Meet Your Host, Antonio Diaz

South of the Border Restaurant in Rogers Park is the fruition of a great idea. Antonio Diaz wanted to celebrate best of South of the Border cuisine, whether the border is the Rio Grand, the Gulf of Mexico, or the Mason Dixon. Use the freshest ingredients, make everything to your liking, and serve it with a smile.

Come in and try the Arrepos–to die for. Or the Cuban sandwich, always freshly made. Or our signature Jibarito, or our Texas Burger–cooked the way you like it.

Finally, Antonio brought to Rogers Park the one thing missing from most menus. For what is a Latin restaurant without Mojito’s, Pina Coladas, and of course, Margaritas? We think our cocktails are are the best in all of Chicago. 

South of the Border is a place for friends and family and amazing food.

    The food here is amazing. One of the best Cuban Sandwiches I've had. Great Chicken Enchiladas. Try the tostones (crisp plantains), they are delicious.

  • The food is delicious, inexpensive, well-presented, and a nice variety of Latin dishes. The service was very pleasant and cheerful. It's a great addition to RP, one that provides a nice place with good food that you can drop in any night of the week.

      Ana was very friendly and it seems she knows my friends well.

    I had Ropa Vieja and it was so tender and bottomless Mimosa was so refreshing and the portion was very generous!!

  •   The margaritas are very well-worth your money. Very big and very tasty. May be hangover fuel, but that's tomorrow's problem. I don't love how the chips don't come with salsa but rather some other stuff, but overall a decent place to go and eat with friends.

      Ropa Vieja was sub par and flavorless for being 22$ this was a straight up robbery, there's no way that was flank steak either

  •   I would definitely return here, my steak was delicious and rich! As with any good Mexican joint, service was fast and portions were big. The Margaritas are the size of a small child!

      I went for the 1st time a few days ago with my kids nanny to have dinner & it was pretty good food, but they have some rude & nosey waitresses. I expected to have a quiet dinner before going home. We were having a conversation & laughing  but while waiting for the food, the young girl came back & asked "did I just hear 1 of u say u have covid" We never said that so maybe she shouldn't try to be listening to other peoples conversations. After that she kept coming by our table & just standing there close by. If I'm going to dine in, then employers need to be respectful of customers, including not listening to people's conversations & interrupting & jumping into their conversations.

      Worst mole I've ever had. If it's bbq sauce just say that. Beans were soggy, but not flavorful, with a strange amount of melted cheese. Medium rating because service was nice. I just wouldn't recommend the food.
