A nice dinner – My husband and I went to Salpicon for our anniversary (we initially wanted to go to Nacional 27 but they are closed on Sundays, so we were hoping that Salpicon would at least fill our need for Latin American food). We made our reservations through Open Table and mentioned that it would be our anniversary. When we arrived, we were wished a happy anniversary and seated at a table by the front. The view was nice, but the table was a little small and the nook felt crowded. I had the Salpicon margarita, which was ... read more
Overrated – This place is just OK. I tried it because of the great newspaper reviews and was disappointed. Six tiny shrimp swimming in bland sauce. I'd go elsewhere for the money
Not what I expected – The food was good, not amazing. The ambiance was nil- overly bright and way too crowded. I'd probably not go there again by choice.
Overpriced Mexican food – This restaurant receives many raves, but i thought that the food and drink for what they charge was very dissapointing. We have great mexican restaurants in this city and i would not quickly go back to this spot.
A wonderful dining experience! – Had a reservation for Friday at 8:00; were seated promptly, Server knew her stuff about tequila. Turned us on to one of the many tequila flights they had. We took her recommendations on dinner and were not disappointed (stuffed jalapenos, squash blossoms with goat cheese, spinach salad with chipotle honey dressing, Alaskan halibut and lamb loin chops. Fantastic! Michael, the sommelier, recommended a bottle of Australian Grenache that complemented everything we ordered. Although the restaurant... read more
Mex-i-can't do it again! – Surprisingly crowded on a Monday night, the vibrant decor, colorful artwork and atmosphere complimented the few interesting costumes worn by the good-looking staff for Halloween. Luckily, this was a distraction from snooty, sometime snail-like service (understaffed?), and somewhat bland entrees. Great salsa and guac were detracted by mediocre chips (how about fresh made chips?). The Oaxacan mole's earthiness nicely complimented the pork, served with plantains and pineapple, but my partner's chile r... read more
More fuss then it's deserved – Got there before 11Pm on saturday, we were told we couldn't order dinner but we could go to the bar. We (2person) ordered margaritas and bartender offered us the bar menu, and said we could order some apetizers, then the host came over to the bar e told the bartender he couldn't take any order, and it upseted me not for not be able to order but, the way the host came about it no class at all. So I couldn't say much about the food as we were not able to. About margaritas??? It was the worst I've... read more
Best Mexican dining experience in Chicago! – Everything we ate was amazing; the flavors were balanced and exciting. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and funny. If you would like to drink something other than margaritas, try one of the MANY wines available and dont be shy to ask for help with the extensive wine list. The Gruner Veltliner we drank during our last visit was perfectly delicious and complemented everything we ate. I cant say enough good things about this restaurant!
THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – I have been going to Salpicon since it opened. The quality of the food, service and wine/ tequila selections are unmatched! Excellent seafood selections, enjoy soft shell crab season.
