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...
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!
Drinks and food are delicious. I split a Queso Birria Torta with my husband and it was perfect afternoon snack with a Michelada and a Mango Mega Killer Margarita. Plus one margarita to go! 🤪 First time here, will definitely be coming back.
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.
Had the absolute best time at Cesar's killer margaritas! The staff is friendly and fun, the drinks are the stars of the show! So much variety to select from I'll definitely have to try new margaritas every time I go in! Food was amazing we got the chicken and steak fajita and it was so delicious. There's also fresh chips and home made salsa!
In Lakeview there a few good neighborhood Mexican restaurants and taco places. Cesar's Killer Margaritas is definitely one of them. I've been here twice in the last year, and I've enjoyed each of my visits. On my most resent trip, I tried some interesting dishes that you should try if you go here. First, I started with a frozen blueberry margarita. Of course Cesar's is famous for its huge margaritas and in a ton of different flavors. I typically get a raspberry margarita, but I enjoyed the blueberry one as it wasn't too sweet. I then tried the torti pizza. It's basically a tortilla with melted cheese and toppings. I enjoyed it, it was kinda like an open faced quesadilla or Mexican style thin pizza. I don't think I've seen anything like it at any other Mexican restaurant. I also enjoyed the carne asada and fish tacos I got. For dessert I got churros that came out hot and crispy. On my previous trip I tried their version of quesa-birria tacos. It was not a traditional quesa-birria as the meat was steak, but I enjoyed the treatment of the steak in melty cheese and crispy tacos. On all of my visits, the service was fast and friendly and food came out quickly and hot. I also enjoyed the many TVs that they have around the restaurant and in the bar area. On my last visit I watched Monday Night Football. If you are a sports fan, their bar is good place to catch a game. In sum, this good neighborhood Mexican restaurant in Lakeview that needs to on your list.
It was a bit of a slow start but once we got seated everything was great! The chamoy margarita was and piña colada’s were delicious and we tried the quesabirria torta, nacho fries and fish tacos. All were really good. Think they have a good lunch menu.
