“I got the chimichanga with beef and horchata and it was delicious!! The owners were super kind and helpful as well”

“Always have a great time here! The service is great. Would recommend the margaritas (both large and strong), especially when they have the Thursday special!”

“Love SOTB! Ana is the best! Snacks and a tropical drink vibe on this Chicago winter night! 🍹”

“"Stumbled upon this place by accident and so glad I did! Loved the tuna tacos and shrimp gambas al ajillo—the garlic was absolutely on point. The server was kind and recommended the Cadillac margarita, which hit the spot. What a great find!"”

“Best and maybe only JIbarito in Rogers Park! Excellent margaritas as well.”

“My friends and I come here regularly. If you’re just coming to eat, it’s going to be a very cheap night with excellent food and service. But once their killer margaritas start flowing, the night can go on and on. They have any flavor marg you can think of and they’re always happy to help you choose if you’re overwhelmed. Also, surprisingly, pretty good buffalo wings. Unsurprisingly, good dessert options as well. Will be coming back often!”

“This tuna tostada was the best i have ever had in my life. Marg big as all life. EXCELLENT hh.”

“I had a cheeseburger and fries, and a small soup they give you. It was so yummy! And looked pretty too , my server was so nice too”

“Amazing food and great service. And the drinks were strong and tasty 🍸”
