- NNicoletteVIPChicago / Illinois •9 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe’ve been here several times and it’s always great! We’ve never had a time where the food taste different or not the same, this place is consistent. It’s is a bit pricey, but the quality is great. The drinks are average, more on the sugary side but not mad. Like you have to have a marg at some point! Service is quick and friendly. It’s a bit loud in there between the music and people, but when it’s almost 70 degrees in March then hey if you can’t beat em, join em.More infoCafe El TapatioPrice: Expensive• Mexican• Lakeview / East Lakeview•4.8

We had the chile relleno which was my personal favorite with the pepper perfectly stuffed with goat cheese. Fauntas which was my husbands favorite, were amazing. The barbacoa lamb shank was perfectly cooked. The ceviche came out in the most beautiful presentation.More infoCeibaPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Mexican• Lincoln Park•4.7
