    Dined for the first time this week after moving into the area from downtown. The food was very good and interesting flavors - every bit as good as downtown Chicago. Service was outstanding by all the staff - water glasses seemed to be filled after every drink.

    My favorite restaurant on the North Shore. Inventive and delicious fine Mexican cuisine and fantastic service. They also do a great job of catering to my wife's challenging dietary restrictions.

    Another fabulous meal for us at Libertad! It was Cinco de Mayo and we enjoyed some delicious hand-made tortilla tacos, beans and rice -which never disappoint. Everything was beautifully presented by the attentive and friendly wait staff. My margarita was so yummy I just had to have another. Definitely returning soon to try all the other tempting dishes on their menu!
