My wife and I were out walking the dogs in Grant Park and decided to stop in with our pugs (outside seating, of course) and we are glad we did.
Upon arrival - about 5:30ish on a Thursday night - we were greeted very warmly by the owner and a member of the wait staff, and their customer service is unparalleled. They sat us in a corner with a heater since it was a little cold, everyone came out to see our pugs, and brought us draft beers and waters.
They have a Tex-Mex menu every second week of the month so we had tortillas and salsa as an appetizer. The salsa is stupid good, very spicy and a little hit but in a good way.
For our main course we ordered for me a Fancy Burger, which is a hand patted sirloin beef patty with bacon, lettuce tomato and some specialty sauce on brioche - absolutely delicious, and the side of fries are seasoned and fresh and excellent.
My wife had the 3 enchilada meal with rice, these enchiladas are not your average enchilada - loaded with onion, lettuce, purple onion, and some other stuff but my wife could only finish one, and they were really good, especially for a restaurant that doesn't do Mexican every day.
I don't give many 5 stars out, especially since this crappy Covid hit, but they are managing to stay a very good place to hang and eat despite the pandemic.
Location is one block away from Grant Park which means we will be back frequently.
I wish I had gotten the waitress and owners names, but they were wonderful ladies.
One last item I would like to mention: I don't think they normally give military discount but they gave it to us, and we felt really bad about that since so many places are struggling around the world, so I think that overall I would have to give this place and staff 5+ stars.
I believe they have a GoFundMe set up to help them get through the pandemic so I will definitely both continue to go back and also will donate to their GoFundMe. They deserve to stay in business and we need more people and places like this.
If the owner sees this I would like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for the great service and chow and overall wonderful experience. We'll see you soon.
Highly recommend and will definitely return!
