What a fun vibe! My girlfriend and I were looking for a restaurant on a Monday night and ended up here after our architecture boat tour. There was live music, lit palm trees, and it had a fun beachy vibe. We ordered the Charolada de Mariscos and Langostinos, both were so good!! The sauce on both had so much flavor. The staff were all really friendly! Would definitely come back the next time I'm in Chicago.
Great food. I really liked how the place looks, it give next to the beach type of vibes.
We were driving home from an event looking for a place that was still open at 8 pm and drove past this brightly lit up restaurant so we made a U-turn and were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness, service and delicious food! The portions are huge and filled with flavor. We definitely needed to go boxes and the food tasted amazing even the next day. The green salsa is to die for! Sad we didn’t order a container to go, but will definitely be back. Seems like the summer time is a great time to visit given all the outdoor space they have.
