CERDITO MUERTO

I visited Cerdito Muerto last night with three of my girlfriends, and we had such a fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the beautiful ambiance — it’s the perfect spot for a romantic dinner date or a fun night out with friends. The food and drinks were absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented, and the cocktails were creative and delicious. The service was equally impressive — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We’re already talking about when we’ll be back. Highly recommend Cerdito Muerto to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Pilsen!

Stopped by Cerito Muerto today and was genuinely impressed. It has a vibrant speakeasy-style vibe that immediately caught my attention. The bartender—who’s also the owner—was super welcoming and made the whole experience feel personal and laid-back. The food? Fire. Culturally spot-on and packed with authentic Mexican flavors that reminded me of home. It’s clear they’re putting a lot of heart into everything—from the vibe to the menu. Definitely a hidden gem in the neighborhood. I’ll be back—and bringing people with me. Wishing them nothing but success. If you haven’t checked them out yet, you’re missing out.

They have a great ambiance, good drinks and the bartenders and owner were all wonderful and gave us an amazing experience! Highly recommend

Such an incredible date night spot. The tacos were amazing, service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was great. The vibes felt like the coolest cocktail bar. Loved celebrating my birthday here!

Great atmosphere, amazing drinks, great food! We have been going regularly since their soft opening! Owner is hands-on and involved with everything, so great to see! We even got a brief history of the building and his family from the owner himself! As a long-time Pilsen resident, I will definitely be supporting them regularly.

This speakeasy in Pilsen is AMAZING! Great additive free tequila selection, some high end bottles. Cocktails are very good as well, need to try their homemade squirt! Burger and arrachera quesadilla are 🔥. Emilio and his staff do an amazing job and making you feel at home! This won't be a hidden gem for long!! Must try!

Incredible food and drinks! The nicest people working here and a beautiful space to boot. Can't wait to become a regular!!!

Simply amazing! Best Vieux Carré in Chicago! Great food and even better service.

We had an incredible experience. It is beautiful and refined but really comfortable for the casual diner like myself. The drinks were terrific, I recommend the fire starter and the Paloma with house made squirt. The best for last is the food! Everything is tapas style so we tried about couple things. I truly enjoyed everything we had. Don't snooze on dessert... it was a perfect end to the meal.

Amazing hospitality, service and menu! We saw it online and were skeptical about trying it. 5/5 AMAZING! The branzino was like no other highly recommended we also tried the ceviche which was very unique. We each tried about 2 cocktails the favorite was the piña colada. A must try in Pilsen, the server Abby was great and attentive
