What People Are Saying
Came to drink some Margaritas it was amazing like always !!!! Had some appetizers. You have to try the Fiesta platter omg the street corn wss so good also...
Queso Birria is always a hit for me and the coconut margarita, delicious! Great customer service
This place knocked our socks off and we still haven’t been able to put them back on. We were originally seated at the bar, where it was quite crowded. And then Juan pulled us aside and asked if we’d like a table after seeing it was a bit tight. Juan introduced himself and took the time to talk to us, as well as brought out multiple margarita flavors for us to try. We got the elotes to start, followed by the fajitas and super burrito. Food was delicious and fresh. Service was immaculate. And Juan was amazing, no wonder he has been there 22 years! Highly recommend for casual Mexican.
Been here twice. Ordered the Queso Barria both times as a main and it was great both times. Staff are friendly. Service can be slow at times. The...
The food was fantastic! I had the spinach quesadillas and they were so good. I especially enjoyed the sopa de fideo which tasted exactly how my grandma...
I was looking for mole steak enchiladas and found this place. I had no idea if it would really be good, but everything was great. We sat outside and it was perfect weather in a great neighborhood. At first I thought the margarita tasted like juice, but the key is to keep mixing it. Surprised they had tajin as an option. I had a quesadilla. And the guacamole and salsa were good as well. Service is friendly and a nice vibe overall. Even the manager stopped by to see how we were doing. I will return.
The food and drinks were great! I was a little sad that the drinks all came in plastic cups. But they were good. The service was pretty slow, but it was a Saturday so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. I would highly recommend the fiesta platter as an appetizer if there’s 4 or more people!
The food and margaritas are delicious. We had the Queso Birria tacos and the bare it all burrito! A burrito with no tortilla . All had great flavor....
I really like the food here, I always get the same thing. Steak quesadilla, birria tacos, queso fundido with only poblano peppers (no mushroom) and Jamaica...
Cesar’s is an awesome spot for both drinks and food! While you’re there, you have to try one of their special birria entrees or select from one of their classic mexican dishes. The birria itself is tender and super flavorful, and we loved the cheesiness. The the piña colada in the fresh pineapple is a must! It was so deliciously smooth and the perfect amount of sweetness.

Stopped here for lunch and had a great time. The staff is super friendly and welcoming.The place gives of a cool vibe. We were given chips and salsa to munch on while we decide on the menu. The salsa was so tasty, I could just keep eating the chips and salsa. We ordered the fiesta platter, shrimp tacos , and chicken fajita. For drinks we had the pina colada and mango margarita. Each of the dishes were a 10/10. The tacos were so mouthwatering delicious.Absolutely loved it. The mango margarita was by far the best margarita I have ever had. It deserves the name 'killer margarita'. You have to go to Cesar's Chicago and have their crazy good margarita!!
The margaritas are definitely the star here. They have good flavors and they’re always delicious I can only handle 1 mega because they sneak up on you! I love the atmosphere, usually other diners are friendly and having a good time. Service is always good. Last time I was there for lunch and had the Queso Birria. It was flavorful and very good. Would definitely get it again. Also enjoyed the fajitas and nacho fries but the Birria was my favorite. Had the churros and cookie for dessert. Both were yummy. I was stuffed and still ate the dessert so that says a lot! Some of my favorite margaritas in the city.
