I chose the ajugado sandwich --a delicious pulled pork sandwich lightly resting in a delicious chile broth followed by the polverone cookie. I'll be back on my next trip to Chicago!
A great lunch spot. The chicken sandwich is a unique deal. Sweet, savory, spicy, and $9 seems good for the area... Does not come with any sides. Love the location for meeting up outside. Guacamole is really good.
I was surprised how good churro sandwich tasted. The spicness of the chicken really complemented to the sweetness of the churro. I definitely enjoyed the sandwich. I wasnt much impressed by cuban though. It was okay
Good food. Margarita flavor of the day was delicious.
Went here for brunch, ended up getting lunch. Great looking and tasting tortas. Good place when all other places have a wait ?.The churro was great but had a little more sugar then expected.
Extremely overrated. I ate a giant taco with some sauce on it. Taco was average and the sauces are not that good. My wife ate a kind of schnitzel, hot sauce with red onion pickles in a churro bun. Even if we are open to new tastes, this was just a sugary, hot, soured, salty weird mix. We ordered churros after and those were so greasy and the chocolate sauce was horrible. Staff was average. Highly not recommended.
It came recommended from everyone and it did not disappoint. These Tortas were awesome!! Looking forward to returning and trying something new
We waited for 20 minutes even though we were first in the line and there were clearly empty spots inside cause they let us in even though nobody came out. The waitress could barely understand us and could not answer even the simple questions about the food she serves. We did not get any cutlery or napkins until we asked for them. My drink (which was a simple coke) came 10 minutes after the food was served. Don't get me started on the food. Mediocre at best (the Churros are terrible, stay clear) if I am being generous. Prices are more reasonable compared to many places in Downtown Chicago but I'd say pay a little more and eat a decent meal.
Visited this Rick Bayless restaurant during our quick trip to Chicago. Tortas (sandwiches), tacos, salads and soups were the main offerings. Both outdoor and indoor seating were available but we came at a busy time and got seated at the counter facing a wall. Not a lot of space but functional for just eating. I tried the coachinita pibil torta with shredded suckling pig and picked onions. it was savory, tender and juicy. The side of green sauce was quite spicy. The guacamole appetizer twist came with bacon and chicharrones adding a nice crunch. One of the best we’ve eaten. Carnitas and barbacoa beef tacos were similarly tasty. Four tacos on each plate. Overall good food but on the pricey side especially with the mandatory tip (added automatically). No way to reduce if bad service.
Come for the service, tortas, and the lemonade!, we tried Guacamole, hot chocolate, churros, and they are also good. Can't go wrong at Xoco!!
