    Sunday's are a good time to go bc it's 1/2 off tequila and tacos for people in the industry. It starts getting fun at midnight. The margaritas were good & there are lots of tequilas to taste.

    What are you trying to prove?!? We are not little people with small appetites! We are real people with big appetites! Feed me real people food! Other than that great place and great drinks!

    ¡Ay Chiwowa! is a cool spot. Tell Emidio I sent you. He hooked me up with a shot of a barrel aged top shelf tequila. Half Acre - Daisy Cutter Pale Ale FTW!

    The jalapeno strawberry margarita is pretty awesome. It's a tapas style place so small portions are kind of the deal, but it would be cool if they had more diversity in their small plates

    Food tastes great but beware of child sized portions. Come hungry, leave hungry. Impressive tequila list.

    Its really just an okay spot with over priced food and drinks. You can definitely find better places to enjoy cheaper and better food in Chicago.

    Billy beerita is awesome. Sadly, the food is super super small and overly priced. Eat before you go there.
