“I am not a sports person at all but seeing the bears’ last game was so fun because of Moe’s River North! Very spacious, good and diverse music, super nice and fun staff, and yummy food! We ordered Elotes, ribeye tacos, chips and guac, wings, and the margarita tower which was a nice presentation - the strawberry and mango margs were my favorite! Customer service and management was so great - we were constantly checked in on and didn’t have to wait long for anything we ordered throughout the night and were given recommendations! I can’t wait to come back.”
“Fantastic place, reasonable prices, best tacos and magical atmosphere!!!”
“Pretty well club to go hangout at. My brother and I first time going. Meet a few cool people in there.”
“The churro cheesecake was delicious and exactly what we need after the great meals and drinks.”
“I had an amazing experience at Moe’s Cantina in River North during the holiday season! The Christmas spirit was truly alive in the atmosphere, with festive decorations and cheerful music enhancing the overall vibe. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to make our visit special. It was a perfect spot to enjoy delicious food and drinks while soaking in the holiday cheer. I highly recommend Moe’s Cantina for anyone looking to celebrate the season in a fun and festive environment!”
“Great spot in River North for food and drinks. Super fun decorations in the holiday times. Also thank you Bella for the great service!!”
“The $8 thin fries are amazing. Light and crispy and soft inside. Not salty and just right. The elote was too much flavor for me and I don’t like even a little spicy. The loaded fries with cilantro and sour cream and optional meat got soggy fast so I would stick to the regular fries if you like crispy. The ambiance is nice and great for sports watching. The mango margarita was yummy with lots of real mango pureee. Staff are great!”
“This didn’t start off pleasant because I reserved for one thing for my birthday and couldn’t receive the service. However, The manger Chuck was super duper reassuring, accommodating and made my party a party! The food was delicious the service was EXCELLENT. Only thing I would suggest is they accommodate their guest with chips and salsa on arrival and reaching out when things change.”
“Came for happy hour, we tried the nachos with chicken and some of the tacos as well as a margarita. The food was slightly above average and the drinks were okay but overall good considering the happy hour pricing.”
“⭐️ 1 star — Extremely disappointing. Read before dining This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had, especially considering the very high prices. The food quality was poor and absolutely not worth what they charge. We spent a significant amount of money and left feeling completely ripped off. The situation was made much worse by the nonprofessional manager and crew. The manager was rude, dismissive, and untrained in basic customer service, and the staff showed no care or accountability. This is unacceptable behavior for any restaurant, let alone one charging premium prices. On top of everything, the restrooms were dirty and poorly maintained, which is a huge red flag and honestly disgusting. Cleanliness should be the bare minimum. Between the overpriced low-quality food, unprofessional management and staff, and dirty restrooms, I strongly warn others to avoid this place. There are far better options that actually respect their customers”
“Went on halloween, why promote something as free when it’s not? Was on guest list and got there at 10pm. didn’t get in until 12 am, and when i went in even though the flyer said ladies free they were charging a 30$ cover and when i mentioned being on the guest list they said “guest list doesn’t exist”. not to be a stickler but why promote an event as something when it isn’t? Supposedly there was 5$ margs from 10-11 and 8$ shots all night, asked the bartender and they said nope.”
