The Best To-Go Taco Tuesday Spots in Chicago | Eater

"Adobe Gilas has it all. Fishbowls full of bright blue cocktails? Check. Garlic-parm “lizard legs,” aka chicken wings? Absolutely. Housemade guacamole and fresh tortilla chips? You betcha. This is where to come for Taco Tuesday if you’re looking for generous portions, big flavors, and a little dose of nostalgia for when you used to go out to dinner before a high school dance. Just embrace the cheese (in all senses) and make sure you reheat your queso fundido when you get it home for maximum meltiness." - Vox Creative

7 Best Chicago Bars & Restaurants for Mexican Food & Margaritas | Eater

"It’s a bold marketing strategy to make the tagline of your restaurant “This place bites!” but it seems to have been working for Adobe Gila’s. This place is all about the experience: The music is loud, the drinks are served in goblets the size of your head, and the logo includes a lizard wearing a sombrero drinking a margarita. Menu options are firmly in the Americanized category, with a range of tacos and “Lizard Legs,” which are their take on buffalo wings." - Vox Creative

Server was absolutely terrible. Rushed everything, careless, attitude… when requesting a to-go box or container she threw it onto my table and then asked me for my parking ticket to verify and she came 5 minutes later to say she couldn’t do it because it was ‘folded’ and threw that too onto my table. The QR code is literally visual, can even scan it through my own phone… I stood up and walked to the front counter and verified it myself under 2 seconds. Regret tipping 20% for a 80$ meal but I’m a nice guy, should’ve just given 0. Good food and atmosphere though. Steak and veggie tacos were 10/10, so were their fries and mojitos but a terrible server that left a bad memory and completely killed the mood and evening. The nice woman working the front desk that evening was fantastic though (had tattoos). Regardless, the experience was a disappointment. I don’t want to be hassled while dining and being polite and courteous to the staff, it should be the same around. I also included a photo of my ticket she swore couldn’t be scanned because it was “folded”. Willing to bet you can scan it yourself just through the screen.

Overall good experience. Food was good, large portions, menu did not have prices listed which was unfortunate. The DJ had music from 00's-today. The appetizers came out with the meal so that wasn't spaced out as we would've liked. The cocktails came in both glass and plastic cups (inconsistent), though they were good. We had to ask for the beer list separately after being seated for a while, the menu only had three happy hour beers listed. Server wasn't very attentive after she brought the food. The dessert brought did not match the photos online. Bathrooms were clean. Good vibe, good decor, good for a night out. Cover charge on a Saturday night after a cert point. Pre Halloween weekend. They offered parking validation.

This place has the potential to be so great, but our experience was awful. We came in at 3:30PM on a sunday, only three other tables were seated. Despite advertising a massive draft beer collection, the taps were "unavailable." Once we had placed our order, we waited for an 45 minutes before food hit the table. In that time, our server checked on us twice. Not once did she ask if our empty soda cups needed refilled. Not once did she assure us that our food was on the way. She never removed our appetizer tray from an already packed table. Included in our order we had 2 burgers, 2 quesadillas, and a burrito. One burger medium rare, the other medium. When the food finally, arrived both burgers came out so well-done they were bone dry. My burrito had a solid chunk of onion over an half inch thick in the middle of it. The waiter never actually waited for us to respond when she asked if everything was okay. I had to go ask the bartender for soda refills. While we were there, we saw an individual in a wheelchair be seated at a hightop, no ADA-friendly seating, we weren't ID'd for our alcohol, and the other tables we saw seated after us seemed to have similar substantial wait. Now, an hour and a half after showing up, we're left begging for the check to escape this sad excuse for a restaurant. Having to exhaust ourselves for the most basic service items made an already mediocre-at-best food experience feel like a nightmare.

Came here with my co-workers, food was pretty good and we really liked the mango and watermelon margaritas , we ended up getting a pitcher as recommended by our server. Our server Nikki was very attentive and sweet, she checked up on us often and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. We didn’t have to flag her down , she made sure to always come by. Food came out in timely manner. The experience was much better this time then it was when we came 2 years ago.

Not bad, the second time here, the staff was friendly. It was a Monday and cold outside so empty. Food was just okay. You can tell it's old or sat for a while. Atmosphere vibes are good... could be cleaner. Overall, I would return.

The food and experience were amazing. The fruit punch fish bowl tasted like a watermelon jolly rancher so in other words trouble 🤣

Hidden gem to traumatic bonding experience. A year ago, my friend and I went here once, twice and then a third time because it was a marvel: affordable and tasty food and drinks that packed a punch. We were excited to return to such a nice place for the second year, but the problem was evident before we even stepped inside. A DJ playing music tantamount to auditory crimes against humanity at levels where the waitress had to yell into my ear to even hear her met us from the street outside. My friend and I had to text each other to communicate across the table. Before we even got there, a $20 cover charge per person greeted us after we got patted down at the bottom of the stairs. We were informed once seated that they had no food service besides chips and salsa/guac, at 11:30pm. We got two drinks, mine came with the $2 extra shot, my friend's did not, and with the chips and guac, the two drinks, the $2, (not counting the $20/person cover charge), the pre-tip bill came out to $47 and change. The abysmal accommodations not being the waitress' fault, she received the suggested 18% tip and the total came out to $55.29. I'm sure we didn't receive the 20% convention discount as we both had badges from that, but I suppose that's par for the course. At least, with prices like that, I sure hope we didn't receive a discount, that would be even worse. Everything included, we paid a combined $95.29 to get two average drinks in plastic cups, a plate of chips and a side of guacamole dip, not to mention the heinous music and hearing damage from that (at least that was on the house). It was so bad that I genuinely considered submitting a chargeback with my bank, it felt like Adobe Gila's robbed us. Truth be told, this place was a memorable experience for two years in a row, in a very good way the first year, and in a way that we will talk about to our deaths the second. To the social media person/manager reading this. The convention I attended drew at least 17,000 attendees. I could consider coming back to this restaurant next year, but you really have to make this right.

We went there Saturday evening for dinner. Overall experience was not bad. Our server was very sweet and kind. They have great margaritas and loud music. We had chips and 3 dips(guacamole, spicy salsa, queso) guacamole was straight up avocado and we asked to get a new one but it was not good. Cobb salad and steak fajitas were fine but little salty.

Food is absolutely atrocious . Advertised as Mexican Cuisine so came in expecting something better than Taco Bell . Was wrong, black beans dry and ashy, tacos skimpy and tasteless. I myself ordered the shrimp tacos, more like cheese tacos. Tacos came in a white corn tortilla, average decent size. Inside was three small shrimps and the other 90% was mozzarella cheese. Rice was pretty much stale In my opinion this plaza has a lot more better options, would never return here. Highly recommend skipping

Was fine just an in mix of music. A little something for everyone mot consistent though. So basically if you just want to hear only pop music, you will not be able to in a nutshell on the other hand this is fine if you don't mind a mix! Lol. Decent size place where you can sit and grab a bite while listening to loud music. There is also a small dance floor. You can either take the stairs to get upstairs to this place or the elevator. I went on a Sat night cover charge $20 to get in. This spot is located next to the Sugar Factory!

I went for dinner with my husband and our close friends prior to Zanie's on Sunday. The location did not have many people there but service was great. The waitress was attentive asking if we needed anything and would come around often. The taco salad was flavorful and the salsa was just right. The mangonada margarita was delicious and the perfect balance. We also went back after the comedy show and the DJ had a great mix.

I've been here multiple times and never have I had food here. It's usually the place to go when we don't want the night to end as they are open until 2am and have a dj on Saturday nights. They've added more tables and made the dance space a little smaller. We ordered a few drinks at our table and our waitress did her best with checking in on us as she was pretty busy. As much as blue Raspberry should always be the choice you can skip that fishbowl. They dont have any prices on their drinks. The dj of the night in my opinion was not reading the vibe of the place usually people are dancing the night away but most people were just sitting. The girls bathroom one of the stalls is broken so it doesn't lock. The ccover charge to get in ranges. It happened to be $10 that night. Just wasn't the best night out.

Came for a drink in the mid afternoon. We were the only guests at the bar. Many of the staff were still prepping for the dinner rush. Many of their cocktails and margaritas are made with sugary mixers. It is definitely for a younger crowd. They will validate your parking.

Came here for a quick drink after leaving Saltwater. It's an odd location. When you enter, you take the elevator up, or you take the stairs. It's a large, open restaurant. They have the bar in the middle, and tables surround the perimeter of the restaurant. There is a nice view from the top overlooking the area. It was quiet. I think we counted 6 other customers. The entire staff was in the corner wiping down menus. The bartender was friendly. I ordered a mimosa. It wasn't bad. I'm not sure if I would come here for food. The drinks are okay. It's a little pricey, but I see why. It's a touristy area.

Adobe Gilas surprised me with their loaded chicken sandwich. I ate the entire thing and enjoyed it thoroughly. Paired with some crispy fries and a refreshing margarita i was satisfied with my food. Pur server Vanessa was also very attentive and personable. Ive only visited adobes at night with a more bar/going out vibe and always have a great time. Safe to say its a good spot if you are looking for a bite to eat or a fun night out.

This place never screamed for my attention. Looked like the mother of all tourist traps and never gave them the time of day in all the years I've visited the Rosemont District. My friend and I were just leaving the district when we decided to be trouble makers and poke fun at how busy the new-kid-on-the-block Fat Rosie's was in comparison to the dead-as-a-doornail Adobe Gila's was. We went in for what was supposed to be one drink but turned into 5 and a shot! Ok, so it was kinda slow when we arrived. Couple tables with out-of-towners doing their thing. Few couples on dates. We started our experience with a nice young lady with awesome style evocative of those CK1 models from the 90s. She was Asian, she was awesome and she needs to be a model like yesterday! Her personality was just as much a standout. Attentive and professional. A DJ spun me back in time with dancehall tracks that can't help but make you move! I felt 21 all over again it was great. By this time more people came trickling in. And another bartender, a handsome young Hispanic guy with great energy (Chris I believe) gave us the lowdown when we asked about losing clientele to Fat Rosie's: "People come here for the vibe. Other restaurants [in the district] come and go. It's really not an issue for us. Everyone there [at Fat Rosie's] will be partying here when they're done. We're not too worried about the other businesses." His sheer confidence and belief in his place of work sold me. Any other businesses and staff would be sweating bullets about possibly losing clientele. This business and its staff know their place and don't try being anything other than what they are (a place to eat, drink and party...hard)! I respect it. By the time we left it got even busier and I was lowkey sad to leave. I'd definitely come back: for happy hour specials which seemed decent and affordable; to party after hours; and to enjoy the service from an attentive, easy-going crew. Also, bonus points for security. I felt safe and under good watchful eyes with the professional, friendly security I've seen at the gym and working various venues throughout my last 20 years of partying! Good job guys!

Maria the server was amazing. We went to celebrate my friends bday. Great service and amazing atmosphere. Food was phenomenal. Prices are reasonable. DJ started at 9pm and it was fun. The stools were not stable or safe. They were wobbly and kept moving while sitting. Not comfortable. Other than that. It was fabulous.

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of good things to say about this restaurant. There were four in our party. My daughter and her mom are in town for a business event and are staying in Rosemont. We started with chips and salsa. And the chips were thick and hard no salt. The salsa was good but the kicker is they brought the wrong chips and salsa. What we ordered was chips with guacamole queso and spicy salsa. That was the first thing that was wrong. The second was I spent $70 on the weakest pitcher of margaritas you would ever want to drink. lastly, the steak fajitas were tough to digest because it was sirloin steak never a good choice for fajitas my beef tacos were tasteless and cold. My daughter's shrimp was good so there is that. Service was horrible. So two stars from me

Food is good, tasted authentic too. This is my first time in this restaurant but it's doesn't feel welcoming. There's only few customers and there's only 2 of us in our party. The service wasn't good, server made several mistakes on our orders. I ordered blackened shrimp but got the steak with shrimp fajitas instead. Ordered guacamole but forgot about it until I asked etc. Anyway the place is nice.

The manager tonight was horrible to one of there servers, he should get fired for being rude to her, saw the server serve 20+ and didn't not get tipped nor did the manager help her at all, So unprofessional. childish person with no good character. Will not tolerate seeing anyone be treated so rudely. Over all restaurant experience 2/10

Agnes E.

Yelp
Went into the area after Fat Rosie's was recommended. They had a 50 min wait on a Saturday night, but we had kids and decided to look elsewhere. Adobe Gilas had zero wait and about 10 tables of customers. Sat us at a table for 4 when we had 5. Waited 15 minutes before anyone came to the table. Ordered chips and salsa and it was less than impressive serving. Two out of 5 meals came out incorrectly. Needed refills on drinks before meals were served and got them halfway through meals after asking a different waiter. Waitress never asked how the food was or if we needed anything. Oddly enough, she was very attentive when we had to tip on the handheld devise while she held it and watched the screen. Food was ok, kind of greasy, but nothing horrible or noteworthy. But can 100% see how people would wait 50 minutes for a table at a different Mexican restaurant less than a minute away than eat here.

Maya T.

Yelp
Food: we got the carne asada cantina special and al pastor street tacos. Portions are so small. Food was not worth the price. Meat was super salty. Service: our waitress was nice and attentive! Plantains were forgotten in our platter and she brought out a separate plate for us promptly. Drinks: we got the watermelon and pineapple margarita. Not strong enough. Portion for drink was decent though. But for 14/15$ should at least have some alcohol in it.

Adobe Gilas is a tequila/ sports by day and dance bar by night(9pm). The drinks and fishbowls are a good time. The food is comparable to similar locations in the city. The Buffalo shrimp were tasty. The chicken enchiladas were a bit salty but overall enjoyable. Our server Mary was attentive, informative, and pleasant. Would return for drinks and dancing.

First time here after a concert. The margaritas were awful. If I wanted a spicy kool aide could have made one at home. The DJ was just not appealing. Music was awful. The level of I do not even know what to call it. I could have gone to a corner local bar and have better music and drinks. I would not recommend this place at all. So disappointing. I would recommend to make the drinks better and get rid of that DJ. I will definitely not come back Zero star

Walked in looked like a cool place to hang out have a few drinks and tacos at. Ordered 3 of the fishbowl mixed drinks. That was a mistake they skimp on the alcohol basically all your paying for is ice and fruit juice with a splash of liquor. Tacos were mid. Service was slow. Had a group of 5 everyone said the food was trash. If you call out the bartender for under pouring they throw a fit. Place is on the perma ban list .. go else where so many other better spots

Went here and waited for overpriced food and weak drinks. We had to ask several times and multiple staff just to get waters at our table, which took over 30 minutes after being seated. Again we had to find a someone to take our order. After asking several waitresses and waiting an additional 30 minutes, we got our chips & guac and pitcher of margaritas (total wait time over an hour). The food was ok. The carnitas were dry and they forgot the plantains. The $60 margarita pitcher was weak and not worth the money. Don't waste your time and money. Head over to Fat Rosie's instead. This place is not worth it!

Atmosphere was great because it was Saturday night. Music was loud. Song were old (some songs from 2010, 2013...) but the choice was good. There was a spot next to DJ were some women started dancing. It was so funny. Everyone started applauding them. We really had great time! On my way back, i saw a big line of people who were waiting to get seated. It seems it is very popular place!
