De Cero Reviews
Margaritas and salsa have great variations. Almost everything is spicy tho. Food quality was average relative to the surrounding area.

Come to De Cero Taqueria and ask for Pueblo Viejo Tequila.
by Pueblo Viejo Tequila C
The steak and fish tacos are delicious! And the margaritas are delightful!
by Rashaunda T.
Really great margaritas and their guacamole was amazing! Different types of guac. Really easy to eat vegan and vegetarian at.
by Madeline Gullett
Construction should have gone into the deconstructed chips and salsa. However, everything following was amazing. The pork tacos were fantastic as well as the Peruvian Margarita. Two thumbs up!
by Josh E
Great tacos! Get the "Plato" if you are sharing.. $30 for 8 tacos. Shrimp, mahimahi, and duck tacos were amazing... Carnitas was good too. Doooo it!
by Weilyn
The Easter colors reflect in a Margarita mixed with Pueblo Viejo. Get yours here at De Cero Taqueria!
by Pueblo Viejo Tequila C
If you want to freshen up with a delicious cocktail at De Cero Tequila, try a Paloma mixed with Pueblo Viejo Blanco.
by Pueblo Viejo Tequila C
Come to De Cero and say hello to some of the best tacos and margaritas in Chicago. I recommend the al pastor taco and the pineapple-jalapeño margarita. Ole!
by @scottkleinberg
If you are in De Cero Taqueria, try a Margarita with Pueblo Viejo Blanco.
by Pueblo Viejo Tequila C
Food is great. The service is rather lackluster and leaves much to be desired.

by AJ W.
Bar service was incredible. Really great staff and even better food!
by George Kilbert
If you're a cucumber fan like me, the Cucumber margarita does not disappoint! Served with a chile rim. The horchata is also delish--not too sweet and just the right touch of cinnamon 😋
by isela
Rice with pinto beans were amazing and try the chipotle chicken taco & brownie....just eat there Lol.
by Kenji
Just tried the mango habanero salsa. Has a pretty good kick to it and great flavor!
by Andy Gorczyca
The Catfish Taco is irresistible, but for the vegetarians, try the Avocado Taco!
by Alice
Skirt steak taco was amazing!
by Chelsea N
I always want to like De Cero more than I do, but...the food just isn't that great. Nevertheless, it's a good place for groups, and the food is fine. Head elsewhere if taste is your priority.
by Rachel
Battered shrimp taco is really good.
by Rohan M
I really like this place. The tacos are smaller, but delicious. Also an awesome variety. The duck nachos are the balls. Get them.
by Michael B.
Get a bunch of different tacos. I'd rank this place second to Big Star in this style.
by Scott R.
The catfish tacos here are my favorite fish tacos I've come across in the city.
by Jillian O.
You can't go wrong with the diverse taco menu. Don't skip the Tomatillo Lime Verde and Mango Habanero salsas!
by Anthony H.
With an impressive selection of tequilas, and some fantastic small plates and entrees to share, you will feel like you just took a spontaneous trip to Mexico for the night.
by AFAR Media
The margaritas are great and so are the nachos!
by Melanie S.
I'm not a big taco person but De cero definitely made me a taco lover! Everything I tasted was exquisite! You must try the chocolate flourless cake!!!!!
by Estephanie E.
Go for the seafood tacos. Shrimp + catfish.

Goat cheese tamales are a must. The margaritas are also very inventive: the lime & ginger is superb.

Service on a Wednesday night was abysmal.
by Matthew M.

by Sheen
Duck confit tacos were delicious
by Héctor G.
Spiciest burrito I've ever had! Not for the faint of heart.
by Tony P.
Anything with mushrooms is out of this world. I had both the taco and the quesadilla, and they were both stupendous. Also: must try the goat cheese tamale.
by Sarah P.
Mushroom Quesadillas- do it
by Tim H.
Not worth it. Terrible chips and they charge for the salsa. Would not recommend.
by Miriam P.
Come here for lunch, especially if you work in the area!

Amazing margaritas and fish tacos. The vibe is very simple and relaxed.. a true Taqueria!

The $33 prix-fixe four-course menu includes a non-alcoholic drink (try the hibiscus iced tea or horchata), salsa with housemade chips, a pork tamale or mushroom quesadilla and a three-taco entrée.
