About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
Situated in the heart of Chicago’s West Loop, Cruz Blanca Brewpub combines craft beer craftsmanship with the warmth of Mexican hospitality. Our handcrafted, Mexican-inspired cervezas celebrate the spirit and flavors of Mexico, encompassing everything from Mexican-style lagers to tropical ales and barrel-aged specialties. Dive into our wood-fired taquería menu featuring ModMex tacos, Cali burritos generously stuffed with carne asada and crispy French fries, and show-stopping 14-inch tlayudas.

Cruz Blanca is where X marks the spot – at the intersection of Mexican spirit and American craft, tacos and cerveza, sunny vibes and genuine hospitality.

    It usually is a great place for an easy dinner but this time it took 45 minutes for our pitcher of margs to show up. It didn’t arrive until we were halfway done with dinner. The staff didn’t seem to care too much either which was disappointing.

    Food is always great here but the service was very slow. We stood at the hostess stand for a very long time while workers ignored us. When we were finally seated it took even longer for a server to come acknowledge us.
