- MMitchvipChicago / Illinois •14 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis is the second time we have eaten at Nativo. The service and food are excellent. The tableside guac is one of the best I have had. Wonderful experience in a locally owned establishment!More infoNativo Mexican cuisinePrice: Moderate• Mexican• Bannockburn•4.4
- BBudvipChicago / Illinois •58 reviews4.0Dined 6 days agoClearly has the most unique Mexican menu with a ton of variety you’ll ever experience. The support staff give you water as well as lots of chips and 2 types of salsa right away. Food quality is very good. Yet my lobster tostadas were not too flavorful. Their temperature was not hot neither, and extremely high priced for just two tostadas. My girlfriend enjoyed her dish very much. Offered excellent variety of margaritas. Both of ours were very flavorful. I got the North Shore. Our server was excellent. Yet, took awhile to get out margaritas. The kitchen delivers all food to table and took them forever to give us our tortilla soups. And he first brought them to the wrong table. I had to wave him down. Overall we enjoy going to Authentico, and we’ll go back.More infoAuthenticoPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Lake Forest•4.5
- LLindavipChicago / Illinois •9 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoFrom the hostess stand to our server Cesar and seeing the manager on duty walk the floor and oversee the front and back of operations it was such an incredible experience like I was back in the city! Great personal service and a sever who was a true professional and just “knew” what the guest needed. Thank YOU! To the manager who was not fazed by my spirited children THANK you for making me feel welcome and not judged. The food was very tasty and well prepared. If I was going to get back into hospitality, I’d apply here. Such an upstanding establishment and well trained. Thanks times 3. :)More infoBlanco Cocina + Cantina - Oak BrookPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Oak Brook•4.3

- AAlexandraChicago / Illinois •1 review4.0Dined on Oct 12, 2024Went on a Friday night and it was nice. Loved the seating and the beers were great. Food was okay and I think because it was slow the waiter was extremely attentive. Other than that it was a cool placeMore infoRavinia Brewing CompanyPrice: Moderate• Mexican / Southwestern• Logan Square•4.5
