    Came here for their brunch Sundays with a group of friends. We sat out in their outdoor seating area and it was cool I loved the roof it was like a translucent gradient roof. Really neat. The food was tasty I had the Brunch Burger and the addition of syrup was game changing! I loved it, really well balanced flavor. Only knock I have is that by the bar there was this strange odor. No clue what could it be but didn’t bother me since we were seated outside.

    Been stuck in the house for quite some time, a I decided to grab some lunch. During these times it’s always best to do reservation because of limited seating. This place has done a decent job of trying to make everyone feel safe about dining in. Plexi glass and screen protectors are set up in the patio area. To help people with anxiety about what’s going on, including me. Paperless menus. The food and drinks were amazing, the lemon pepper shrimp taco was to die for. LGBT friendly. The service was great, as the workers were very knowledgeable of the menu and attentive. Did I mention the lemon pepper shrimp taco? Located between the Belmont and Addison in CTA train stop. So if you are visiting the city, that could be a great way to explore the City of Chicago. 🤎KD

    Solid spot for some good tacos, guac or other Mexican fare, they have good margs and a wild brunch on the weekend. Not much to share, the service is always great, servers are super friendly, especially Bobby, and the margs come out quickly. Ton of different options and they run specials during the week.

    Haven't seen 50 cent wing nights in a long time. I was upset it took over an hour because of traffic ( lsd lane closures, cubs game) ... but the wings and fries were pretty good. I liked the ambiance I wasn't crazy about my blue drink but I would come back.

    Completely renovated electric vibes. Wish I would have remembered to take more photos but I dove into my tacos so fast it completely slipped my mind 😂 they were unique and you could tell all ingredients were very fresh. 10/10 ⚡

    The nachos and tacos were good. Mimosa fairy is really hard at work- always made sure to check in every now and then. I did not enjoy their vegan mushroom tacos but overall a great brunch experience.

    Not friendly to those with physical needs. I’m healing from a broken ankle and still want to enjoy going out to eat here and there but last night’s experience made that difficult. I’m short and even before my injury found it difficult to sit at high tops. From the beginning I was placed at a high-top without any offer to help when the host/ server saw me struggle. I came here with my sister to try to have a good time but we were rushed out right as we finished our drinks and before we could even finish our food. And although the host stand is in the front and the host could clearly see that the entrance is difficult to maneuver with the heavy door, tight space, and steep stairs, no help was offered on our way out. Instead another guest had to give a hand. Other restaurants have been much kinder and I remembered my previous experiences being friendly when I visited months prior to my accident, but this makes me wonder if I should ever return.

    not that impressed... tacos were very expensive but didn't come with much. not really comparable to street tacos I've had a few blocks away, not usually a big deal but these were much higher cost so i didn't feel i had a positive experience. not much taste or spice.

    It was surprisingly good, great food... I just felt awkward keep saying we were ok... or didn't need drinks at a certain moment... that was a little intense... besides that all gooodddddd...

    What a horrible experience!!! I do not recommend you this place. I was here on a Monday night. The service was really terrible and the taste of the food was disgusting. Do yourself a favor and avoid it. We ordered the smoked chicken quesadilla and chicken tenders really not good at all.

    Didn't like their cocktails and Margarita at all! Even the chicken quesadilla that we ordered wasn't great! Their was minimal chicken in it and it was just all cold! Not at all worth the price they charge! However the ambiance, vibe and location is awesome, but they really need to work on their food and drinks!

    The tacos were amazing The drinks were good but I was overcharged for my meal. I just called to double check the prices on what I ordered and they told me to email the restaurant and they will try and fix it. As long as they do I will update this and let y'all know. That being said, it is a quite expensive for a taco joint.

    D.S. Tequila is more about the vibe than quality. The food was not great. The chicken biscuits and gravy were only okay and tasted mostly of fried crumbly bits. The chicken was very dry. The steak that came with the steak and eggs was rubbery and tasted more like a honey ham. If you want a decent meal, definitely go elsewhere. The drinks are only okay. The atmosphere is fun, though!

  • 5/5 Michael O. 1 year ago on Google
    The drinks were amazing! This is a great place to watch the parades. The DJ was fluid, and the dance floor was packed. The bathroom was clean. Overall, well worth the visit.

  • 4/5 Stacey B. 1 year ago on Google
    So much fun! The atmosphere is fun, music is great, the servers are friendly and attentive and the drinks are not so shabby. This is a great place to get some fuel for a night of Boystown dancing, drinking, and making new friends.

    This was such a great find!! I was drawn in by the awesome outdoor seating and was super shocked by the incredible salad (was able to add impossible patty as a vegan option!). I had a great dinner with my friend with awesome vibes, affordable wine/beer, and delicious food. Our server Robert provided amazing service and was so kind and helpful! Would absolutely recommend and definitely be back. Also, option to have itemized receipt texted to you for bill splitting!

  • 3/5 Roxanne M. 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly just so so quality and really overcharging. $12 for a high noon can and $18 for just a plain burger with fries. Many much better options in the area. But as a lesbian dance bar, it’s great

    Went here to celebrate pride month with some coworkers and their margaritas and taco salads are to die for. I love a good boozy pour and I could smell the tequila when our drinks came out. This restaurant definitely lives up to its name.

    We showed up around 9. They advertised they were open until 11pm. They informed us at the hostess desk that they were closing at 10pm and the kitchen was closing in 5 minutes. Seemed like they were trying to talk us out of staying. When we got to our table, our server told us it was last call for food and drinks. It was just a few minutes past 9pm. Before we were even close to being done eating, the server was hovering over us to cash out. Never refilled our water. It was very uncomfortable. This place should maybe worry less about getting out of there and more about serving their customers.

    Great drinks but bouncer was advertising open bar on Pride when we we walked by at 1:30. Came back an hour later and paid the $25 cover only to find out it ended at 12pm and still had to pay $20 for a frozen margarita. Needs some consistency.

    The African American “Bouncer” standing in the front on Sunday 8/13 around 1:50 was the reason we walked to the host and canceled our reservations. Although they’re a joke of an establishment and over booked anyway. Please educate your staff and again “bouncer” on customer service or having some respect at least. The way he stopped my friend and made an abrupt remark completely through us off. Asking if we thought if he was just some black guy standing by the door bc we didn’t realize he was a bouncer and simply tried to walk in for our reservation. Making it about race and coming at us for no reason. Next time he should be dressed more like a bouncer and not a bus boy and not be slouched laying against the wall.
