The Outpost Mexican Eatery

“Some very bomb chilequiles.”

Some very bomb chilequiles! An oasis off the beaten path, and directly across the street from Union Station. I was given a warm welcome greeting by the lovely woman at the counter. I was surprised to have had my food brought to me which just feels like the extra mile and i very much appreciated the service! The Chilequiles was beautifully presented, and cooked to perfectiong. The chips where saucy and with a slight crisp, the crema was tart and fresh, and the cilantro could not have vern fresher. The entire restaurant was spotless even in spite of the St Patties day traffic. I WILL be coming again when I am in the city! Check it out

“I ordered Take out from here.”

I ordered Take out from here. Got a quesadilla with ground beef, this was perfectly juicy from the beef grease (it wasn’t dripping which sometimes that could be too much), and I love so much there’s a lot of flavor in the beef with onion. I also love they give you a few cups of salsa and sour cream. Elote was delicious, too. Service was nice and quick

This might be one of the best southwest salad bowls I've had! The shrimp was grilled perfectly and the fresh avocado was a nice touch. Portion size was also fantastic.

Excellent food. Great customer service. Easily accessible. I had the burrito bowl and it was delicious. I must have been one of the first customers of the day, I saw them prepping the serving station. All food is made fresh. This is authentic Mexican food. They also provide catering services.

I was staying at the holiday inn right next door and got carry out from The Outpost. So yummy!!! I should have taken more pics. The chicken quesadillas were real big and full of all the chicken I could’ve wanted and the nachos and barilla tacos were just perfect! And the staff was so sweet! Go there

No better spot in Chicago to fuel up and relax before hopping on a bus and going Greyhound! A two-minute walk to the W.Harrison Street terminal! Their torta is top notch!

“Great atmosphere and customer service.”

Great atmosphere and customer service. Waitress friendly and helped me make decision. I got the Al Pastor Burrito a la cart and added raw onions. Food was great. Veggies fresh, crispy and crunchy, they even added corn which was a different but satisfying experience. I Love Veggies and am very critical about them when dining out. They didn't let me down. The Al Pastor was fresh, clean and full of pineapple flavor. Will def make this my burrito spot and get the name of the cook. When I do come back, I'm gonna make sure he's here. BTW his name is Paciente'. Thank you!
