We stopped in for drinks - the margaritas were excellent and the service even better. Very friendly and accommodating and can’t wait to return to try the food which smelled delicious!

We came to celebrate my husband's birthday. I ordered a steak fajita. I left more than half plate. It was very salty. It was hard to the tongue. My husband ordered a pina coloda. It wasn't made the right way. We had to ask then to remake it. I paid full price for everything we order. We don't need anything free. We just had high expectations on the food. Service and environment were find. Definitely, not coming back.

I enjoy the interesting selection of margaritas. Each one is very different and delicious, but I especially like the tamarind one.Food is fantastic too but I come for the margaritas and I’m not really a “drinker “.

I'm just leaving this place, and I have to share my experience with all of you!Cescas Margarita Bar and Grill is truly a place of authentic Mexican cuisine, offering a culinary experience that transported me straight to the heart of Mexico City. My visit here was an awesome journey through flavors, ambiance, and hospitality.The Enchiladas de Mole were the highlight of my dining experience, a dish that perfectly encapsulated the chef's deep roots in Mexico City's rich culinary traditions. The mole sauce, with its intricate blend of spices and chocolate, was both rich and elegantly balanced, providing a luxurious coating to the tender chicken-stuffed enchiladas. What elevated this dish further was the generous topping of Queso Fresco, adding a fresh and creamy texture that beautifully contrasted with the complexity of the mole, creating a harmonious interplay of flavors.Accompanying this exquisite dish was the Margarita Clasica, a masterpiece of mixology that showcased the rare and high-quality Tequila Hacienda, a reposado Cristalino, not commonly found in Chicago. This premium tequila, combined with lime juice, agave nectar, and an innovative touch of edible charcoal, resulted in a drink that was both smooth and deeply flavorful. The addition of black salt on the rim added a visually striking and flavorful twist, making each sip a memorable experience for me.The ambiance, along with the attentive and warm service, created an inviting atmosphere that mirrored the vibrant spirit of Mexico City. It's this blend of authentic, carefully prepared dishes, exceptional ingredients, and genuine hospitality that makes this place my new favorite Mexican restaurant.With its unparalleled dedication to authenticity, exceptional ingredients like the Tequila Hacienda, and a warm, inviting atmosphere, Cescas Margarita Bar and Grill is a culinary treasure in Andersonville, that I wholeheartedly recommend as a must-try destination for anyone seeking the true essence of Mexican cuisine in Chicago.

I’ve eaten here many times. They have a large back patio that is nice in the summer. Be sure to have enough time, their service is slow, they also charge extra for chips and salsa.I really enjoy mole and theirs is very spicy, just a heads up. It’s too spicy for me. If you like spice give it a shot.

3rd time, and all 3 times have been great. The food is delicious, very good customer service, and close to work so it's been a decent, chill, Friday after-work spot for a few of us. Affordable food menu, drink menu also nice!Parking: Parking can be challenging depending on the time of day. Metered parking on Clark, limited neighborhood parking.

The servers knew we were there for a good time. Just taking orders and keeping the bustling bar restaurant moving. Go for the maragaritas and stay for the food.

The atmosphere was wonderful. Outside in Chicago in October with 80 degree weather, also delightful. The food was good and all the drinks were from the area. The service was a little slow, but it is not worth being in a rush anyway.

Surprised to find that 3 more Tequila cousins that I had never heard about. And they were all great. We tasted Raicilla, Sokol and Bacanora for the first time. If you like tequila, you have to try Sotol and Bacanora.

Amazing patio outback, but maybe a little short staffed when we were there. Took a long time to get our order in and a long time to get the food. But the wait was worth it, the food was astounding. Perhaps the best Mole in Chicago.

My party got sat in the patio that was kinda cute. Chips and salsa are a paid appetizer, which is a shame because they might serve the most mediocre chips I've had at a Mexican restaurant in Chicago.Ordered margaritas that didn't show up until well after the food did- additionally, the rice and beans (that you have to order from the side menu) took so long to show up, my friend finished the rest of their food before the waiter finally brought them. We ordered tacos and a torta- they were all fine but didn't make up for the bad service.Can't imagine ever coming back here
