Salmon Rostizado en Salsa Chipotle Mango was amazing! Melt in your mouth salmon and deliciously sweet. Carnitas Chipotle con Mango y Platano was equally amazing and very spicy . yummy margaritas !

If you're looking to meet some cool new people and try out El Nuevo Mexicano, they’ve luckily partnered with Grubwithus.com to host a social dinner on the first Wednesday of every month.

Beth Binkovitz

This is a great place for a date and the vegan offerings are awesome. There's a spicy vegan ice cream dessert , even.

John Souther

Margaritas , fajitas , enchiladas and steak tacos are all excellent.

Tyler Fisher

Al Pastor Enchiladas are ridiculously good. Some of the best Mexican I've had in Chicago

Matt Skallerud

Being from California, I do appreciate really good Mexican food ... dinner here was FANTASTIC! I had their special carne asada plate... it was to die for!

Bobby Kennedy

Cute place to dine in. Good food and great margaritas .

Emily S.

Good vegetarian options . Better than many Mexican restaurants in the area.

Linda Felter

Make sure to order the appetizer guacamole and not the side order unless you want this tiny size.

Dustin McQuary

Better than most anything I've had in Pilsen. As a native Texan, I'm a huge fan of their enchiladas .

Rob Yelvington

I loved the sweet component in the sauce for the enchiladas . I am a fan!

Jeff Meade

I like this place! Nice combination of contemporary presentation and traditional flavor . Well done!

Marty Erwin

I love the mole !!

Marty Erwin

Try the Chimichanga chocolate desert

Joe Dix

They have a beautiful outdoor patio during the summer.

Dev Dugal

Food was good, not great. Chicken fajitas cooked well with seasoning. Sodas were waaaay under carbonated. So basically syrup . PLUS - they don't honor their foursquare special after you check-in!

Emily Zider

Amazing Mexican food & the waiters are kind of adorable.

José Rodríguez

The food was good, but please note that they are NOT offering the foursquare free dessert special, despite it being listed and offered. Unfortunate practice on the restaurant 's part.

Mary Lohrman

Vegan and vegetarian options !

stephanie sposito

outstanding service & food. try the vegetarian combo . great value . good margaritas .

Kevin Dulin

Enchiladas are pretty standard. The Ceviche starter was not very good and came out after the entrees. The margaritas are good though.

John Mitchell

Great margaritas . They don't work with foursquare anymore, so no special...

Jackie Quintana

I just realized I never got the rest of my meal from this place! No tortillas , rice , or beans with my carnitas order. I'd kinda like my money back!

matthew gilboy

Leave room for the vegan desserts

Philip Powell

OMG This Place Is So Fun, Friendly , And Fantastic. I Love The Food And The Service. Thank You.

Great garden patio out back. Also great pairings of fish and fruit entrees. Nice atmosphere.

Chicken enchiladas in chipotle cream sauce is ridiculously good.

Without a doubt the best Margaritas in Chicago.

Vithida Sueblinvong

ISC Chicago

Friendly and helpful staff

Adam Twersky

Ask for the vegan menu

Richard B

Vegan stuff was good but they did not honor the foursquare special, which was kind of disappointing.

Randall Eierie

Not good at all, server (Benny) was on his phone the whole time, bad english, hard time communicating to him and him communicating to us. Slow service. :(

Megan Moriarty
