La Cocina — honest mexican in River North. Cocktail menu runs deeper than expected. Hospitality you can feel from the door, and family-run. Daniel Kassl: "The steak tacos were really well seasoned and I enjoyed the sides"

“Tony and team are excellent at what they do.”
Tony and team are excellent at what they do. Damn good food. It’s a simple yet hard concept many restaurants in the loop struggle to grasp. The food is affordable , the vibes immaculate and the service top tier. Highly recommend for lunch , dinner or just a post work happy hour!

I ordered the combination chicken and steak fajitas for pickup and it is one of the most flavorful things I’ve tried in a while. It comes with beans, rice, a side salad (with a scoop of guac!!), multiple tortillas and salads. So good. Will be ordering again.

“Great place for lunch or quick cocktail.”
Great place for lunch or quick cocktail. I used to go to the original location on Jackson before they closed. Followed them to Wells and here. They also own Spanglish on State Street. Check them out. Family owned.

Every Wednesday, they have a DJ from 5-8pmish. A cute Latin bar and restaurant right in the loop, so glad I discovered it. They can accommodate large groups with advanced notice.

“I had some flautas, they were pretty much spot on flavor-wise.”
I had some flautas, they were pretty much spot on flavor-wise. The salsas were also authentic. The only thing a bit off was the rice. They sell Mexican Coke which is greatly appreciated after being away from Mexico for a while. Service was good and quick, the only con I see is that it's a bit pricey.
