I ate at Susupuato for a special event, and found the food to be fantastic and the service just as good. Their spinach-and-cheese enchiladas were superb, the beans & rice hit the spot, and a friend raved about their chicken w/mole. And while their team was running around to get everything served, they went out of their way to help an attendee w/dietary restrictions. Five stars all around! read more

Enchiladas Mole, guac with the chips, gratis soup and a complimentary shot of tequila for dessert. Excellent service and food from the two guys who run the place, just two ! This is a neighborhood favorite I've been told. read more

I enjoyed our mean at Susupuato. Our food came out hot and fast. The margs were delightfully spirit-forward. We were a little early for the dinner rush, but patrons steadily trickled in as the hours passed. Food was standard quality with no real complaints on anything! Our server was super kind and we had lots of check ins. A nice mid-level Mexican dining experience with very strong margs read more

Susupuato is the best Mexican restaurant on the North Side. Hands down my favorite place. The service is always amazing, the food is to die for, and the ambiance is very cozy. Their margaritas are some of the best at margs that I have ever had and your food always come with chips and salsa. Also Loyola students receive a 15% discount on every meal! read more

Susupuato Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place gets my nomination for one of the most memorable meals ever, and I don't even recall what I ate. The day we were there, which was several years ago, there was some kind of photo shoot going on at a car detailing/customizing place next door. Models were parading in and out of the restaurant and using the women's restroom as a dressing room for costume changes, then going back outside to pose on top of exotic automobiles. What little I do remember of the food is that they served some dyed-red tortilla chips, which my little group ate in abundance. The next morning each of us had a scare when our poops came out bloody red, but then we realized it was the food dye and not some sort of internal hemorrhaging. We still all talk about it to this day. read more

Wow, wow, wow! Welcome Susupuato to the hall of fame. Boom! Automatically admitted. We start with a traditional lime margarita. Not too sweet, present lime flavors, a little citrus, and noticeable booziness. While not the best I'd had, it was a basic item done right. It is also light orange in color... juice, perhaps? Don't know, and honestly, does it matter? Am I Lillian Bloom from "The Menu"? No. Just a guy with a Yelp account, and time (plus restless fingers) on his hands. Final note: they start at a "large" 17oz variant... so you know it's going to be a good time! I wasn't even halfway through, and it was already a party! I have work tomorrow you glorious people! After my recent taco craze, I saw the Enchiladas de Mole on the menu, and they immediately called out to me. Kind of like in Harry Potter, Olivander says "the wand chooses the wizard," well, the meal chooses [me]. At my server's suggestion, I ordered them with chicken. I think I have made Mole once before, and it didn't work for me, yet I was very hopeful. Trying the sauce on the tines of my fork, I immediately knew I made the right call. A little sweet, a light kick, and a divine savoriness! Chicken filling is tender as can be, I think the tiny bit of salt it is seasoned with is all it needs. Like with the margarita, simplicity done right. The rice was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Though the refried beans surprised me! These seemed homemade, and were creamy if that makes sense! I might even ask for seconds! I gloriously 'licked' (with fork and rice) the plate clean. If you see me here tomorrow, don't be surprised! The service was also fantastic! Quick, attentive, personable, friendly - what great service should be! Where it comes to prices, these are in-line with what I expect from Chicago, however this is just numbers. A drink with the strength of three and Enchiladas God eats at least weekly, the value to second-to-none. To keep Yelp happy: I loved their vibe as well! There is plenty of room, the decor is tasteful and not overdone, and clean of course. Dude... come here already!! read more

Susupuato is my favorite Mexican restaurant on the Northside! It is rare to find a place that makes delicious margaritas and food. For over a year I had been wanting to check Susupuato off my list and I regret waiting so long to visit. I have been to the restaurant at least five times since my first visit! The food is never disappointing nor the margaritas anytime I have been. The staff is very nice. I have visited with different people and they always greet us with a friendly smile. If you aren't sure what dish to order or margarita to purchase they also have a recommendation. The inside of the restaurant is very spacious and can accommodate a variety of sizes. Anytime I have visited there have been ample seats available so I rarely have to wait to be seated. I really like the music, it is normally the top songs of different years so I always find myself nodding along to the music. Be forewarned that the food is on the middle to higher end but you easily can get two meals from your order. I normally am able to get two or two and a half meals. My go to dish is the chimichanga meal with steak. The chimichanga is massive and delicious! The frozen margarita is unbelievable! Anytime I recommend Susupuato i rave about the drinks. They are just the right amount of strong and actually taste like the fruit. My go-to flavor is the frozen mixed berry and I will do on the rocks if I do not feel like going the frozen route but I rarely don't want the frozen option! Do not hesitant to visit Susupuato like I did! read more

Such a great spot for awesome Mexican food and great margaritas! Our server was fantastic and he made some great recommendations. Their mole is amazing! read more

My partner moved to Edgewater and Susupuato has been our favorite Mexican take-out for the last couple of years. We finally experienced their dine-in experience and it lives up to all of the great reviews here! Margaritas were outstanding, I had a classic on the rocks while she had a strawberry blended. Guacamole was fresh and tasty with chips and salsa appetizer. She had her favorite chicken enchiladas mole while I had my fave, their chiles rellenos. Susupuato is definitely the place to be, if you are in Edgewater or nearby (Loyola, Uptown, Rogers Park, Evanston)! read more

The food and drinks were soooo good and Tony is so so kind!!!! I am so happy I went, and will be coming back!!!!! Thank you, Tony!

This is a fantastic Mexican restaurant on the Northside! It's my go-to and Tony makes you feel like family. From the second time I went he already remembered me and the third he knew what my favorite order is. I've tried different things on the menu - all delicious - but I can't stray from the mole enchiladas. They're the best!! Ask for extra mole sauce, you can never have too much! The margaritas are plentiful and strong, just like I like them. This place is the real deal, do not pass it by! read more

Heavenly cuisine. Good service. Nice decor. Ive filled all of the boxes yelp. What else can be said?5 stars

The food is DELICIOUS! I've had a bit of everything off the menu and nothing had disappointed me. The service is INCREDIBLE and so very friendly! I've had Tobias and Antonio as my servers and they always make me feel special and welcomed. The music is good and not too loud and the ambiance is just so amazing and a vibe. Overall this place has become my favorite place to eat EVER and I've traveled all over. read more

We are so very lucky to have this place in our neighborhood. we've been going here for a couple of years now and we've literally not had one bad piece of anything at this restaurant. Everything there is made with such love and care and precision. It's amazing. Plus the staff including the owner Tony, are always so kind. Really makes you feel like home. As far as specific recommendations I was always someone who never cared for molé, but Tony asked me to try it the first time we were there and I got hooked. It's the perfect recipe for Molé. Not too chocolatey just a little bit spicy, very smooth. I also highly recommend the tostadas. read more

After a year of sedentary living, I have slowly reintroduced myself to the gym. And although I have been cooking at home so to maintain my discipline with being a pescatarian, there are times when I have started ordering for takeaway. However, while in Chicago's Edgewater buying Ethiopian spices for recipes, I stopped by a Mexican restaurant on the way home. Susupuato Restaurant and Taqueria at 6161 N. Broadway Avenue was just what I needed. I ordered guacamole with chips and a platter of fish tacos with Spanish rice and refried beans. First to the table were complementary chips with salsa. Unlike most salsa, this was not of the chunky variety. There still was flavor in each bite. Then there was a soup on the house, which was a tomato based soup that had noodles and cilantro in it. The guacamole was a plus. It wasn't salty, like I've had at a few taquerias, and there was a fair enough amount of cilantro in it to give it a flavorful boost. Loved every bit of the fish tacos. The chef chopped up the tilapia, so they were not whole pieces. The butter, onions, tomatoes, and chipotle sauce in the recipe really kicked them up a notch. Topped with avocado slices, they will be my "go to" tacos for when I return. The Spanish rice and refried beans were seasoned just right, not bland, and not salty. Because of COVID, there may be more takeaway and delivery than in-house dining. Nevertheless, whatever you buy is worth it, if you like a little authenticity in your Mexican dining rather than something bordering on fast food. Add to that good service, I will certainly stop in again next time I am in Edgewater and want something before heading to my next destination. read more

Susupuato Restaurant - a plate of mexican food - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Best Mexican in Edgewater. It is sooo good. Nothing you get here are you going to dislike. We got fajitas and the mole cheese enchiladas. Both were to die for!!! A bit pricey but worth it. The service is like a fine dining place with attention and kindness. We got a shot of tequila on the house and a bowl of soup! Also you have to get a margarita, you cannot taste the alcohol, and it isn't watery at all!! read more

Susupuato has been great every time I've been! Tony is the best and the food never disappoints!

I believe this is the third time I'm reviewing this place, because it is that amazing. I've been dining here for years, and it is consistent every time. The food is authentic, delicious, and well worth the money. The service is top notch, and it's cute and cozy. I tried their "bistec a la mexicana" and I left very happy. read more

Susupuato Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We wanted to try Susupuato for some time because of their good reviews. I chose the Burrito Suizo with ground beef and my friend ordered three steak tacos and later ordered a side of rice & beans. Rice & beans are included with the Taco Dinner but not the Burrito. The burrito was really good with lots of melted cheese on top with a good red sauce (you can have green too). I liked the rice. It had a well balanced spice taste, on the other hand the beans were flavorless. She said that her Steak Tacos were good too. Here comes the confusion and the quirks. Most Mexican restaurants have Salsa on the table or at the very least you can order it, but they didn't have it available either way. Another thing I thought odd was you have to pay extra for flour tortillas, usually you have a choice of corn or flour but not a $1.00 up charge for flour tortillas. They don't have Tostados on the menu, I thought that was strange. They don't have Iced Tea. The day we went there was in the mid-90s, I couldn't understand why they didn't have Iced Tea. The online menu, the restaurant menu and your bill didn't match prices. The Burrito Suizo was $13.50 online, $13.00 on the restaurant menu and my bill had $15.00 plus $6.00 for an order of rice & beans, I think that's a little steep. If you read one of the past Yelp reviews it shows a Burrito Suizo with the rice & beans on the same plate. I was going by that photo but found out there was an extra charge. I would definitely go back but use the restaurant menu for prices, it seems to be the least amount. Our waitress was quite knowledgeable with the menu and was very nice and attentive. read more

We were pleasantly surprised visiting Susupuato. Unassuming on the outside, the inside decor is bright and festive. The service is quick and oh so welcoming. We tried the mole, which was rich and scrumptious. The guacamole was fresh and vibrant. Antonio, the server, made us feel at home and well fed. The restaurant serves up delicious food at great value! read more

I have to say that the Mole at Susupuato is one of the best we ever had very much home made. My wife and son ordered the chicken enchiladas in mole and they finish them all, I was suprised to see my wife finished her plate since she is very picky on what to eat. This Restaurant is my sons favorite spot in the north side to eat Mexican food. I ordered the chicken tacos and they where good I put a little Mole on my tacos and they where indeed delicious. the margaritas are also great. We will make this our favorite spot to eat Mexican food. Thank you Tony for the great food. read more

First of all, the food is delish but if you are looking for the best margaritas in the city, this is the place. They are big and strong and beyond scrumptious. Tony is the best server! He has become the highlight (other than the margs) of our time here. Whenever we have a family milestone or celebration, this is our go-to. There is NOTHING on the menu we don't like! Put it on your list of places to try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Susupuato Restaurant - Blueberry pomegranate margarita on the rocks! - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I was really on the border of a 3 or a 4. Their Covid spacing of tables, offering a mask to a customer picking up a to go order incase he needed to go anywhere else and friendly service made it a 4. A couple things to note. The website on Yelp is not up to date. I have attached the menu to this review for folks. This place is pretty good if your in the mood for Mexican dishes. We got the chicken enchilada and chicken tamales with the green sauce and both were good but not the best we've had. The two dishes and one frozen marg with tip got us to about 60 bucks which is higher then I would have thought it should be both for the amount of food and quality. They do give you some chips and salsa for free which is nice but it comes with this tiny salsa dish and spoon to get it on the chips. If management is reading this consider a bigger salsa dish and may be a chunkier salsa or pico. Service was on point and felt safe with the table spacing. We will be back. read more

Susupuato Restaurant - Taco Dinner (Steak) - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Amazing place. Have had numerous great times here for celebrations, birthdays, dates, and ordering online for delivery. The restaurant is welcoming, beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. The owner and staff are so awesome and friendly. But the star of the experience is the food. Best molè in Chicago, hands down. While the menu may not be pages and pages long like some of the more "tourist trap" Mexican restaurants, what this place offers is perfectly made, generously portioned, and ultimately and most important, delicious. Their margaritas are huge, by the glass or by the pitcher, and come in around 16 different flavors. But don't worry if you are a traditionalist, there is the classic margarita to satisfy as well. Their molè is made by hand by a special woman who comes in once a week and makes it all from scratch. Once it is gone, you gotta wait for her next visit for more. And it is certainly worth the wait. A hidden gem in the Edgewater neighborhood, but so valuable to those of us who have discovered it. read more

They charge $4 for chips & salsa now. $18 for a Paloma. The decor & atmosphere don't match those prices. Enchiladas Suizas were forgettable. Mole tasted nice. I give it a pass. read more

We are assuming that the restaurant is taking a holiday break, today is New Year's Day but we called last week on Thursday 12/28 and no answer on the telephone and while walking past on another errand, no signs indicating that they are away. While you are here, please take note of their telephone number since it isn't on their own website (also they still list chiles rellenos, which are no longer offered sadly). read more

The best authentic food I've ever had outside from my motherland. The owner Antonio is so wonderful, he took the time to get to know us, so it's always a pleasure to go back. Their Margaritas are a no brainer with so many flavors to choose from. read more

Susupuato Restaurant - Watermelon Margarita! - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Mexican restaurants, what comes to mind? Yup, the greatest hits such as guacamole, tacos, burritos, chilies relllenos and fajitas. That is why we usually go. We stopped by Susupuato on a chilly evening. Unlike the outside, the insight is bright and welcoming. The person there was excellent in welcoming us and giving us a rundown of the menu. We ordered steak fajitas, rice and beans. He brought over a complimentary sopa de fideo along with chips and salsa. The fajitas was enough for two people. Overall it was solid cooking at a reasonable price. Come on over and give this place a try. Excellent service, nice environment and good food. read more

If you're looking for great authentic Mexican food, strong drinks and a great time I highly suggest checking out El Pulpo Loco. Took my family there for my last night visiting in Chicago and I'm happy I ended my trip on a high note. Service was 5 stars, as was the food. I know it might be off to mention but bathrooms were spotless as well. Next time I'm visiting Chicago I'll be coming back! read more
