Tzuco — a River North mexican mainstay. There's real intention behind the cocktail list. Friendly without hovering. "The Duck Waffle here is absolutely irresistible perfectly crispy skin" — Peachy Chan

The Food was amazing we got the tetela fill of tinga really good, ceviche is ok but nothing special, pollo en mole it was amazing the chicken was tender and super flavored, for desert we got arroz con leche an cacao, cacao is good but arroz con leche is on another level. if you visit order this desert you won't regret it. Overall it was great , well worth it.

“The food was excellent — creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented.”
The food was excellent — creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish had layers of taste and texture. The only downside was the cocktails, which were much lighter than expected. Still, amazing dining experience overall!

“Excellent Choice for a Large Group Dinner.”
Excellent Choice for a Large Group Dinner! I had three recommendations for our group dinner of 14 people, and I am so glad I selected Tzuco! Everything about the evening was fantastic. The food was delicious and served promptly, which is impressive for a large party. Our server was excellent, offering great suggestions (especially for the few vegetarians in our group) and checking in with us several times throughout the evening. Highly recommend Tzuco for a successful group event!

“Overall fantastic.”
Overall fantastic! Lauren our waitress was 10/10! Vibes were great Appetizers: mussels and Tetelas were MINDBLOWING! Main: shared the carne asada which had a great queso sauce Recommendation would be to go get a bottle of wine and just order a bunch of apps to split and share everything

“I’m usually not a fan of duck, but this place completely changed my mind.”
I’m usually not a fan of duck, but this place completely changed my mind! The Duck Waffle here is absolutely irresistible perfectly crispy skin, tender and juicy meat, paired with a slightly sweet and savory waffle. I actually come to Tzuco at least once a month just to have my favorite dish again 😋. Besides the food, I absolutely love the atmosphere the design. The staff so friendly and helpful. ✨ My personal recommendations: • Shrimp Ceviche – fresh, tangy, and perfectly balanced • Duck Waffle – my absolute favorite • Beef Tartare – top-quality meat and great flavor Tzuco is a restaurant that’s not just about good food, but a full experience — delicious dishes,

“Absolutely delicious.”
Absolutely delicious! We had the Pibil cocktail, guac & crispy pork belly, tetela, and the cochinita pibil, all ridiculously good. And you cannot skip the desserts here. 10/10

“Really memorable dining experience here.”
Really memorable dining experience here! Each dish was bursting with depth and flavor. Some of the best guacamole I’ve had. The carne asada with goat cheese fondue was the perfect bite. The Maíz dessert was a tasty optical illusion. The margaritas were lovely as well. Friendly and attentive staff. A great spot to celebrate something special!
