• This gorgeous little spot on Clark Street has become our favorite restaurant. Hip Latin music, copper ceilings and to die for fish dishes have brought us back several times with friends in tow. Try the Carne Asada Bandera and the Enchiladas with Mole - best in town! Expect a little wait on the weekends - have a nueva margarita at the bar! Ole!!

• Having eaten at many of Chicago's Mexican restaurants, I found this very special spot after a movie at Landmark Century. The classic Mexican fare is way above average and the special fish dishes are incredible!! We all loved our meals and were quite impressed with the interior and the service. We will be back - and often! Take note of the specials -they are well worth it!

• Make sure to order the appetizer guacamole and not the side order unless you want this tiny size.

• Enchiladas are pretty standard. The Ceviche starter was not very good and came out after the entrees. The margaritas are good though.

• I just realized I never got the rest of my meal from this place! No tortillas, rice, or beans with my carnitas order. I'd kinda like my money back!

• If you're looking to meet some cool new people and try out El Nuevo Mexicano, they’ve luckily partnered with Grubwithus.com to host a social dinner on the first Wednesday of every month.

• Great margaritas. They don't work with foursquare anymore, so no special...

  by John M.

  
  

• Food was good, not great. Chicken fajitas cooked well with seasoning. Sodas were waaaay under carbonated. So basically syrup. PLUS - they don't honor their foursquare special after you check-in!

  by Dev D.

  
  

• The food was good, but please note that they are NOT offering the foursquare free dessert special, despite it being listed and offered. Unfortunate practice on the restaurant's part.

• $4 Mojitos (half price) on Mondays!

  by Amy H.

  
  

• Ask for a premium margarita.

• Better than most anything I've had in Pilsen. As a native Texan, I'm a huge fan of their enchiladas.
