Reviews for El Hefe Chicago in Chicago, IL
Lively place. Had the original bulldogarita. Unimpressive, bland and weak.
Overall it was good. I thought the prices were high for what you were getting so that’s why I have 4 stars. The quesadilla and... taco were good but nothing too special. I did really enjoy the margaritas. Read more

For context, I live in Logan Square and mainly hangout in Logan Square, but my friend from out of town wanted to go out... downtown. We showed up and were greeted at the door asking $20 cover charge for the men in the group. Then my girlfriend and Iordered a vodka cranberry and gin and tonic… $35 plus tip. The DJ was great. Then for last call ordered a Bud Light and aDosXX (bottles). Handed the bartender a $20 and gave me $2 back; the online menu says $5 for Bud Light and $6 for DosXX- Ishowed them the online menu and they responded, “the prices go up at night.” Like I said, I hangout in Logan Square where Ican get a Hamms/Old Style for $3-4 a piece. I just wish they would’ve published their “nighttime prices” online.Definitely won’t be going back. Read more
Went into the bar looking to listen to good music and have a few drinks. Sat down never greeted. My other half went to the bar... brought back two drinks Hennessy and cranberry.. full of ice and a watered down drink.. I went back to the bar for two shots ofHennessy to add to it.. $25 bucks each total $50.00 and a 20% gratuity charge was given without my knowledge. Literally wentback to the table , had our drinks And left. Management needs to do better I never in my life walked into a bar and had to fix adrink and literally paid 100.00 for two drinks. Music was great but I am really upset. Read more
Came here for brunch with a large group of girls. The DJ played great music and the vibe was awesome! They were definitely... understaffed to accommodate the size of our group although they knew we were coming in advance. We only had one waitress and shedid an amazing job! It did take forever for us to get our food. I got the Crispy Birria Quesadillas and they were delicious! Read more
Place is nice but that is it. Terrible service! Waited forever for the waitress to take our order, get water or a refill and get... our bill. The place did not have alot of tables so I couldn't understand why the waitressing was so bad. You will get charged afee to eat there, did not know that...? Note the ~18-20% mandatory tip was mandatory for 6 of us and was NOT earned as thewaitress provided little to no service. Food is meh, avoid the fries the season is overwhelming. Had a house Margarita and itwas nothing special. Read more
Went for the first time today, I ordered the chilaquiles and added eggs with my order, after a long wait the chilaquiles were... brought out without eggs (not a big deal) I asked the waiter, who didn't come by our table much, if she can get me the eggs Iwanted she said yes and after yet another long wait she finally decides to come by my table and asks if they brought out my eggs(they didn't) by that time my chilaquiles were soggy and cold so I told her not to worry about it and to just take my plate. Iwas still charged for the food I didn't eat because of their mistake and on top of that they added the 20% gratuity fee. If Ihad the choice, 20% would not have been my tip. I'm not the type to be like that but don't give mediocre service and expect thebenefits of good service... It was a terrible experience for me. I Will not be back. I've been to other restaurants and theyhave been ridiculously busy, yet I still got great service from them. Read more
