Better than Frontera! I found Salpicon way back in 96 when I went to Frontera Grill and was told I had to wait 1.5 hours to be seated. We then walked out rather disappointed and we were overheard by a member of the staff discussing where we would go... very quietly we were instructed to try Salpicon and given the address and off we went. We didn't have to wait to be seated when we arrived and the food was incredible... I have sent friends, entertained customers and always leave with happy people. I go back there every visit ... read more

Long time customer Consistently high standards and perfectly prepared food. Only once did we have a bad experience in over ten years of coming to Salpicon and I think that that was just an accident, a waiter having a difficult evening.

GREAT service We have ordered the special menu of Salpicon that is roasted butternut squash soup garnished with smoky chile chipotle and caramelized pumpkin seeds. The food was above expectations. The service was great. We also had a good chicken dishes. This could be a Best Mexican Restaurant in Chicago. This was a very good place. Food was generally pretty good, and they were flexible about substituting my sides. Service was fine; friendly but the timing of the courses was off. Good chicken dishes. Best place to get Mexica... read more

The taste was superb – Food quality was great I loved my Huevos Motuleos and will be back sometime soon. Foods are ron the whole. The food was cooked well enough and the taste was superb.

Honest food – I had the Tinga Poblana and I could find no fault with it, nice portions and the flavors were to die for. Can't wait to go back again. Lovely food, we ordered mostly off the specials menu. Every dish was well thought out, well cooked, and well-presented. Nice decor, stylish and crowded in a good way. Staff were great, especially the head waiter who was onto everything.A great place to eat out with the family especially in summer when the place is really buzzing. The staff are always friendly and the service ver... read more

Very attractive atmosphere and excellent food They have a varied menu, great food and atmosphere. In addition, live music on some nights. Highly recommended. This should be one of the top Mexican restaurant in Chicago. We have ordered A poblano chile stuffed with huitlacoche they have served in a roasted poblano cream sauce and an ancho chile filled with potatoe. It is one of the Nice Mexican Restaurant in Chicago. It was so good, reasonable prices, and GREAT service! You must try the burger as it was one of the best I've ev... read more
