“Came here last night for a solo dinner at the bar.”

Came here last night for a solo dinner at the bar. The tequila/mezcal old fashioned was just fantastic, the shishitos with cotija cheese were probably the best shishitos I've ever had, and the chicken flautas were kind of perfect. Wonderful attentive service. I would come back anytime and in fact I'm looking forward to that already. Thank you!

“In the heart of Skokie, a treasure I found, Libertad is its name, the best spot around.”

In the heart of Skokie, a treasure I found, Libertad is its name, the best spot around. Every dish on the menu, crafted with care, A feast full of flavor, a love affair. The chefs in the kitchen, their talent shines bright, Mark and Marcos create pure culinary delight. With every bite, a journey unfolds, From mole to chimichurri, each taste pure gold. Come, come and taste, you won’t regret, From anywhere to Skokie, this is your best bet. With cocktails made with passion and skill, Libertad is a dream, a place to fulfill. The roasted half chicken, with mole so bold, Sweet potato purée, a story retold. The branzino pan-seared, with sauce rich and bright, A bite full of magic, pure joy and delight. The short ribs so tender, with chiles so fine, And skirt steak with yuca, a dish so divine. Crispy papas bravas, with chile and lime, Every plate on the table, a taste so sublime. The staff is so friendly, the talks full of cheer, Each visit feels special, you’ll want to stay here. Here in Skokie, where parking is free, Libertad is a journey of pure ecstasy.

“The food was delicious I had a half Reuben and a tomato bisque soup with apple juice for a drink.”

The food was delicious I had a half Reuben and a tomato bisque soup with apple juice for a drink. I only left out one star because the drink menu could be improved the juice was small and a little over priced.

“Don’t let the location fool you, this place is a hidden gem.”

Don’t let the location fool you, this place is a hidden gem. The food and drinks are 10/10. This Latin American/ Mexican food is authentic yet elevated. There is so much flavor and it just melts in your mouth. The drinks take you back to original Mexico, real tequila and mezcal. Not watered down at all on the contrary they are strong !Overall love how lowkey this place is and you truly get to savor and enjoy your drink. Definitely worth the drive and will definitely be returning !

“Best was the steak skirt.”

Best was the steak skirt! Ambiance was great! Price on the higher side so value is 4 star but service is superb!!!! Chicken was also great BUT note that it'd take about 30 min. :) Had a great time!

“This is probably my favorite restaurant in the area, hands down.”

This is probably my favorite restaurant in the area, hands down. Service is great and the food is remarkable. The grilled octopus is out of this world. I'll just let the pictures talk. Highly recommend.

“Made a reservation because we had a show at the theater across the street.”

Made a reservation because we had a show at the theater across the street. The food was phenomenal! We first started with the Queso de Cabra & Patatas con La Huancaina. Of the 2 the queso was my favorite. The sauce had the right bit of heat & with the goat cheese they complimented each other. We finished with the Camarones & Flautas. Both were large portions for a tapas restaurant. The blue polenta was cooked perfectly & my husband even liked the shrimp! We accompanied our meals with a glass of Malbec & Carmenere & ordered the La Dragona but I’ve confirmed I don’t like mezcal so our waitress had another drink made right away. Great place for a date night! We’d love to come back if on the north side again. Compliments to the chef!
