South of the Border Restaurant

  This place has some amazing jibaaritos ! The fries are to die for ! The drink are great ! Cuban sandwich is delicious!nice atmosphere!

  Delicious food and excellent service. If your hungry for Mexican, Venezuelan or Puerto Rican food, this place has some amazing food.  Check it out when you're in Rogers Park.  Close to the Morse redline.  I recommend you try this place.

  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 really enjoy South of The Border. I have been here about 5 times since it has opened and always leave full and happy. I've also ordered a different thing every single time. Yes, sometimes it can take a couple minuetes but they are attenttive and asking for any refills and what else they can help with. The owner Antonio is just a swell guy.

The fresh chips and salsa that you get are able enough to keep you sustained while you wait for your food. The drinks are decently priced and large in size. The entrees are also quite large and most of the time you will have to take a to-go box.

From the Jibaritos to the Cuban Sandwich, this place is a must.
I will gladly keep giving them my business.

  We stopped in to South of the Border for an impromptu late lunch recently. Not a fancy place, but they had good food and a welcoming staff. There's a compact selection of familiar pan-Latin dishes (e.g., tacos, arepas, cubano, ropas viejas, etc), and a similarly compact selection of beverages. Our taco dinners were fresh, plump & tasty; with three tacos, beans and rice, they were filling & thrifty. It's a nice alternative in this neighborhood - definitely on my short list next time I'm up that way.

  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 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.

  idiots just served me a burger with absolutely no toppings on it! wtf am i supposed to do with that. ugh!

  Beautiful atmosphere very good food and amazing drinks. If you're looking for a variety of Latin America food and drinks this is the right place to go. Can't wait to go back!

  Really tasty arepas, they sure don't skimp on the avocados here. Looking forward to trying out the rest of the menu, especially the vieja ropa.
