The BEST! – AWESOME FOOD, DECOR AND SERVICE -- cannot go wrong by going here. I tried this restaurant last night and it was amazing. We had the mango shrimp appetizer -- it was so good... it was shrimp served witha light mango sauce... with chunky gaucamole on the side with a few chips --(the gaucamole had no onion)--- it was super fresh and tasty! We then tried the pork tacos which were the best tacos I have ever had. We also got the shredded chicken tacos -- also very very good. But I liked the pork better ... which I usua... read more

Best experience yet in Chicago! – I just returned from a trip to chicago and had the opportunity to try a whirlwind of different restaurants. Although I dined at some fine dining establishments in the city (Le Colonial, Le Lan, Spring), my experience at Salud was defnitely the best overall. First of all, the magaritas were fantastic, and this is coming from a girl who lives in Texas where the art of a good margaria is taken very seriously. I had the tradicional margarita and it was perfect, not sour and tart. And the FOOD! I... read more

HIdden modern gem – Finally, a real lounge on Milwaukee. This place, with its live DJ (no, not a club) sets the relaxed but urban professional tone. Waitresses and bouncers were extra friendly and you can actually have a refined drink at this place and not feel like a snob (as opposed to the dime a dozen pubs on this street). If you can grab a booth, you can sit back and watch the talent walk by.

So much more than a bar with food – Yes, they have a bar -- and great tequila flights, and the some of the best margaritas we've ever had. But the food -- this is a great restaurant! We shared a couple of appetizers and an entree -- hands down it's some of the best Mexican food we've had in Chicago -- heck, in the US. Make reservations (they take them) -- although the staff was extremely nice about seating us without them. Service was wonderful -- our waitress was fun, efficient, and fast. We'll definitely be back -- with fr... read more

Best Margaritas! – LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the margaritas. No Pepcid required, because there is NO cheap sours mix used here! Only fresh lime juice, agave sugar, and good tequila. I love the Tradicional. For a sweeter taste, try the Pomegranate. I can't get over how great the fresh juices make a margarita. Appetizers are always half price M-F 5-8 pm-- great small plates to go with the drinks. Funky, fun music makes a nice background. Good people watching on Milwaukee Ave from the outside patio.

Hacienda warmth and a cool lounge vibe at this stylish tequila bar in Wicker Park. – The Scene Warm lighting, earth tones and a sexy Latin techno beat have this lounge exuding style from the get-go. Canoodling couples and small neighborhood groups slide into deep semicircular banquettes lining the perimeter of the front room. Behind the bar, a dramatic sculpted tree stretches before a wall of back-lit niches filled with tequila bottles. Low couches in the back room, a copper ceiling and wrought-iron chandeliers complete the ... read more
