We stopped in on Thursday night without a reservation and it was easy to get seated! The whole space has a very Tulum vibe to it. Each booth had charging stations which was super helpful. Service: so quick and great! Drinks: strong and not super sweet which we loved! They add this fake $100 bill which honestly was a super fun idea Appetizers: we opted to get the queso en llamas as per our waiter's recommendation and it did NOT disappoint. The cheese was perfectly gooey and the sauce they used was fantastic. It was also fun to get this appetizer with a little presentation involved. Mains: Carne Tacos and Poblano Pasta. Both were SO GOOD. The meat was cooked to perfection and seasoned so well. The pasta was so creamy and super poblano flavored and did not feel greasy at all. I would come back for this creamy pasta. Dessert: we were so full that unfortunately we didn't opt to get dessert; we did, however, get complimentary tequila shots. I am a huge tequila fan and the tequila they gave went down so smooth. I would love to come back and try more menu items and leave room for dessert!

We stopped in for dinner last night and enjoyed our experience. We were greeted and seated promptly. The booths are small but cozy and the sieve had a nice restaurant vibe mixed with sports bar. It's beautiful, with gold velvet booths along one way, a bar on the other side, and 4 top bar tables in between. We enjoyed the chips and salsa (both salsas were awesome), elotes, veg tacos, and cheviche. All were good. Some of the other plates that passed us by looked amazing, so I would definitely go back to try more. PS add a vegetarian fajita option, please!

Fun New Mexican restaurant in the West Loop! I went with a friend on a Tuesday night. We caught the tail end of happy hour and enjoyed discounted mezcalitas and margaritas. I enjoyed the mezcalita very much - good quality mezcal with a hibiscus flavor & a tajin rim - yum! We ordered the guacamole for an appetizer. The guac was delicious and the chips were freshly made in house - fresh, crunchy perfection! For my main I ordered the chicken enchiladas with verde sauce. I appreciate that they use grilled chicken (which I prefer over shredded). I enjoyed my dish very much; it was flavorful. My friend ordered the vegetarian flautas and said that they lacked flavor. Our server was attentive and I enjoyed the restaurants ambiance very much.

Fun new Mexcian spot on Madison St! There used to be an oyster bar in this space. I love how Bocaditos completely transformed the inside and outdoor area of the restaurant with great decor, mood lighting, and new tables and chairs. We had tacos shrimp tacos and a Cesar salad-- both were great. Everything had good flavor, was a healthy portion, and I enjoyed how straightforward the menu was. They have great happy hour deals here for food and drink. It's definitely something I need to check out soon! Towards then end of our meal our server kind of abandoned our table which was odd but besides that the service was good/standard. I'm empathetic to the growing pains of a newer restaurant but definitely something to note. I'm sure it will get worked out soon!

I tried this place out for the first time and I was really impressed with the design inside. It is so cute and feels like walking into a Mexican resort. We went for lunch and they have a really nice lunch menu with smaller than dinner portions and lower prices. I really liked this as you can share and try things without getting 1 typical large entree. Their chips seemed fresh fried in house and salsas were really tasty. I had chicken flautas and my mom tried their steak tacos and really enjoyed their steak. I would definitely go back to try their margaritas and do dinner.

I came here a few weeks ago with some girlfriends and were seated easily for a weeknight dinner. They have a variety of happy hour and daily specials ranging from $4 tacos to $10 margaritas which is a steal. We shared the Oro Verde, chips and salsa, and Bocaditos mix salad, all of which tasted very fresh. I got a mix of fried and grilled tilapia tacos which were delicious. I loved the chipotle aioli that came with the tacos. Although Bocadito's is not located in the heart of West Loop, its cute decor and ambiance makes it worth the trek for anyone looking for delicious Mexican food in the area.

Great restaurant for a girl's night, date night, out small group outing! The food was great and so were the drinks. I had the ribeye, which was cooked perfectly and incredibly reasonably priced. I love that we didn't feel rushed to leave after we ate our food. We talked for hours and even got free shots when the waiter had to leave and dropped off the check "early". He was really kind and thoughtful. I'm excited to try different menu items here. + they accept reservations
