Had great stuff at this Mexican restaurant in Oak Lawn. It certainly is very casual but there's…read morestill a touch of classiness going on. La Cocina De Mama is one of the popular places to drink and eat along this particular stretch. Far from authentic. They focus more on look and taste. Came in and got seats at the bar. It's often crowded and this time was no exception. There was a wait for a table. Of course cocktails. We got a couple of these. It's about $13 for a margarita. The Cucumber Margarita is great stuff. It's about $12 for a burrito. Menu has a good amount to choose from. I got the Vegetariano Burrito. This has beans, cheese which I left off, lettuce, rice, and tomatoes. Filling. There's even more items if looking. Great stuff to drink and eat. It's located on 95th Street at Massasoit. There's a few things for vegetarians.

This is our first time at this establishment. It is located along the busy corridor of 95th street…read moreand we decided to come here for dinner. We arrived around 4 pm and there was about a 25 minute wait. It is cozy so there were people waiting outside. The decor is more modern than traditional. They have a bar and TVs. Staff are warm and friendly and our server was Dulce. It was a busy day yet she would periodically check in to see how we were doing. We ordered the table side guacamole. It was made fresh at our table and hubby added a little more salt to it. We were also served a small bowl of salsa.The chips are warm and fresh. Hubby ordered the combo fajitas and a strawberry margarita. I ordered the steak enchiladas rojas and a pina colada. Everything was seasoned well and we enjoyed our meals. Kudos to the bartender for making great drinks!

I was looking forward to trying this restaurant, and we finally found time to make our way out to…read moreOak Lawn. We started with the Corn Ribs ($12). They were fine, but pretty unremarkable. I got the Fish Dinner Tacos ($25), and my husband got Flautas de Papa ($18). I was eyeballing their Pozole or Menudo but didn't really want to pay $22 for a bowl of soup. Everything on the menu just felt too expensive, especially for being in a casual atmosphere outside the city. Quesadilla La Reina del Sur has a plethora of vegan tacos you can get for like $4 each. I was in the mood for dessert, but even something as simple as 2 cookies with milk would be $24, so we went elsewhere. The food was fine, and the service was fairly attentive, but nothing blew me out of the water for these prices. They also added a 3.5% fee to the bill.

I loved that we were given some recommendations on favorite dishes. -The vegan calamari (made with cocunut meat) was perfect: breaded just right and crisp. -The Fresca (watermelon & cayenne ) was perfect. 3.5 stars for: Our main entrees lacked seasoning. I was really surprised by this. Both of our dishes were extremely light on any seasoning. We both decided to take the rest home to add some garlic/ chiles/ sea salt ... maybe?However the presentation was appealing, food tasted really fresh and cooked right. We spent approx $160... that's including the 20 % tip and tax.

Owner never listened to people's suggestions. The forced 20% top really lost people's interest from…read morethe start and he saw the hundreds of comments about it on Facebook. I know it's meant to keep the rift raft out but it also kept people like me out. I have this place two chances and got a burger both times. The food was not good and for the prices they charge it was insanity. In that location you can't charge $47 for seafood and with low volume you're going to have high food waste. Location is so important and you're tucked away next to a nursing home and shawarma place. Francesca is successful because the brand, the amazing food and the non mandatory tip. People talked, nobody listened. I feel like Nick wanted to be more about "his community" and "his staff" more than about himself. And that's a failure we see in a lot of episodes of Hell's Kitchen and restaurant impossible. When the ship is sinking you need to take drastic steps to stay afloat like fire the lazy fucks, hire real cooks and not illegals who can't cook a basic cheese burger, advertise deals and specials nonstop on Facebook and neighboring city pages. Shit, give a "relaunch" day to let residents try the menu at discounted rates. There's a beautiful bar but I never saw a wristband deal or bears game cookout. I'd definitely go there with a group to drink outside but never heard anything about it and it was probably $9 for a white claw knowing their prices. But who knows it was never advertised. Service was crap both times. There were 2 tables and the black servers sat at a booth on their phone. They could be cleaning or advertising on their own social media but nah. Just milk off the owner like a lot of shitty employees do.

A lot of great stuff to get. The healthier choices are highlighted. Checked the menu and got a couple cocktails. It's about $11 to get one. The one I had was the Liquid Sunshine. A lot of big flavor. This is made with peach schnapps. A lot of the classic breakfast food. It's about $6 for the cheapest breakfast items. Classics. I got the Avocado Toast. Came on two pieces of bread. This is topped with garlic, pickled radish, and red onions. She got the Quinoa Breakfast Bowl. This is a mixture of quinoa sautéed with cauliflower, green harissa, poblanos, and spinach, topped with cucumbers, egg, feta, and tomatoes. A big thing at breakfast. There's also paninis. Has a lot to get at breakfast. It's also open for lunch with options like sandwiches . They're closed Tuesdays.

This was my second time visiting this restaurant. Ever since my first visit, I cannot stop thinking…read moreabout the great food and knew I had to stop by when I was back in town. The place is very busy so parking can be a bit hard to find but they do have an overflow lot. Inside, they have a seating area where you can wait until you're seated at a table. Both times I've been there the wait time was around 20-30 minutes but trust me, the food is worth the wait. Even though they were busy, our server was attentive and the food didn't take too long to come out. I went with a group and for our appetizer we tried the platter that comes with hummus, baba ganoush, grape leaves, and fresh pita bread. For my drink, I had the lemon mint smoothie...very refreshing. The plates that my husband and I got were the chicken shawarma sandwich with a salad and the filet plate that comes with rice as well as grilled tomato and grilled onion. They give you generous portions which made it possible for me to share some of my meal with someone in my group to try and I still had leftovers. Finally, we could not leave without having dessert. We had knafeh which is made fresh. Everything was amazing and I can't wait to come back next time I visit the Chicagoland area.

Great location with an open and bright space. I had the corned beef hash with eggs and hash browns…read more On this side, I had pancakes with blueberries added. I felt the entire meal was just OK. The corned beef hash was crumbly and though I was told it was made in house, it didn't seem like it. The hash browns and eggs were cooked fine but lacked seasoning. The pancakes were too thick and even though I paid $3.50 more for blueberries, they were hard to find within the actual pancake. The majority of blueberries were placed on top or around the pancakes. My sister's banana foster French toast was the best thing I tasted, so kudos to the cook for that dish. Otherwise, everything else we felt was just average and the prices were above average. My son's strawberry lemonade was $6, and it was fountain lemonade with a strawberry puree syrup added to the glass. Everything added up quickly to $100 for three of us so watch what you order and add on to your meal. I wouldn't return but it was a nice place aesthetically and location-wise. Also, our server Erica was quite pleasant and attentive.
