Wow!! Met a friend here for dinner and he and I both
Wow!! Met a friend here for dinner and he and I both ordered the same. COSTILLAS DE RES and it was incredible!! Our server introduced himself and first question was are there food allergies. Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As an allergy sufferer (epipen carrier), I am always so impressed. He is allergic to fish and I tree nuts, sesame & beans. He pointed out what to avoid or can easily be modified. Our dinners were served on beans, mine was not. The tortillas were hot and fresh!! I had 3!! Served with minced onion and cilantro and a green sauce. The meat was so good! I usually don't take doggie bag, but let me tell you... the portion was huge and I was not wasting any part of it! I loved every juicy and flavorful bite! No appetizers or desserts. The place is not something you'd walk by outside and be wowed, but the interior is so awesome and architecturally appealing. It's a little loud, but not too dark inside. And as an older generation gal, I value lights, lol. I'll definitely return with friends. TIP: Make reservations and try to do it as soon as you have a time. The place was PACKED!! Not a seat in the place. The only thing that was insane was there is literally only 1 toilet for women. As the ladies stood there in a line, we could not believe it. Literally stupid and not expected for such a large establishment. So, beware. A confusing head-slapper.

My 19 year old made reservations for my bday and we were running more than 10 mins late . We showed up 20 mins later only to be informed our table was given away. We were so disappointed and had my mom and aunt in tow .... My 75 year old aunt got so upset and asked if they could accommodate us and finally the manager came out and got us a high top table with 2 additional seats for 6 people. We squeezed In and ordered a whole bunch of food including the red snapper on the menu. The service was good , the menu lacks chicken dishes and the drinks were meh. I have had better old fashioned. . Lauren the manager came up and checked on us a few times which was good. I hope chef Carlos will increase the poultry options and also improve the drinks . The guava pavlova was superb!! I will be back with my girlfriends

High end Mexican food made by a talented chef with excellent service. A bit on the expensive side but an excellent culinary experience. Definitely reserve in advance as it is a top restaurant
Be the first to ReplyI've said this so many times but I wish yelp did 0.
5 stars because I'd give them a 3.5/5. My friends and I ordered the short rib, guacamole with pork, octopus, fries, and a chocolate hazelnut dessert and 2 non-alcoholic drinks. Starting with the star dish- the short rib. It literally fell off the bone and melted in your mouth. My next favorite was the octopus which was tender in the thicker part but tasted kind of burnt when you reached the end. The little carrot, pea, potato salad it's served with was not my cup of tea. The guacamole and fries were very mediocre, you can definitely find better elsewhere. Did you know they also charge $5 for a side of garlic aioli??? Insane. The dessert was also just ok- I found the texture of the hazelnut cake to be a bit dry. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience and more for special occasions than an everyday casual dinner. Don't forget to check out their super aesthetic bathroom.

Wow. I can't say enough about this place. It's been on my list for a while now and I kept skipping it over. My biggest regret is that I waited this long to try it. Every item was spot on and service and ambience are absolutely WOW. Highly recommend!!
Be the first to ReplyGreat place in River North to enjoy shareable Latin meals.
Lots of delicious flavors and options. Also a lot of different types of foods to choose from. Definitely a great place for you and a few friends for drinks and dinner, or a date. The vibe is fun and trendy. We ordered quite a bit of shareable plates and they were all quite filling and had great portion sizes! It was all shareable, and enough to feed at least 2 per plate. Their margaritas were also phenomenal. Get their house margarita and eat your way through dinner. The service was also great. Our server was attentive and helpful. I loved coming here.
Be the first to ReplyThis restaurant was top tier.
Definitely one of my favorite places I've been in Chicago. The flavors of the mussels and the octopus were out of this world. Every dish we tried we kept saying omg! Everything was seasoned and flavored perfectly. There was nothing I would change. You won't find dishes similar to this elsewhere. The restaurant itself was a really cool aesthetic. It's a different experience than other places in river north!! If you have guests in town you want to impress, or a date you want to impress- take them here. Our servers were awesome, attentive and kind, and they cleared the tables and refilled waters so quickly. I love it here.
Be the first to ReplyService and ambiance were great! Food was mediocre.
The guacamole and tetela were good. The octopus was chewy and fishy. The tuna ceviche was warm. The pork was flavorless.
Be the first to ReplyReally enjoyed our experience here.
Beautiful ambience, top notch service, fantastic food and drinks. The food was excellent but highlights from dinner were the guacamole, cochinita pibil, salmon maya, the drinks (the tea was phenomenal) and the seasonal snow man dessert is a must. Definitely would recommend and return here.

I've been here twice and got the lamb barbacoa both times because it is just so good. Great service, beautiful space.
Be the first to ReplyLoved the ambiance and drinks and food was very flavorful.
We ordered the cochinita pibil and troucha as mains but particularly loved the ceviche as a starter. I love that the chef is actually Mexican and there are cards on the table that provide additional background and history as to how the menu connects with the chef. I'd definitely go again.
Be the first to ReplyWay to pricey.
I went for a coworker party of 12. You could literally cook what they cooked at home without needing to pay above $100-200 for a one night outing. You're better off putting that money to better use. The total bill for our entire group was above $2000. Seriously?? They nickle and dime you. This whole restaurant business fad is a scam.

Got a bunch of dishes to share tapas style! Very creative and tasty, loved the decor and atmosphere.

Tzuco never disappoints -- great pick for a night out or weekend brunch. Save room for their super cute (and delicious) seasonal desserts. Service is attentive, and ambiance is upscale but fairly chill.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing dining experience.
Beautiful plates with flavors and tastes that exceeded your expectations. Super unique tasty cocktails. Very attentive staff, always right there. Fun, lively vibe.
Be the first to ReplyFun atmosphere, and most importantly amazing food.
Make sure you're hungry when you go.We had the Cochinita Pibil, Guacamole with Castacán, papas zamoranas, mejillones, and the pomme frites all to share. Everything was a hit.Absolutely save room for dessert, and definitely get the dessert special.The service there is amazing. They knew exactly how much food we needed as a group and gave great recommendations for both food and cocktails.
Be the first to ReplyI had a great experience at Tzuco.
We ordered the octopus, a pork belly special, the trout, broccolini, and hazelnut sponge cake. The octopus was a real highlight and was a true 10/10 dish. Some of the best octopus I've had anywhere. The other major highlights for me were the almond / nut sauce on the broccolini and the sponge cake. The food was well-priced for how nice the restaurant was. The ambiance was excellent, with a fun Mexican desert theme and a beautiful interior. The service was good as well. Overall, I'd highly recommend Tzuco for a high-end date spot or any other occasion.
Be the first to ReplyWent to dinner with my wife for Valentine's Day.
The first dish we had was really good it was the Octopus which was cooked perfectly and was delicious. We also loved the mussels in wine sauce which was also great except the gave you a whole loaf of bread and was messy to cut and not very easy to handle. Then we split the Barbacoa which was ok. For a Mexican insprired restaurant I was a bit disappointed of the lack of heat all of the dishes carried. My favorite was the Rose dessert which was the highlight of the evening. The decor was okay they had dead tree branches all around the restaurant which seem like an afterthought as far as decorations. As far as service it was good but won't be back
Be the first to ReplyA great option for authentic Mexican.
The restaurant is very well designed with cool traditional Mexican artifacts throughout the space.The staff were very friendly and accommodating, allowing us to move our patio reservation indoors. The food was very good- I had the mole old fashioned (interesting), octopus, barbacoa, and the hazelnut cake dessert. Everything was delicious!The portion sizes of the mains seem to be meant for two people so sharing is definitely recommended.Definitely a spot worth a second trip!
Be the first to ReplyLooking for a warm savory meal, look no further than Tzuco.
For starters we were seated with a kitchen view, while some may not like this we found the seats very entertaining and enjoyed watching the kitchen work, and work they did cranking out wonderful dishes with perfection. We started with guacamole and chips, fresh and tasty and the chips had the perfect touch of salt. Next up octopus not sure what was in the dish but the flavors were paired just perfectly. The main course pork shoulder, this fell off the bone and was smothered in flavor, from the salsa to the black beans it was heavenly. Finished off the night with a sponge cake and ice cream, very nice. Overall a fantastic experience.
Be the first to ReplyI wish I could give this place 6 stars!! Everything is
I wish I could give this place 6 stars!! Everything is exceptional and the interior design is just as amazing. Chef Carlos was the first Mexican chef to receive a Michelin star and it is SO deserved. I recommend Tzuco to everyone who comes into town and wants an amazing culinary experience. You have to get the mussels and the carne asada. Trust me!
Be the first to ReplySooooooooooooo disappointed - party of 5 /$800.
00 bill.We all had same experience with our food individually some 2 out of 5 tad bit better than others but all agreed food was average at best and 2 out of 5 entrees flavorless. dinner party ranged in age of 34yrs.old to 55yrs..Location - Great Aesthetic- Stunning Presentation of Food Beautiful Charged for food we never received -several appetizers never came ( charred Avocado - Steak tare tare but was charged I notice when we got home - so LOOK at your receipt before paying Slowest ever service Flavorless food Entitled acting staff although Good Sangria Food really was just sooo bad !!!! and service just saddddddddd.... So funny Ive had 4 friends text - email saying they have had same experience since seeing this post.. so Know it wasn't just an off night.. which I didnt think it was... the behavior came across and they felt way to comfortable with it...Back to food- I honestly would been happy with just "warm kinda tasty food" by the time entrées came we had waited so long to to order and for food...Its just such a great looking place, but so many dishes were bland & everyone tasted everyone else's food that's about 8 appetizers ,5 entrées and two desserts ...all five entrées and appetizers were barely warm, ceviche was watery ...I wish I would of kept it at drive-by and wonder what it's like- then actually experience what it's like...total bumme and a big let down.The server knew it was bad so he decided too add on his own tip that I noticed after I paid... so onto of me tipping 20% (because I was a waiter for many years - so I wouldn't never stiff a waiter or leave a bad tip).. He had to know of known how bad it all was or was worried, I wouldn't tip we'll... IDK He covered his ass with he tip though.*Lesson learned to check my bill no matter how ready I am to get out a place, We were all just so ready to get out of there and never go back when there are sooooooo many great options in Chicago to dine and eat out...**** FOLLOW UP**** reply from owner on google reviews =I responded him inquiring and emailed him, never heard back- following suite with experience.His post asking me to contact him via email was just to save face on here. Faking sincerity.****** FOLLOW UP****** after 1st follow up post - owner still never reached out but had an employee Marina González -Tzuco Communications email me.Final Follow up :Received today:"I understand your frustration; we are all customer service employees handling the reviews and posts on the web; the owner is not involved in any steps of this process. If you are still able and willing to share your experience with me, I would be more than happy to read it and pass your feedback to our team."Thanks Maria pass on my review to staff -I covered it there.Nothing left to discuss. :-) I'm not looking for a free meal or disc. Just telling our experience ..Since I made this post -I have gotten 4 texts, 2 calls and 2 e-mails from friends who all went to Tzuco throughout past couple years just one time each and have not returned.ALL said "Good drinks! Food is"Meh" and Service " just drink more , you wont notice !! " hahahahahaha .. glad to know isn't wasn't just us!... LMAOMoving on :-D

We made lunch plans with our one remaining son who still lives in Chicago and his girlfriend last Sunday, at a place I've walked past 100 times - Tzuco! Their façade is pretty, but kind of nondescript but that's where the commonplaceness stops!Everything about Tzuco is special:The food is absolutely amazing!Us four all ordered something different and all four of us were blown away. I had a lobster taco that was so original and so delicious and plated so beautifully, first time in my life I chose to eat a taco with a knife and fork. My wife had the chef's take on a Mexican cheeseburger. My stoic, demanding wife was also blown away. She rarely uses condiments on anything, but with Tzuco burger she had five salsas lined up in front of her like ducks and used all of them. She was very impressed. My son and his girlfriend had guacamole with pico deallo, lime juice, and huitzuco cheese, also, carne asada with corn masa, flank steak, black beans, sautéed spinach, goat cheese fondue, caramelized onion with fried eggs; they both rolled their eyes while savoring the flavors, it was so good.The service was excellent and the ambiance is lovely.The bar is very creative, especially with their mezcal Bloody Mary.Once, in an infrequent while, you hit upon a "sleeper" restaurant that just does everything right. This was certainly the case with Tzuco!
Be the first to ReplyWhere to begin??? This place was awarded a Bib Gourmand
Where to begin??? This place was awarded a Bib Gourmand award from Michelin. Essentially, it's Michelin quality food but at a more affordable price. I'm so glad I was able to sneak in a reservation for a Thursday night on a 3 day weekend trip. VERY MUCH WORTH IT! The service was impeccable. Our server was a delight and half way through our appetizers as a group we decided we were just going to share everything and order more apps. They cleared our plates and brought us clean ones so nobody had to have a dirty plate in front of them while waiting. Lots of nice touches. For the drinks: As a group of 4 we tried about 7 pr 8 different cocktails. All VERY delicious and you can tell the bartender took his time creating beautiful concoctions. Highlights- the pibil has some cumin on its rim that made it awesome and was reordered. The Mexican city sour comes on fire! The Verano was one of the only vodka based cocktails on the list but was FRESH. Food: Steak tartare - it was great but other appetizers over shadowed it. Tuna Ceviche- my absolutely favorite. There were these little crunchies in it that seriously made the dish. Pulpo- I picked this restaurant because octopus is my favorite. It was cooked perfectly. Mushroom Cazuela- this could seriously be an entree. It is a giant bowl of seasoned mushrooms with goat cheese and comes with tortillas to eat taco style. A real crowd favorite. Pescadilla- a stuffed squid ink tortilla with fish. I only tried the end of the pocket and thought it was a little dry, but it was very flavorful and everyone else liked it so I think I just had a bad bite. Chile Relleno- technically an entree but easy enough to split. Everything we would have hoped for. You would not be disappointed if you ordered this. The star of the show was the "tomato fondue" that was rich and creamy and beyond flavorful. Dessert: maiz azafran- so delightful. A saffron ice cream that wasn't too over powering and a toffee topped sweet cornbread. The perfect pairing! All the dishes were plated BEAUTIFUL. I loved being close to the kitchen to see them at the pass and making everything gorgeous. You need to try this place if you are ever in Chicago!
