Reviews for 5 Rabanitos Restaurante & Taqueria in Chicago, IL
Great atmosphere and vibes. Very close to pink line. Friendly staff. Extremely tasty Mexican dishes (while a bit pricey in my... opinion but well worth it) Read more
Always busy, and for good reason, this small restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, great service and an extensive menu. I... particularly am impressed by unique dishes with zucchini, goat meat, tinga and red mole. Also, the artfully radish-topped platesare special. The caldo de res serrano chili broth had nice flavor, but was much too salty. Otherwise, everything pictured in thephotos was quite tasty. This was my second meal here, and I'll be back. Read more
Best Cochinita Pibil I?ve tried around the Chicago area. Tried this place after few colleagues recommended their 3 milk?s cake.... Which it was not disappointing at all. The sope with the cochinita pibil was my favorite. Perfect amount of meat, beans, pickedonions and cheese. The shrimp empanadas were also good, you basically get two empanadas cut into half?s. It is in the priceyside, I don?t mind paying if the food quality is right. Only downfall was customer service could be attentive. I did order aheadof time because of the amount of reviews that stated they have very slow service. I ordered through their website. Which wasconvenient. Read more
Friendly and knowledgeable service, absolutely delicious food (omg I cannot even explain how yummy this food was. And sat so... well in the stomach, too), unique dishes, tasty and fun tequila drinks, and to top it all off: great mole! And a fun Plantainappetizer ???? What's not to love? Highly recommended. P.S. Mexican Coca-Cola available ???????? Read more
Not sure if this is supposed to be a bar or a restaurant. Stop by to have dinner with family and it was busy. Which is very good... for them because it's good to see small businesses thrive. The place was really loud and it was not easy to have a tableconversation without leaning forward and raising your voice. The majority of the tables there were just drinking alcohol whichexplains why it was very loud. People were happy. We ordered a total of 5 tacos, enchilada plate and another small vegan platefor my party. It took about an hour to get our food and they didn't even get it right. I'm not here to exaggerate but theexperience and service was bad. If you're looking for a place to drink and maybe have some food as long as you don't mindwaiting then this would be an option. Also, the tacos here are the size of Comales tacos. They just look pretty and cost more.Very disappointed. Read more
