Chicago TribuneJanuary 28, 2015Order the chorizo rellenos: two massive, roasted poblano peppers that are stuffed with savory chorizo and melted cheese, then fried and doused with a chipotle-tomato sauce. Read more
Roo CouncilSeptember 30, 2013Friendly, attentive service! Nacho appetizer was a celebration of flavor! Skirt Steak dinner was amazingly flavorful! This quaint spot is certainly a hidden gem in the Edgewater community. 5 stars
Kevin OldenstedtMarch 22, 2013If you don't order the Cochinita Pibil we will never really be friends because the CP is amazing! Also, you should spend your evening drinking margaritas & talking loudly about Boocockee.
Kerry NevelAugust 14, 2013Best cheap brunch in town! Every Sunday they have a $10 all u can eat Mexican breakfast brunch, and its $2 for kids! Food is quality, service is friendly and their margarita is great. Go!
Cheap strong margs and unbeatable food. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu here! Staff is always friendly! Lots of regulars from the neighborhood.
Time Out ChicagoAugust 2, 2014The name evokes unknown taco stands and birreria shacks, so it took a second to get acclimated to this contemporary Edgewater restaurant. Read more- Tom TuohyJune 21, 2012Ah don't mind the complainers. This is authentic, laid back and fantastic. Get the guacamole and fish tacos with a couple of Pacificos
Kaley KellenburgerNovember 2, 2014Made at table guacamole and burritos are amazing. Great tequila selection too!
Brittany NicoleAugust 30, 2014A little on the expensive side for Mexican joints but the margaritas are great and so is the food
I highly suggest the Hussong Tequila for your margarita. It's the best in the city of Chicago.
- Adam Scott SmithApril 21, 2015Hey That Little Mexican Café, you should join Freebie! The benefits are amazing for both you and me. Read more
Gervis CashAugust 2, 2015This place is atrocious. Terrible food. Horrendous service. Took 15 minutes after we sat down to get the attention of any waitress. Waited 40 minutes for a small order that was terrible. Do. Not. Go.
Lisa OrtaleSeptember 18, 2011Get the guac and the margaritas! Keep the price down by splitting the fajitas, there's enough for 2.
If you want a non-alcoholic drink get a lemonade. They are made fresh and taste amazing
Sana R.April 5, 2011Did not receive great service here. A bit disappointed. I'll just keep going to the Evanston location.. I could always use a delicious margarita!
I've never actually tried, just drinks after work, Reuben the best bartender.
The Best Margaritas in the North side of Chicago! THE BEST !!!
Gregory RussellJanuary 28, 2012First time here and Service was Terrible. Our server just kept disappearing and the woman preparing the guacamole was very rude. Other than that, food is delicious! Maybe it's an off night for them :)
- I was knocked out of mayor here before and I will be back as mayor again !
Julio antonio HernandezJuly 8, 2012Good food since your so close stop over at salon echo .... julio is amazing !!
ZBFebruary 5, 2012Knew there was a reason this place is empty most of the time...and these reviews let me know why. Thanks
Best staff ever!! Try the new Acai Mojito made with VeeV...delicious!
Used to be better, but still a decent place to eat. What do you expect, Rick Bayless? Now, shut up and drink your margarita.
Shane RoachAugust 24, 2013I was not impressed. No flavor, even tho we asked for everything spicy - this place lacked everything I love about Mexican cuisine .
Michelle sevigApril 11, 2012So far bad experience. Not crowded, but I've had to go to the waiter 3x to ask for what we need.
I really want to like this restaurant. I really do. But an hour wait after ordering tacos is simply too too long. So long TLMC.
Good drinks and appetizers - including the guacamole. The entrees are hit or miss.
Eric TiggerSeptember 15, 2011Service was very good.. Food is a bit underwhelming. I think it may be mexican geared torwards gringos
Dustin McQuaryJanuary 23, 2013Overpriced bland gringo food. Poor. They should switch their slogan around to where you peso much...and get so little.
Joe E.March 12, 2011Rough. I used to love tlmc. This week? Drinks watered down heavily, food has gone up in $$, and guacamole was not fresh. Total bummer. And they could turn around business easily....

"Their food is very tasty for a very reasonable price. Service is friendly and fast. Cons is that they only accept cash. Other than that is the perfect place to digest a delicious fast meal."
