Dined in for the solar eclipse. Food and margarita pitchers were great. It’s a little pricey, but it’s Wicker Park so they’ve got to pay rent somehow

I love the take on this restaurant. The drink menu is bigger than the food menu and all food items are more than reasonably priced. There are a couple appetizer options and a lot of straight taco options. I was there with a group of 8 people so we ordered a bit of everything. I highly recommend the pitcher of margaritas, the queso sauce with the chips, and the walking taco, sooooo good. Very accommodating for a big party, great outdoor and half outdoor seating. The waiter seemed a little rushed and frustrated but I will chalk that up to just a busy or bad day

Went for a date night with my boyfriend the night and followed it up with some cocktails at The Violet Hour and everything was amazing! Great food, cocktails, and the bartender was stellar.

Great food, fast service, nice hospitality, chill vibes. One of the best patios in wicker park and dog friendly too! Reservations and walk-ins welcome.

I have been coming here for years with my family. No Barbacoa!! That was their signature dish! The carne asada was bland! Too much onion! Since when do you make carne asada with onions? Bring back your Barbacoa!

Awesome food and well priced drinks. The chicken taco was the best I’ve ever had.

Had a great experience, incredibly fast kitchen and bar service on top of friendly staff. Enough variety in the menu to give a lot of good options without feeling too overwhelming. Some good drink specials as well. We had gotten a gift card but for some reason never got the code that went with it. Manager was kind enough to take a picture of our receipt and sort it out later.
