Great Upscale Mexican dining – This restaurant is perfect for a special occasion. The food is prepared beautifully and the flavor matches the presentation. We had made reservations for 8:30pm and arrived early. The host kindly seated us early. You will pay extra for all items, including the drinks (and it's worth it). If you prefer margaritas when they use natural lime juice rather than the typical "lime syrup", the margarita is top-shelf.

heavenly! – Just had a fantastic dinner last night with friends. The food at Salpicon was superb and the service was right on! Great wine list with extensive verticals and fair prices. Will be back soon!

Very Pretentious. The food is adequate, the service is very, very yuppie. The price does not match the food, the service or the environs of the restaurant. Again, the word that comes to mind is Oh, so pretentious, Stay away!

Great Eclectic Mexican – Don't expect burritos, chimis and enchiladas here, although they may exist as a special appetizer. This restaurant specializes in the presentation of great food accentuated with mexican spices and decor. The shrimp queso appetizer reminded me of a dish found in downtown Cancun. Grilled shrimp in Chihuahua cheese served with homemade corn tortilla's. Excellent. My wife had the grilled shrimp entree. The shrimp were very tender and bursting with flavor. I had pork tenderloin with salsa plus avacado sau... read more

great food! – I had no problem making reservations on a Saturday early eve for 3 friends. The restaurant is colorful and kind of cozy with the dim lighting. My guests were not familiar with authentic Mexican. But they ordered polle con mole poblano, lamb chops, pork chops, and I had the pescado al carbon. Everyone liked what they ordered. Food was flavorful and very good. For dessert, tried the trio de pinas. If you like pineapple this is a good one! Total tab was $45 per person. I will definitely try Salpicon again!

Mexican at it's finest! – Can't be beat. I haven't found anything yet that matches quality, ambiance and availability (getting a reservation!). Execellent selection/knowledge of tequila's and drinks are made very well.

A great place for a "splash" of taste! – An excellent restaurant where the atmosphere and service are first rate. The food is great and always enjoyable. My favorite restaurant in the whole city!!

Salud, Pesetas y Amor! – Simply the best upscale (or any) Mexican food in Chicago! Great wait staff, wonderful owners, and the chef--Priscila Satkoff--has created a superb menu. Jaime at the bar is the best! This is the gem of Old Town dining. Don't miss it.
