5 Rabanitos - Chicago

Best Cochinita Pibil I?ve tried around the Chicago area. Tried this place after few colleagues recommended their 3 milk?s cake. Which it was not disappointing at all. The sope with the cochinita pibil was my favorite. Perfect amount of meat, beans, pickedonions and cheese. The shrimp empanadas were also good, you basically get two empanadas cut into half?s. It is in the priceyside, I don?t mind paying if the food quality is right. Only downfall was customer service could be attentive. I did order aheadof time because of the amount of reviews that stated they have very slow service. I ordered through their website. Which wasconvenient.

Friendly and knowledgeable service, absolutely delicious food (omg I cannot even explain how yummy this food was. And sat so well in the stomach, too), unique dishes, tasty and fun tequila drinks, and to top it all off: great mole! And a fun Plantainappetizer ???? What's not to love? Highly recommended. P.S. Mexican Coca-Cola available ????????

First time there. Food and service was good. It was pretty loud in there with people talking way louder than they needed to.

Really enjoyed dinner here. We came on a Monday night and the place was bustling! Friendly and attentive service, our server gave us great suggestions when we asked. Delicious food, loved the smokey carne special that comes in a great sauce with beans and onions. Next time will definitely try the margaritas Second visit on 12/23/23 even better. This time I was with a larger group and we tried more dishes. We had the octopus and potato appetizer, the shrimp tacos, street elotitos, fish of the day special, and the carne special from last time. Same wonderful service and homey atmosphere.

I must say, the hubby and I were greedy and tried a few items! Everything was spectacular. The portion size is nice, so I had a few leftovers. On the menu we tried: Taquitos Ahogados Pork Belly Chorizo Taco Green Chicken Tamale Carne Asade Taco Dinner Crispy Chicken Milanesa with Garlic Mash Potatoes You could taste the passion in the food. Everything I tasted felt like a nice warm hug. My tastebuds were very happy! If visiting on the weekends, I highly recommend making reservations. We went during the weeknight with reservations, and the seats were filling up pretty quickly.
