From beginning to end this date night dining experience was more like a small dinner party with friends. Beth and Poncho were the supreme hosts as my boyfriend and I dined at the bar. Great Latin vibes and urban ambiance, especially for a Southside venue tucked into the Evergreen Park area. We had the carne empanadas with the most memorable chimichuri and pickled onions. The ropa veija was a very tasty and slow roasted beef starter, next time I will ask for chips or tortillas to accompany it. Of course we had to try the Mamas tacos, only served Tues-Thurs, and what a delight they were but the wow factor was the rice that accompanied the entree. The bone in pork chop entree was juicy and OMG the bacon mash was amazing. I suggest getting a side of the fresh made, textured guacamole and the habanero salsa to enhance any dish. Lastly, the cocktails were crafted perfectly to pair with any dish. The variety of margaritas were phenomenal, we tried a few! Bonus was the hand squeezed sour mix and vested interest in the quality of all the cocktails' ingredients. If you like fake sugar and umbrellas, these cocktails may not be for you, so I suggest the IPA from a local brewery they carry or a glass of wine, they have a very eclectic list. The best part of this experience was the culture of the restaurant. Everyone was available to assist the guests and engaged us with such zeal about the menu and they were personable, not robotic order takers. I will definitely be back! Also note, appetizers came out promptly, as they should, however entrees were a bit delayed, AS THEY SHOULD. Allowed for ample time to enjoy and digest the flavors of the starters and order another cocktail while we conversed. Timing really is everything! read more

Let me start by saying the food is super delicious. I would have given the location 5 stars if the portion size was larger. Meaning, I shouldn't pay $9 for the Salsa Trio and only get 1 small bowl of chips. We had so much salsa left and no chips to eat it - without paying for a refill. Back to the rest of the amazing food. You must try the Elote Fritters. The elotes are shaped in a circle disc and lightly fried and topped with mayo, cotija cheese and tajin. We also ate the Carnita Empanadas, which has Coca-Cola braised pork shoulder. I ate the chicken enchiladas for the main entree. This has 3 small enchiladas that comes with flavorful rice and beans. Oh... the drinks! I tried the I Love Lucy. It has vodka, lime, strawberry puree and soda. The ingredients are simple, but the flavor was delicious and powerful. Unidad is a small dining location. There isn't a parking lot or valet, but there's a good amount of street parking; especially weeknights. It's best to make reservations through the website. I would definitely go back, possibly for happy hour and eat tacos. read more

It's a very clean and intimate setting on the inside. We wanted to sit outside but it was too cold. Once seated, we ordered drinks and noticed how service was severely delayed. We were finally able to order appetizers, and even that was slow to arrive. The Queso Fundido appetizer was delicious! I highly recommend it! I feel like Service would've been so much better if there was more than just one waiter for the entire dining room on a Saturday night! All customers seemed to be waiting for their food! Our reservation was at 7pm. The restaurant closes at 9pm. We didn't even have time to order entrees because everything was delayed (service and food) and we would basically be receiving entrées at the same time they close their doors. So we left and ended up grabbing food in the way home. Such a disappointing experience. read more

This is a Latin restaurant and bar located on 95th St., and Evergreen Park parking is available on the street as there is no designated parking lot. The restaurant is small on the inside and has a large patio for alfresco dining when it's warm outside. The menu selections are all small plates. They offer a happy hour during the week with lots of food and drink options. This restaurant gets five stars for customer service. The hostess and bar maids are amazing. The manager also checks in on food and service received while dining, if you're in the area stop by, you will not be disappointed read more

I ordered take out vegan tacos. Service was friendly. Cost was 20$ plus tax. The good: the ingredients were fresh, the beans and rice were delicious. The bad: the moisture from the veggies kind of made the tacos sloppy and messy. The guacamole was ok had so much lime I couldn't really taste the other ingredients in it. I might order from this place again. They do have great drinks so I'm sure I'll be back soon for a couple drinks. read more

1st time here and our server Laura was also new. Started with Housemade Guacamole. It was fresh but chips a tad oily. Corn fritters were delightful. Arepas were delicious. I had the beef and chicken. I was disappointed it didn't come with rice n beans but the plantains did suffice. The atmosphere is the selling point. Although tvs on at the bar and surround music throughout it was never too noisy. Fast service and steady flow of patrons. I will be back to try some of the other offerings. read more

While many local restaurants could not survive COVID, Unidad did and you'll see why if you eat here! Often these kind of Latin food places serve mediocre dishes just designed to go next to massive margaritas. Unidad is not that kind of place. The Latin inspired dishes feel like home cooked plates of real flavorful food. They don't skimp on spices or other flavors missing from many such upscale Latin places. The drinks pack a punch and are natural and fresh. You'll be back for sure! read more

I went here for my birthday dinner a few weeks back! Amazing atmosphere, great drinks & our waiter was so nice! Our favorite thing we ordered was the carnita Coca-Cola braised empanadas. My husband was blown away! I can't wait to dine in the outdoor area when the weather warms up. read more

We moved into the area a little over a year ago (from the city) and we were SO happy to have found Unidad. The suburbs aren't really known for their dining experiences, but unidad is a gem in the middle of chain restaurants. The food and the ambiance are so good! It's our new meeting spot with friends. My favorite have been the birria tacos. My husbands family is from Jalisco so he KNOWS birria. He also loves Unidad's tacos. The carnitas tacos are also delicious! The burger is great and the chicken flautas are good. The cocktails never disappoint us! They make a damn good cocktail at fair prices. The borracho is a hit and I love the gin & jam. During nicer weather, we also enjoy their patio. We're big Unidad fans and hope it sticks around for a long time. read more

The girls and I were at it again! Saturday Night Birthday Shenanigans! What's for dinner? UNIDAD! What's on the menu? Diablo Shrimp and Birria Tacos! You can't go wrong with great conversations and Latin Food. UNIDAD provides the atmosphere and space for both. You have to try the Diablo Shrimp! It's spicy with just enough kick to wake up your taste buds. Even the House Made Churros with ice cream and Dulce de Leche was the perfect dessert dish to cool down the heat of the shrimp! Although the churros were nice and warm:-) Our server was super nice and laughed at my jokes. He showed great customer service and kindness. He helped to make our dinner enjoyable and fun. I recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends, to try this restaurant. This is a great place to dine in Evergreen Park! read more

I have wanted to dine here a very long time I choose the patio area ,my friend doesn't like to be in crowded areas The happy hour choices have to be partaken of at the bar ! That was really absurd to us. We did not want to be in the bar crying around lots of people. It is COVID season still ! The menu was lacking ! Nothing we wanted was available Elotes no tacos unless we wanted shrimp neither if us eat shrimp tacos only served Tues thru Thursday ! But looking in their site it's says tacos We digress and ate vegetarian Empanadas and beef dish so underwhelmed I can't even remember the name We only shared 2 appetizers My friend got an hibiscus drink I must say this. I felt rushed the restaurant and the patio section. When we got there there was maybe only two other people and then a larger group came in. The guy just seemed like he was rushing us.Are you done? Can I give you the check? Are you done tapping us on the shoulder? Tapping us on the shoulder? Dude, like stop touching me ! I did read something about a 90-minute limit. We were there maybe an hour. It was nowhere near the 90 minutes. They were not busy and the constant harassment I did not like it I will not be back read more

Was a bit of a drive to get there from the burbs, but we were able to street park right in front of the restaurant. Small inside, but they do have covered outdoor seating too. We had reservations and opted to sit inside. The menu was a little different than what was posted online, but in a good way. Server was very friendly and helpful. Food was great. The only thing we had a long wait time on was our drinks. It was always about 20 mins from ordering to when they arrived. Had they been faster, we would have gotten more, but oh well. The owner stopped by at the end of our meal to greet us and sent a cocktail to the table for us to share. It was mighty tasty. read more

This place was so good! Perfect for a date night or just a dinner night out. Ordered the ej jefe margaritas which were a perfectly made drink. We went on Monday so the drink was $10, so why not have two! For appetizers we had the empanadas with chimichurri sauce, a perfect blend and the elote fritters, those are so good, wait until you hear the crunch. For dinner, I had the enchiladas de pollo. It was the perfect portion with a great spice, highly recommend. My husband had the birria tacos with delicious consome! Great place for a dinner night out ! All the staff was very friendly. read more

Very unexpected outdoor eating area for the area. It had north side Chicago vibes as it was both busy and modern. The margaritas were superb. We had the pork chop and tacos. Both were yummy. I went on a date and would recommend to anyone near or far for good food, ambiance and/or drinks at the bar. read more

Unidad is a favorite amongst residents of Evergreen Park, Oak Lawn, and surrounding towns. Known for creative and elevated takes on traditional Latin cuisine, It's easy to see why it's tough to find a seat here on a Thursday evening. Frequent live music performances, Taco Tuesday specials, happy hour, and guest chef appearances, all amount to a hot spot in an intimate space. The birria tacos recently debuted on the menu and have quickly become the standout favorite for me. The portion sizes for dishes see my best for the price point, and I wish the tortillas didn't fall apart with a standard tacos. Those small critiques are the only thing preventing me from a five star rating. Overall, I am giving UNIDAD a 4.5. Love it. read more

Love seeing more places like this on the Southside. Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. Came with 2 friends and split the guacamole- fresh and great starter. We all enjoyed our drinks as well. Extra points for having a vegan option on the menu for my best friend. She enjoyed the enmoladas! I had the diablo shrimp that had tons of flavor, tenderly cooked shrimp and a good kick of spice! Another friend enjoyed the guajillo chop which the waiter recommended. If you are super hungry I'd say maybe add another app to split as the entrees are smaller but I personally think well portioned! We sat inside but could hear the live music outside so would definitely consider coming back and sitting outside. read more

Looking for an amazing experience? Go to Unidad! The service was amazing- every person was so wonderful. The food was delicious- literally no one at our table was disappointed! The arepas were delicious, my 4 yo ate almost all of the carnitas tacos, my 2 yo ate almost all of the espaguetis verde (it was a special and it was BOMB) and my husband had the chicken enchiladas and ate all of it. (He can be picky, too) The drinks were delicious as well. He had the mezcal hibiscus margarita and we ended up taking a jar (4 drinks worth) home with us. Will definitely be back!! read more

My girlfriends and I had an amazing dining experience at Unidad. The atmosphere was very nice and the food was delicious; we started with empanadas, had birria tacos and fish tacos for entrees, and finished with tres leche for dessert. We received wonderful service from Laura, who made great recommendations, and Omar, the bartender, also made great recommendations and delicious drinks. i look forward to going back very soon. read more

Went for vday with my mister on a date nice atmosphere very romantic candles ! Service seemed a lil slow but there was only one waitress for the patio which was about 6 tables of people. Food was limited to there vday menu which was very pricey for the size but it was delicious. Waitress gave us complimentary dessert which was brown sugared plaintains with ice cream fire !! Amazing will try again full bar ---but no micheladas at a Latin restaurant? and only craft beers so they get a star taken away read more

I've been late in visiting this restaurant. I've read the reviews, listen to friends and neighbors and Finally choose to visit. Well upon entering we were greeted and seated , probably because it was early Monday evening. Anyway let's get to the appetizers and drinks. The table ordered beef empanadas , corn fritters, fried calamari, cod & yuca. Absolutely delicious, the empanadas had great flavor with a herb sauce, the calamari and cod was alittle salty but good and the elote fritters were amazing. My entree was risotto with a 6ox hanger steak. The risotto was delicious, creamy, perfectly prepared however my steak was chewy but had good flavor. The rest of the table had chicken tacos and enchiladas and they loved it. The drinks are addicting so be careful and are server was good. I must say, my eyesight isn't the best so I had to ask which door was the men's rest room because I couldn't determine which door it was. Maybe some additional lighting in the hallway would help (me). Besides that I'll definitely be back. Shout out the the village of evergreen park for another great restaurant. read more

Long story short. I had been longing to go here for a while. As a birthday treat I decided to take the plunge. I went for lunch on a Friday and came back to Saturday for an early dinner on the patio. Kelly was my waitress both days, she is awesome and knowledgable about the menu, its ingredients and how its prepared. Trust her she knows her stuff. I will be back for happy hour on the patio with gloves and an extra scarf just in case the heater takes a short break. ( LOL) Awesome place, street parking and a shared lot a few stores down. read more

I came on a Sunday night at 5p with a group of 7p based on the recommendation of a friend. This establishment from start to finish was fabulous. The host greeted me, sparked up natural small talk and truly made me feel at home. The drink selection was extensive but not overwhelming. I love old fashioneds and their spin on it is absolutely delicious. Everyone in my party enjoyed their meals and drinks which included the house margarita, the guac, the ropa Vieja, steak tacos, steak and asparagus and the red snapper which was on special. This place is definitely somewhere I will return to even if I am not in the immediate area. read more
