Mucho Gusto Barra + Cocina - Chicago

From the ladies at the door to our waiter, Angie it was a great experience, beautiful scenery, great music and most importantly the food was amazing. I had several appetizers as well as the main course. They had a crown and a birthday sash for my best friend and did a great time celebrating her.

I had such a great time at Mucho Gusto Barra + Cocina in Chicago! I ordered the fajitas and they were absolutely delicious – full of flavor and perfectly cooked. My friend had the birria tacos and couldn’t stop raving about them. We paired everything with their mango margaritas, which were refreshing and the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The vibe here is amazing – lively but still comfortable – and the decor is gorgeous, modern yet warm. It’s definitely one of those places that feels like the perfect spot for a night out with friends or even a fun date night. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food, drinks, and atmosphere in Chicago!

The food and service is fantastic. We attended a small celebration there and I was very impressed by it all! The staff is attentive and helpful. The food and drinks are tasty. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the music is awesome. If you love Latin food, flavors, vibes, definitely come check this place out.

A Five-Star Fiesta!Seriously, stop what you're doing and go to this restaurant! The place is beautiful, and the vibes were absolutely amazing—we immediately felt like we were in for a perfect evening. The staff were super friendly and fun, making the whole experience a blast, and the music was amazing.We hit up the wonderful happy hour and were immediately impressed. The food was absolutely delicious, and I have to say, the margaritas were unbelievably amazing (and yes, they deserve all those exclamation points!). This is definitely a place we are coming back to!

This place has the drinks, the vibes and good music. Our experience was made better thanks to Nayeli. We has a very good experience! We were here on a Saturday from 1-6 and had a great time. Definitely recommend.

Nayeli was amazing at Mucho Gusto! Super friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. She gave great recommendations and made sure everything was perfect. The food was delicious, and her service made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back!

Mucho Gusto in Logan Square is definitely popping! The vibe is amazing—Sundays they even have a live DJ, and the waitresses come around with free tequila shots which is such a fun touch. The staff is super nice, and the drinks are where this place shines. Both the mezcal cocktails and margaritas were absolutely delicious. That being said, the food was a big letdown. The steak tacos were honestly the worst I’ve ever had, which is disappointing because you’d expect better for the price and location. The good news is the lively atmosphere and drinks almost make up for it. If you’re looking for a fun night out with great music, tequila, and cocktails, this spot is worth checking out—just don’t come here for the food.

We had dinner at Mucho Gusto Barra + Cocina a couple weeks after it opened. It is a vibrant Mexican restaurant inspired by the colors and charm of San Miguel de Allende. Authentic Mexican dishes, tequila and mezcal cocktails and an energetic ambience make for a fun spot to catch up with friends, get a bite to eat or celebrate an occasion. Things to know about Mucho Gusto: 1) Colorful wall art and decor everywhere! 2) 2 patios. Enclosed patio through restaurant is warm and welcoming. 3) Listen to your server. Ask for Candido. He knows what he is talking about. 4) Delicious food and drinks. 5) Instagrammable shots throughout the restaurant. 6) Music is high energy. If you prefer a quieter space, choose the outdoor patios.

Great new place in Logan square! Absolutely loved the decor and perfect if you're into taking cute pics with your friends! The food was very tasty, came out nice and hot and the portions were perfect. I had the shrimp and al pastor tacos and my husband had the shrimp fajitas...delicious! But honestly, the highlight of our meal was the grilled octopus appetizer...soooo good and just the right amount of sauce! The service was top notch! Araceli was our server and she was just the sweetest girl! She checked on us frequently and we had the nicest conversation with her... just made the whole experience even better from start to finish. we live just a few blocks away so we will be back soon!

Interesting experience. We walked in and asked what the wait time was, and if it was possible to book for a later time. they didn't answer and then continued to sit us?? Which was fine but also we were trying to book for a later time. The place was pretty and some people were there. Chill vibes. My friend mentioned we were there for happy hour. We proceeded to get seated at a table and got served chips and salsa. Chips. were a bit stale but salsa was fine. Water was served. The waiter came with an attached friend. She mentioned that happy hour was only at the bar. She also mentioned a Taco Tuesday special. Unlimited tacos, 3 margarita in a flight version. We asked the water for time My friend asked if we could move to the bar and do happy hour and eat tacos. They said happy hour was strictly at the bar. So we stayed at our table. One friend had previously ate, one friend wanted taco Tuesday, I wanted a dinner plate. Unfortunately, taco Tuesday had to be served to the whole table. We ended up leaving. They never fully disclosed this upon entering, which resulted in missing happy hour at a different locations.

I probably would've waited longer to come here, but our friends suggested it. Nothing said or pictured about the restaurant talked about it's food, just annoying accounts of the vibe and experience. Fortunately, this was overall a more positive experience than I was expecting, but not without a couple of hiccups. When we walked up, we saw several open tables on the patio and were excited. Because it was insanely loud inside and we didn't have to go to our plan B. When my friend went to the host, we were told it was reservations only that night otherwise it would be an hour wait. Odd, considering the sign on the door said walk-ins welcome. So we stood just outside the door, opened OpenTable, booked a table and were seated immediately. Fortunately, the rest of the night improved. Somehow we were given bottomless chips and salsa, which was nice, but made it hard not to ruin our dinner. The chips were good, but the salsa was pretty mid and lacked any heat. The ceviche was good, not the biggest portion, but a little sweeter on the front with a little spice on the finish. For our mains we got the Camaronea Nayarit, Cochinita Pibil, Chile Relleni, and Enchiladas Mole. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I would've preferred the tails be removed from the shrimp and a little more heat, but overall it was tasty. Service was also very attentive. I drink a lot of water and the woman covering the water was on it. For drinks, our friends ordered mojitos, husband a spicy margarita, and me a non-alcoholic tamarind margarita. Husband was impressed by the spiciness of his drink, which is a huge compliment. My drink got mixed up and I ended up with an alcoholic strawberry margarita, which was promptly corrected. It would be nice to see more NA options featured. I didn't even catch the part on the menu where it noted cocktails could be made NA, it was very discreet. I would also be nice to offer some NA beer options like Corona. Overall they did a lot to update the interior to be a place people want to Instagram. I think all of us photo bombed someone trying to use the bathroom. I'm hoping they tone down things like the shot parade with their blaring whistles and the rotating lights that made it feel club like. The food is good, but that was a turnoff for me.

Cute little spot in the city .. nice place to hang a grab a drink . Food was good portions could be bigger but yeah tasty food margaritas were made well Bar staff was overwhelmed waited a while for my drink but it was ok music was bumping and shots were flowing

Omg from the atmosphere to the food to the hospitality.....it was an experience!!!! We walked in and felt like we were in another world with the lights, flowers and overall decorations. The have an outside patio in the front and back but it was too darn hot last night for that! They had numerous picture spots and the bar was jumping! The food was good and quick. I had the 3 tacos and rice AND THE MARGARITA!!! If you order 3 tacos you get rice and beans at no additional charge. The sink was HUGE and DELICIOUS, not watered down like some places. The pricing was typical. Hospitality was on point!!! From the time we walked into the hostess who was really funny and inviting our server who was really nice and the gussets who made sure we were refilled and tables were clear. We even got a visit from one of the owners asking how everything was. They made the experience gray and I will be back!

First time visiting since re-model, and over all it's pretty decent. Nice interior and exterior. Drinks are fine with decent price, and food is okay. Ultimately seemed like a late night food place, definitely gave the vibes of a Nightclub with food options. Music can be better, food can be better. I think that new we know the new vibes of MG, we will enjoy it going forward! Nice staff too!

Extremely extremely extremely loud. Can't say much else. Menu pics posted. The decor is very pretty but it is very Instagram forward.

Great place to celebrate your Birthday the service was great and food :) On the weekend they have a Dj after 6pm

I made a reservation via Open Table for their grand opening but sadly cancelled as their menu still isn't available on their website or anywhere else. I called to ask if they were going to post their menu and when they answered I literally couldn't hear the person that answered at all. It was insanely loud. I asked if their menu is available to view online and all he answered was "yes" (I already knew it wasn't available online yet). No help with where to go, or at least let me know it'll be visible soon. Needless to say we were turned off and just cancelled our reservation. Maaaaybe we'll give it another shot later in the future once they work out some in house kinks and once we can view their menu. Womp womp...

Had an amazing dinner with my besties. The food was delicious and drinks were refreshing. Perfect combo for a great summer night. The bartender named Ricky was very attentive and provided amazing customer service.

Had a great experience checking out Mucho Gusto. Nice new addition to the neighborhood. 5 star service & Top notch drinks. Big fan of the Art & ambiance.

If this place is going to be more of a club than a restaurant, that is fine but it needs to be advertised as so. It would be nice if patrons were asked whether they wanted to be inside, outside, or at least somewhere away from the noise. We were very much in attendance just to get a bite to eat and were seated directly in front of a DJ. Left after a quick appetizer because of the overstimulation.

Great atmosphere, great music, and great service! Priscilla was an awesome bartender! Will definitely be back!

Unfortunately all the effort that was put into this new place seems to have gone into the decor, which quite frankly is way too much and overstimulating. All of the advertising is about how 'instagrammable' this place is. Now to the food and service: both painfully mediocre. There is nothing in the quality of the food and drinks to differentiate it from the place across the road, or even other places in Logan. The prices are also way too much for the portion size. Our chips were stale, the appetizers came out cold, and the entrees were forgettable. I think that this place could be a success if they did the following: tone down the decor, get rid of some of the neon and fake flowers, focus on food quality and come up with interesting specials.

The ambiance was pleasant, but unfortunately the service left much to be desired. Despite the dining room being nearly empty, it took an unreasonably long time to receive our sangria and margarita, both of which arrived after we had already finished our appetizer. The appetizer sampler itself was served late and arrived cold, with some items differing from what was listed on the menu. I understand the restaurant is newly opened, but there are clearly several operational issues that need to be addressed.
