Restaurant/Cafe
Lovely evening, outstanding sauces and dishes. Authentic anfd of great quality. No wonder why this is the fave place of my associates.
This is a family affair: Priscila runs the kitchen and her husband, Vincent, runs the front of the house. And while many an upscale Mexican restaurant have come and gone over the years, this one forges on. We enjoy the inviting, stylish surroundings as well as the top-rate selection of tequilas and wines. But the real star of this show is the food. The restaurant prepares one of the best mole...
A "standout", thanks to chef Priscila Satkoff's "command of regional cuisine", this Old Town Mexican "hits all the notes" with "inventively prepared" "authentic cuisine" paired with "tremendous margaritas", "tequilas galore" and an "outstanding wine list"; "helpful" staffers lend a "warm" feel in the "colorful" space, so somewhat costly tabs barely register for those deeming it an "all around...
Anyone who does authentic Mexican in Chicago operates in the shadow of Frontera Grill's Rick Bayless—which makes it easier for those in the know to snag a table at Salpicón. Chef Priscila Satkoff grew up in Mexico City, and her renditions of mole poblano and grilled fish with salsa fresca have unforced flair. Wash 'em down with a belt of one of 100 tequilas or choose from the extensive...

Cinco De Mayo is always fun with the three amigos, Jaime, Jose and Vincent!!
Enjoyed the wide array of tequilas, wines and knowledgeable staff. The cervache was wonderful as was the steak and the fish choices. I would definitely endorse this with a much easier reservation to get than at Frontera Grill.
I had been here in the past and thought it was exceptional. This time I would say the food was good but not rated as high as I remember. Wine list was very good. It probably won't be my first choice next time.
I was visiting Chicago with my wife. My brother who is a Chicagoan and foodie, recommended this spot. We went on Friday evening. Outstanding food everything we had would make your knees buckle, great margarita (pick your own tequila from a long list) and a wine list the size of the Chicago Phonebook. If you're like me, ask your server to recommend a nice wine. Very nice atmosphere, medium...
Brilliant chef. Amazing margarita and wine lists. Great ambience. This is what creative Mexican food can be.
