About this business
Everything we serve is made from scratch, from the margaritas to the tortillas that are hand-pressed to order. It’s all fresh at De Cero - which is loosely translated as "from scratch". At De Cero, we’re known for our 15 different tacos, served a la carte or ordered in a shared platter of eight. Everything you can think of: grilled ahi tuna taco with mango habenero salsa, grilled skirt steak taco with potatoes and chipotle mayo, roasted raja pepper taco with cheese, or the amazing battered shrimp taco with avocad... read more

Tasty and Modern Twist on Taqueria – Do not come here expecting your usual Mexican food restaurant! This is a place for a fun and modern take on Mexican food. The taco platter is the best bet if you have more than one person, let everyone pick a few that they want to try and share. The rajas tacos and the braised duck tacos haunt my dreams in the best possible way!! Spoil yourself with fun and unusual cocktails like the Strawberry Mint Margarita or the Raspberry Basil Daquiri and don't forget dessert! I like to order the man... read more

Loud and overpriced – Ok the food at De Cero is good, I will give them that. The steak on the steak tacos was not your regular skirt steak, but meaty chunks of meat. However, I think the prices are a bit outrageous. $3.00 for horchata (Mexican rice water drink, was bland and tasteless), $3.00 for a Jarrito (Mexican soda) and they even charge $1.00 for jalape?os! I'm not being petty, but I have dined at many Mexican restaurants where you don't have to pay for chips and salsa, they are complimentary. My husband and I got the T... read more
Go for drinks and chips/guac, NOT for the food... – Went with a group of friends for Cinco de Mayo. The margaritas were delicious, and the chips and guacamole were great. But beware of the food, which was pretty much way over-priced and tasteless. Especially the fish tacos, which were not cooked thoroughly and my boyfriend ended up throwing up the entire night, gross. My advice, if you're going to go, just go for drinks and chips...if at all.
good mexican food – Seems they are not ready for large groups. No serving utensils unless asked, no salt and pepper.Need to give patrons dishes to fit the size of food. We got small saucer size dishes for quesadilla's that hung over the plate. We got larger plates when we asked for them. They need more practice on serving the food and what to put on the table. They do serve more than enough food for everyone. The guacamole was awesome, I could have eaten the whole bowl of it. The workers were very cordial and pleasant. I wil... read more
It's OK – Went for a work event - not in a private room. It's a nice, clean, cute, small, chic restaurant. Service was good. Don't expect traditional Mexican flavors or you'll set yourself up for disappointment. If you are looking to try something a little different in the Mexican genre, then this is your place.
mediocre tacos at incredibly high prices (and poor service) – You will be disappointed if you have ever eaten at a good taqueria (in Mexico, the Southwest, or Chicago-- for that matter) for these are tacos made from factory tortillas, and with insipid white cheese. The meats are savory for the most part, especially the beef. They also have fancy furniture, techno music, and the possiblity of bragging about having eaten a duck taco. Their best perk, is a large selection of tequila (but very expensive). Their salsa and guac. a... read more
Great food, great fun! – I am really surprised at the previous reviews. I've been to De Cero several times and have always had an outstanding experience. I haven't strayed much from the tacos and the duck nachos, but they are always amazing. When I go with a group, we always get a sampler platter of every taco available (I think there are over 10) and each one is delicious! The atmosphere is fantastic and the service has always been superb (considering how busy it usually is). I give the place an A! p.s. Great tequila select... read more
Great! – This place is awesome! Great atmosphere, good food and fabulous drinks. The person who composed the previous review should really learn to spell.
