Mica's Mexican Restaurant

Stopped in today for lunch with a friend. We were lucky to find street parking right in front. The inside feels familiar to your standard casual Mexican restaurant in Chicago. I ordered the carne asada torta sandwich and my friend ordered the pozole. Right away we were served our drinks and a small sample soup that was perfect for warming up from outside winter weather. The horchata was as good as it gets. Shortly after our food arrived. The torta was a great size, and the bread was incredibly fluffy and delicious. I loved the torta. My friends pozole looked amazing and he only had good things to say. To finish up our meal I ordered the flan and the homie ordered a dulce de leche. Both desserts were perfection. Definitely recommend this place for some solid Mexican food.

Delicious! Perfect blend of flavors in the chicken soup. We really enjoyed the Cecina Campesina and Enchiladas de Mole. Mole sauce had just the right amount of spice. Tres Leches made a decadent dessert, and the owner, Mica, brought us some cups of corn in sweet cinnamon milk as a bonus treat. We will be back.

Do yourself a favor and put this on your rotation of favorite taco places. This was the photo of 4 mixed tacos before I absolutely demolished them. Steak- really well seasoned El Pastor- this was the gold star. Micas gives you a pretty good portion of hunks of el pastor. Chorizo- heavily seasoned. Really good but maybe a bit too heavy for me as a taco. Shrimp - a solid choice The service is so nice and attentive. Try their chicken soup it’s delicious for the upcoming Chicago winter.

Been back a few times now and definitely have my favorite dishes. Comfort food, their tortas are on point and the fresh bread really shines which is key BUT today I might have moved the pozole to the front of the line. Perfect for a winter day and those deserts, I warn you, once you take a bite you’ll order that flan, cornbread, and tres leches so you and your friends can share. I lastly got converted, as a Colombian who said he would never try a “cafe de olla” again but they make that coffee with JUST the right touch of cinnamon. Don’t knock it till you try it.

I never write reviews, but this a 10/10 for me. If you want real Mexican food, go here. Everything including the service was perfect. Imma sleep good tonight.

The best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to! The food was delicious and made with love, and the atmosphere was so authentic and friendly. I will be back here again- this place is a real gem.

I was looking for something delicious for my lunch and I found this restaurant, my favorite dish is tortas so I decided to order a chicken Milanese torta and a pastor taco, the torta was very good the bread was soft and the meat was very flavorful, soft and not dry, the taco for my taste was good but it lacked a little flavor also I ordered a very refreshing Jamaica water in general the food was very good and with excellent prices, when I have the opportunity to return I will

I had an amazing experience at Mica’s Mexican Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Every dish tasted authentic and full of rich Mexican flavors. The service was outstanding; the staff was very friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for relaxing and enjoying a meal with friends or family. The prices are very reasonable for the quality you get, and the portion sizes are generous. I especially loved how clean and comfortable the restaurant felt, and it was easy to have a conversation without too much noise. I highly recommend Mica’s if you’re looking for great Mexican food and excellent service. Definitely a place I will return to again!

This used to be Exclusive Boutique, remember that! I had rice and tortilla chips with salsa. The staff and service is micariffic.

This restaurant is a jewel . I had the huevos con Jamon and they were delicious . The salsas added a nice kick to the entire meal. I highly recommend the Cafe de Olla and if you have a sweet tooth, the pastel de tres leches is the way to go. Everything here is delicious and the staff are super friendly. Definitely a place to eat and feel at home .

New Mexican restaurant on Howard. Super tasty food served by very friendly staff. Tacos were spot on! I'll be back for the ceviche and more.

So glad to see this new place in the neighborhood. Dinner was tasty. I enjoyed the pollo con mole. Mica, the owner, is very friendly. The service was great. We will definitely be back.
