5 Rabanitos Hyde Park

so excited to have good mexican food in hyde park. went in the middle of the afternoon on sunday and the place was packed! 🤯 our server was very friendly & attentive despite it being so busy. i tried the street elotitos, chips y salsa, al pastor taco, carne asada taco, beef barbacoa taco, and flan. everything was pretty decent, but i thought the tacos were amazing. super flavorful and delicious. would probably skip the apps next time and just order more tacos

First time trying this place. Nice addition to Hyde Park. There are many options to choose from including vegetarian friendly options. Plan to come back. If you're in the area, definitely check them out.

Had the greatest time here with my boyfriend. We both agreed that this is easily the best Mexican restaurant in Hyde Park. We got an appetizer, entrees, dessert, and drinks, and all were delicious. Despite being totally packed, we got three courses in under 90 minutes. Also, the best tortillas I’ve ever had!

For appetizers tuna ceviche and guacamole/chips great. We also had a variety of tacos for our dinner and they were excellent as well. We got there just before the busy dinner time on a Saturday evening. The staff are very attentive and polite

Excellent addition to the Hyde Park restaurant scene! The original 5 Rabanitos is in Pilsen and this one has all the positives of that location! Their Cochinita Pibil is the best this side of the Yucutan Peninsula, their torta de Barbacoa was excellent, and their Mexican street corn was delicious! Best Mexican restaurant in Chicago!

Absolutely delicious. I tried five of the different tacos and each of them was amazing. I’m so happy we have a delicious Mexican food like this in Hyde Park. Finally!

Wounderful french toast dessert that was my favorite don’t forget the queso fundido and do veggie instead! Elote was top-tier💅😫👏

First time at the restaurant. I love enchiladas and the only choice was chicken enchiladas mole. I’m not a big fan but I tried them any. The sauce was sweet and spicy. They were served with rice and a small salad/slaw. I ordered the beans (black) on the side at an extra cost. Our server came right away to take our order. We never saw him again until I flagged him down. Atmosphere was nice and the staff were pleasant, but this was a one and done for me.

Hyde Park wasn't known for great Mexican food--until 5 Rabanitos arrived! This spot brings the same high-quality flavors as their original Pilsen location. Their Cochinita Pibil and Al Pastor tacos are standouts, packed with rich, authentic flavors that makes this taqueria known for. Expect significant waits on Friday and weekend evenings, as it gets busy--but it's worth it!

The west end of Hyde Park really needed a Mexican restaurant, so I am glad it's here. It was very busy when I went so I think they will do well. The service was hectic, most of the servers seemed frazzled but it was apparent they were doing their best. My food was hit and miss; the salsa and chips were excellent and flavorful. The tacos were excellent. The caldo was flavorless and bland but had lots of vegetables; they have a vegetarian menu with some cool options and that is great. I will go again and pick some different things but overall I am really glad this place is here. Try it!
