Reviews for Hale Street Cantina in Wheaton, IL
We came here yesterday for our first time with our daughter for lunch. The margaritas were INCREDIBLE. They came in nice short... glasses, not full of sugar, and you could taste the tequila. They were made perfectly. Best margaritas I think we have ever had.The guacamole was AMAZING. Kept getting better as we were eating it. I got the coconut shrimp tacos with rum colada sauce. omgthey were so good. They were HUGE! I got the flamin hot elote for my side. It was so good. My husband got a huge steak buritto &the chowder with fritos on top. SO DELICIOUS! Mario was our server. He gave us amazing recommendations, he basically picked outour meals for us which we loved. He was fast & knowledgeable. We are coming back soon! Our new favorite place to eat! Read more
First time dining here. It was a beautiful afternoon, around lunchtime. We opted to sit inside, as the covered tent patio was... quite busy, and noisy. There was a large group of ladies sitting close by indoors, and they were quite loud. It would be noisyindoors too, had there been more occupied tables (most chose to dine outdoors due to lovely weather). Their menu is online. Ichose the coconut shrimp tacos and a side salad with their chipotle ranch dressing. The reason for the 4 star rating is they useCANNED pineapple in their tacos. I would have thought they would have carried the freshness over to their fruit too. You get 2tacos, which are pretty big, and one side. Some sides have an up charge (elotes )but we were informed of that when ordering,which was nice. Brianna was pleasant, and offered great service, even though she was quite busy. Read more
Stopped in for a snack and a brew with our son and daughter in law. We've eaten here before. Good food and drink specials. Nice... atmosphere. Open cantina concept which is one of our favorite styles. Bartenders and servers are always friendly, polite andefficient. Can't ask for more from a business. Read more
With this part of Hale Street closed to allow eating outside under the tent, it really makes for a pleasant atmosphere. The... service was attentive; the food was spot on. The menu has more traditional Mexican takes on food as well as twists - the ChickenBLT tacos were very, very good. The surprise was the jalapeno balsamic vinaigrette. Definitely worth the trip downtown. Read more

I came here for a late lunch/early dinner a couple days ago. It was nice out, so I sat outside under the tent. The server was... really outgoing and friendly. He made some suggestions to help me figure out my order (for whatever reason I couldn't decidecorn or flour tortilla for my fish tacos, and he suggested one of each.) I've been trying to watch what I eat, so I did grilledfish instead of the fried, and was pleased with the grilled tilapia. Overall it was a good meal. You get a LOT of food- thetacos were just overflowing, and I ended up only being able to eat one, so I had the other as a late dinner. The spicy eloteswas AMAZING. Next time maybe I'll just order 3 sides of that and call it a day! I will 100% be back. Oh- and the littlesparrows that came begging for chips were an added bonus- free entertainment! Read more
Food was good! Service was awesome as well. My fiancé and I ordered the nachos with steak as an appetizer. The steak was... great! We both ordered the Hale Street steak burritos. He got rice and beans as a side and I got the flaming hot elote. Rice andbeans were a better side than the elote. Def recommend this place! Read more
Overall, sat at the bar, had a burrito, salad, and some cocktails. The food was great, there was much more I wanted to try but... the stomach wasn't having it. The drinks were top notch. The service was outstanding. Crowd that night wasn't really my type,but you can't be perfect in all areas. Will be back in the future. Read more
