Kim KortAugust 8, 2012Start with an array of appetizers to share. The gambas al mojo de ajo (shrimp with sweet garlic sauce) is my favorite entree, and I'm not even a shrimp person! Order it, and leave room for dessert.
Chicago TribuneJune 22, 2012Try the mango and pear tart with the wonderful sweet pastry crust, crumbly almond topping, fresh fruit filling and exquisite dollop of house-made cajeta (caramel) ice cream! Read more
Time Out ChicagoJanuary 24, 2012One bite of this candy-red sauce and I’m almost convinced it’s prime tomato season. Another bite of perfect black beans, tender tortillas and over-easy eggs and I know it’s just prime ¡Salpicon! Read more
Rob KJune 22, 2015Excellent menu with great options for sharing. Nice tequila selection and excellent margaritas. Service was attentive and friendly.
Sarah ElderJuly 4, 2014Presentation is gorgeous. Flavor is underwhelming. Outstanding place for drinks- both tequila flights and the house margaritas!! But you wouldn't miss the food.
Marie SillsJune 26, 2013I've been a regular customer to Salpicon since it opened. The food is amazing. Service was great - very responsive!
Mike WiseJune 20, 2014Wild Copper River salmon with mango tequila sauce and tequila sorbet. What more can I say?- Alexis HughesJune 27, 2013Great food; great service; great suggestions by servers, on food and on tequila for margaritas. Cheers!!!
ISC ChicagoFebruary 8, 2015Restaurant Week: if you have never been, here's your chance. Reservation's a must.- Beatrice ThigpenJuly 5, 2013Jaime makes the best margaritas ever! Jose is SO good. Love this place. I dream about chef Priscila's food
Chicago magazineMay 8, 2012The jumbo blue crab cake with avocado-tomatillo-habanero salsa reminds us why this spot is a longtime Chicago standout. Read more
Eddie RevisMay 29, 2011Filet was incredible! Just the right amount of spice and heat. A little pushy with the drink menu, but one margarita is worth it.- ISC ChicagoFebruary 22, 2012Absolutely the best Mexican restaurant in town. Ask for the sorbet even if you don't see it on the menu.
Jan AguMarch 26, 2012Try the Trio Pina - Vanilla roasted pineapple with pineapple sorbet and pineapple crisp - delicioso!!!
Benjamin BlackmerJune 21, 2014Somm is studying for the master somm test. Watch the Somm documentary and then go chat with her about wine.
Kevin DulinJuly 11, 2011If your lucky enough to go when the Salmón Tropicale is a special, get it!! The rack of lamb is also amazing!!!
Chris BroylesSeptember 27, 2011Amazing WINE list of all things, as well as perfect margarita pairings Read more
Chinaco margarita on the rocks with salt. Seviche as app. Camarones al mojo de ajo for main.
