) a WHITE CHOCOLATE (delicious with cheese filling), poblano, and pepito, every one just luscious and different. Then a trio of tiny chocolate, cherry and cafe flan to finish the delicious dinner. We need to come more often to try all the other delicious offerings! Fantastic place, famous for a reason. read more

OH.MY.GOD! NRebozo (nee New Rebozo) has moved to Forest Park, about 5 blocks from their old Oak Park location. Parking is WAY easier! We visited the new location last Friday night (our date night), after dining at the old location many, many times. Some things never change, and Paco and his passion are two of those things. It would be inadvisable to mess with perfection, no? read more

Fiesta Mole is delicious at $24 for 6 enchiladas with filling of your choosing covered in 6 different mole sauces along with side of rice and beans. Horchata is ok but overpriced for $5 for a 12oz with no ice. Pass on guacamole and chips for $11 during takeout due chip to guacamole ratio, guacamole is ok at 8oz but the amount of chips provided is about 1.5oz or the size of the quarter bag of chips at your convenience store which leaves you with lots extra guacamole. Would not suggest getting fajitas dinner at New Rebezo. Didn't read full description of fajita dinner sides cause generally most Mexican restaurants serve fajita dinners with beans and rice as a standard but at New Rebezo you literally get a full side of sour cream which is pretty ridiculous. Generally I like a little splash of sour cream on my fajita tacos as a condiment but the amount of sour cream supplied is for either dipping or smothering your fajita taco full of sour cream or eating spoonfuls of sour cream which is kinda disgusting to me but maybe practiced in obesity culture. Called the restaurant and questioned the amount of sour cream provided and if they ran out of rice, but they told me sour cream was in fact a side and after reading the menu again, sure enough sour cream is literally a side in fajita dinner. read more
