Vast selection of fruit margaritas, award-winning birria tacos
"If you’ve ever found yourself at the Lakeview Mariano's, chances are you unknowingly zoomed past Cesar’s Killer Margaritas. But this busy Mexican place is worth knowing about. They have a great selection of margaritas and a relaxing sidewalk patio perfect for people-watching. Margaritas here come in all sorts of fruity varieties, like guava, banana, and chamoy, and can be customized with salt, chile salt, or sugar on the rims. And though these lean a little sweet, they are surprisingly strong. Don’t plan on making clear-headed grocery decisions at Mariano’s afterward." - john ringor, veda kilaru
"A destination for — what else — margaritas, Cesar’s is putting its spin on Pride month with bright and boozy “pride-rita,” a concoction of strawberry, lime, mango, and blue curacao, throughout June. A portion of proceeds from drink sales will go to LGBTQ healthcare center Howard Brown Health, which has a location blocks away from the bar." - Naomi Waxman
"Though they have a pretty sizable menu of Mexican food, with anything from tacos to baby back ribs slathered in green sauce, the real draw of this casual Lakeview spot is its margaritas. Whether you're here with a few friends in the winter trying to pretend like snow isn't real or are enjoying their laidback sidewalk patio on a sunny afternoon, you can count on Cesar's for a reliable boozy beverage any time of the year. They have all sorts of fruity varieties, like guava, banana, and chamoy, and can be customized with salt, chile salt, or sugar on the rims. And while these margaritas are on the sweeter side, they are surprisingly strong, so we like to pace ourselves by snacking on their complimentary chips and salsa between sips." - John Ringor
"Cesar’s has a stacked lineup of to-go frozen margaritas (16 or 18 ounces), in flavors like classic lime, chamoy, tamarindo, guava, and more with optional flavored pearls. Groups and indecisive types can mix things up by ordering flights of four 8.5-ounce frozen margaritas." - Naomi Waxman
"The owner of two popular Lakeview Mexican restaurants pleaded guilty to tax evasion after using a “tax zapper” to delete records of cash sales and falsify more than $1 million in reported receipts over three years; the owner was sentenced to two years in prison plus one year of unsupervised release, and both locations at 2924 N. Broadway and 3166 N. Clark Street appear to remain open." - Daniel Gerzina
