Margarita
Mark T.

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!!

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!

Margarita flavors

Service is outstanding. Food is consistently delicious. Margaritas are strong and there are so many flavors Tony, the owner loves his customers and it shows!! Customer service still exists!!!

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.

Chips con salsa

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.

(inquire about the 4% service charge added) No rice or beans with any of my parties' dishes, not sure if that is an option. Time to be seated was less than five minutes for a party of four around 2:20 PM on a Sunday; busier times or days enforce their 90 minute time limit policy per table. The food was well seasoned, wish I tasted it a little more on the meat itself, yet all the vegetables tasted crisp and fresh. If you are looking to have intimate conversations be prepared to speak a lot louder, the DJ booth by the front keeps it pretty lively, but difficult to hold conversations across the table. Open authentic Mexican soda is always refreshing, and if you're looking for a place that has soft serve margaritas this is one of them. If you notice and unusual wait time or slow service please make your choice accordingly as I started to notice it was a case by case basis like some of the previous reviews had mentioned.

We got the mixed shrimp and steak fajita as the fajita Friday would give us a $5 discount. The fajita gives you a great fire show! However, if we didn't catch the server prepare the first few seconds, we would've missed it, so a heads up would've been appreciated. It felt a bit rushed. The steak and shrimp were solid but for $33 before tax and tip, it is a bit steep. However, the amount of food is good enough for 2 people for a light satisfying meal. I docked off a few stars because while the food is good, service really needs improvement. We had no utensils for 15 minutes. We had to flag the server a few times, nowhere to be found. They didn't even end up discounting the $5 and with how hard it is to get attention from a server, I had to force to leave no tip in the end to make up for the difference, in addition to the very poor service. For near closing when it's not busy, it's not acceptable to not be attended to during the dining service especially we had to leave the food cold waiting for utensils to even start eating.

I must admit that I had low expectations because quite frankly, I have not enjoyed Mexican food outside of Mexico or California. However, we were hungry, and it was near where we were staying, so I decided we should check it out, and I am so glad we did! The food was great. Both adults and the VERY picky children in our group all enjoyed our meals. I ordered the green chicken enchiladas and the other adult ordered a chile relleno combo, which I also got to try. Everything was delicious and devoured by all! We were so full but the owner talked us into the chocoflan, and we did not regret trying it. It was soooo good! Speaking of the owner, the service was great. We really enjoyed how he and the rest of the staff were very courteous. It is a small establishment, and it gets a good amount of people, so I assume that there are waits during peak hours. I highly recommend Sabroso! And we plan to return the next time we are in the area.
