Nestled in Pilsen, 5 Rabanitos serves vibrant Mexican fare with a hefty vegetarian menu, making it a must-visit casual spot for food lovers.
"Speaking of Mexican food, one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in the city now has a second location in Hyde Park. Expect a similar menu to their Pilsen location with 5 Rabanitos classics like tortas ahogadas, cochinita pibil tacos, and spicy seafood soup." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
"A restaurant in Pilsen owned by Alonso Sotelo, highlighting regional Mexican dishes." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Pozole, a traditional hominy-based Mexican stew, is an ideal antidote to wintertime blues, and chef Alfonso Sotelo’s version comes with wonderful depth and complexity. The bowl is packed with pork or chicken, avocado, juicy lime, and topped with a pile of crunchy chicharron and sliced radish." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff
"Chef Alfonso Sotelo’s love letter to his upbringing in Guerrero, Mexico, has transformed into a beating heart in Pilsen, where traditional recipes collide with chef creativity. The balance between Mexican street food and bold Chicago plating and finesse makes locals swoon. Handmade tortillas and fresh, vibrant flavors speak to his childhood, when he and his four brothers would sell their family-grown radishes at the market (hence, the 5 Rabanitos)." - Alex Jewell
"5 Rabanitos is a casual Mexican restaurant in Pilsen with a long menu full of great food. And it’s so affordable that you won’t have to choose between the cochinita pibil tacos ($3.75), tinga huarache ($10.50), and the ahogada torta ($12.75). That goes for the desserts too. So if you and your date are going back and forth between the equally excellent tres leches cake and cinnamon bread pudding, you can go wild and get both for $14." - josh barnett, adrian kane
