South of the Border Restaurant

  The empandas here have become my new obsession. We've ordered a few times through Yelp when craving them. The delivery was quick, the food was fresh. Definitely recommended. I want to go in person one day since everyone keeps mentioning the drinks.

  This is by far one of my favorite places to eat! The food is always spot on and the staff is super friendly.
But tonight was rough. The restaurant was completely empty when I came tonight. I called ahead to get my order started as to I was taking it home to eat after a long day of working 2 jobs.

I ordered a chicken taco dinner w/no tomato.
(Missing rice and beans) (This happens every other order)
Sweet potato fries. ( Extremely soggy and burnt)
Guacamole w/no tomato.

I have decided to change my review in hopes that the staff create consistency in there food delivery. Why do I sometimes get beans and rice and sometimes not. Why sometimes do I get a nice presentation and a plastic container for my tacos w/limes. Then other times like tonight...were the tacos are crammed into a very small foam container.

I will probably not do takeout any more as to this is always a problem when I do.

I was very early for my pick up so there is no reason for the fries to be the way they were.

The staff is always different. When you first opened that staff was amazing! Tonight..they were just okay.

  I always bring my friends and family here and it's always been a fan favorite. Every margarita we have gotten has been delicious. They are also very accommodating and make a tofu jibaritos on request I hope it becomes a menu item in the future.

  Friendly staff, yummy margaritas, and decent Bru menu. Have some chilaquiles, basic eggs, or a jibarito! Wonderful addition to the Rogers Park neighborhood. It's low key and you can use your Touch Tunes app to play some tunes.

  I've eaten several times at this place and I've never had anything that was less than delicious. Excellent service, too. Their arepas are one of my favorite dishes, and I loved the dish called "ropa vieja," too. I hope this place is around for a very long time!

  I absolutely LOVE this place! The food is always fresh, cooked well, and delicious. The service is quick and very friendly! I have some dietary preferences and they are super accommodating. I also love the variety on the menu. My favorite thing is to get a burrito and french fries. Odd combo, and I'm glad they have it all! I have never had a bad meal here, and I have come here dozens of times!  I have always been really happy. 100000/10 I would recommend!

  I arrived with a group of four. Place was empty, nice music, interesting atmosphere. All of our plates lacked flavor, Jibarito meat was tough, tacos with lettuce and tomatoes and my ropa Vieja was bland , like stringy spaghetti. Huge disappointment, the only reason I decided to try this place was because the good reviews and pictures looked yummy. Left hungry.

  Beans and chips instead of chips and salsa?! SIGN ME UP! Everything including the peach daiquiri is awesome!

  Taco Dinner/ nice price.
I was not expecting white butter rice with tacos? That was not a blend.
That was the turn off.
Pico De Gallo Great! Taco avergae. Service was good.
Wait time from order to Receiving was a little long, for a taco dinner.
20-25 minutes?

Great location, friendly and clean!

  Ate here for the first time tonight and it did not disappoint! Staff was very friendly! Food was delicious and the margaritas were strong and tasty! What more could you ask for? I will definitely be back!
