Los Andanes — Portage Park food that sets the standard. Rooted in technique and tradition throughout. The staff makes it feel personal, and family-run. Edwin sinchi: "My friend and I both got the arrachera dinner"

“The food was fresh and made to order—the chips, salsa, and guacamole were delicious, and my friend’s steak tacos were packed with meat”
We really wanted to like the food, but the carne was awful. Tough and gristly. Will not return.
If I could give no stars I would. The one thing good about this restaurant is the service because it is NOT the food.

“Amazing and affordable food ✓.”
Amazing and affordable food ✓. Warm and welcoming staff ✓. Comfortable and family-friendly space ✓. My sister heard great things about Los Andanes, so we went there to celebrate her birthday. We had a fairly large group, including kids, and everyone loved the food and service. (Note: Make sure to call in advance for a larger group of 6+ so they can try to seat you together.) They give you free chips and fresh mango salsa, which I would have gladly paid for. Definitely order the horchata or cucumber-lime agua fresca to drink. The carne asada fries were a perfect appetizer—highly recommend. We probably should have split a bunch of dishes, because the portions were VERY generous. I had the quesabirria as my main and the filling was not only delicious, but packed, and the consumé was flavorful. At the end of the meal, our server surprised my sister with a birthday cake! Los Andanes went above and beyond to make sure she enjoyed her celebration. I’ve been to plenty of restaurants in Chicago for birthdays, but this one was memorable. Seriously, Los Andanes is the perfect spot for a casual meal or special occasion. Thank you, Los Andanes!!!

“Omgggg this place was SO good.”
Omgggg this place was SO good. My friends and I wanted to support a Belmont Cragin small business and this did NOT disappoint. The carne asada tacos sent me straight to heaven and they were HUGE!!! So worth the money. The service was also really great! I can’t wait to go back.

“I had a great feeling about this place based on the reviews.”
I had a great feeling about this place based on the reviews. I was craving Mexican food in Wicker Park, and it didn’t disappoint. The restaurant was clean, and the owner was so kind. The food was fresh and made to order—the chips, salsa, and guacamole were delicious, and my friend’s steak tacos were packed with meat. The horchata was the best I’ve ever had! I’ll definitely return when I’m in the city. This family-owned business definitely deserves the attention. Must-try place!

First time trying take-out from this nice little restaurant in Belmont Cragin, and it was so delicious! The Flautos as an appetizer was excellent- fresh pico de gallo and avocado on top. Also the chicken enchiladas were great, sauce was tasty and good amount of food, I think 4-5 enchiladas! Also tried the steak Torta. We’ll definitely be back to try more! Service was very fast and friendly

Amazing! Absolutely amazing! This time, I came here and ordered the Tampiqueña dinner. It was absolutely perfect! 2 plates! 😅 Totally worth it. 👌 Oh, and you get the free Mexican chips and salsa. 😍

“By far the best Mexican food I've had in Chicago.”
By far the best Mexican food I've had in Chicago. The portions are generous, and there are plenty of options for vegetarians. I especially enjoyed the potato flautas, and the in-house hot sauces are the best I've had anywhere. The interior is comfortable and well-decorated, so I highly recommend dining in.

“I came for dinner with a friend and we both had las enchiladas rojas estilo jalisco with horchata...”
I came for dinner with a friend and we both had las enchiladas rojas estilo jalisco with horchata (we picked this because the menu flavors are inspired by Jalisco and we wanted authentic food). Everything was incredible!!! The owners are so kind, the service is excellent, there are beautiful murals and art, and the entire restaurant is so clean. We were having such a good time that we stayed a bit past closing and when we realized and went to pay the check, the owner told us: no se apuren, siempre serán bienvenidas acá en casa 🥺🥰 Will definitely be back again! Update: The quesabirria was amazing -- me sentí renová! No se la pierdan los fines de semana y con excelente servicio como siempre!
