TKS - Tatas Kitchen & Social - Chicago, Illinois

We had an amazing experience at TKS - Tatas Kitchen & Social. Our group of 10 was looking for a great spot for lunch, and we couldn't have made a better choice. Initially, we were offered seating on the rooftop, but when it turned out to be too hot, the staff kindly accommodated us in a private room at no extra charge! Special shoutout to our waitress, Sandra, who was absolutely fantastic. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. The food was delicious - tacos, salads, burgers, and even a few beers! Everything was perfect. I highly recommend TKS for its great food, service, and atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Great spot to go visit! Three floors of space. Top is the rooftop with great views and a cozy atmosphere. Feels like your backyard BBQ. Food and service were stellar! Drinks were tasty! Parking was reasonable. Prices were a bit high but not terrible. Great spot for groups or couples. I will definitely return!

Rumor is true! VPT is back in business and stronger than eve4. We came here Saturday night for the soft opening and I can't wait for the grand opening. The burgers were great the beer was ice cold the shots were on point and the service was awesome. Ivan and the crew have something good going here. Come in and support!

Went on a Sunday. The server was attentive and happy personality. I ordered Ceviche as my entree and it was good but didn’t have any mango and not enough of a lime flavor.. it was more like a watered down shrimp cocktail but I enjoyed it. My mom loved the burrito with mole sauce. The margaritas we’re good. Only bad thing is they had a lot of dirty plates stacked up on the bar.

Absolutely wonderful service, drink and food! Our bartender/server, Jose was absolutely amazing. He was very thorough and very friendly. Hands-down, the best margarita I’ve ever had in my life. You will be seeing more of me and my friends this summer. This place is an absolute must visit.

I have been wanting to try Tata’s Tacos forever! Finally was able to do so this past weekend. The weather was perfect for the rooftop which is what I wanted to experience.

Ambiance: LOVE the rooftop, it’s huge and spacious and has various seating areas, bar area with stools, chairs, tables and umbrellas and a lounge area more comfortable like sofa seating. Very cute, colorful and a whole vibe.The first floor is huge with a very large spacious bar and open windows.

Starters: We ordered the Elote in a bowl and El Chapo. Both were extremely good. The Elote was similar to your typical Elote from street vendors but this one had a hint of limon which made it all better we left none behind. El Chapo was the best overall it had so many flavors in there I can’t even begin to explain how good this is, there was nothing on the plate left but a few jalapeños which are btw very hot!! The combination of the chorizo and smoked brisket along with the melted cheese and topped with two fried eggs. We let the yolk erupt over this. This is so good! I highly recommend this item. It’s huge but my husband and I managed to tackle it all.

Drinks: We ordered a sangria and a piña colada. The sangria was bitter my husband could not drink it and opt to join me on the fun with Caribbean piña coladas! Definitely a favorite of mine with and without rum!

Main entree: My husband ordered the Caribbean enchilada’s filled with shrimp. This was very favorable. The black beans were dry and flavorless. We had to ask the server for salt, beside that the plate was good. He also order a side taco of El Chupacabra this taco is amazing I highly recommend it. It comes with 3 different meats, rice beans onions all in one. Like a taco dinner mixed in a taco. I ordered a Taco dinner which included Mexican rice and brown bean’s absolutely no flavor, the tacos you can mix and match 3! I ordered the jibarito with ribeye, Tijuana Birria and the server suggested the sirena. These were a great combo. The jibarito was phenomenal overall flavor exploding with all the hits from an actual jibarito and the garlic sauce made it taste amazing. A little messy but worth it all. The Tijuana Birria taco wasn’t my favorite but it was okay. The sirena was good it has bacon wrapped shrimp with red cabbage, chili aioli and Pico de gallo. I would definitely try these again except Tijuana.

Dessert: We were so full we ordered to go I wanted to try the Oreo churros with vanilla ice cream. This was delicious.

This place is not your authentic Mexican restaurant so don’t come here expecting traditional flavors. They clearly state it’s a Mexican restaurant with a modern twist. I think it’s a great place for celebrations or just a casual lunch/dinner. I included the menu as the one online is not updated.

Wanted to order a burger, waitress stated no burgers for today. Ordered sweet potatoes fries and regular fries were brought out. Then she said they had no sweet potatoes fries. Ordered birria tacos with consume. When the food was brought out the consume was cold. Notified the waitress. She brought it back and stated they forgot to turn on the stove. I believe if the restaurant knows they are out of products, they should notify the customers as they are seated.
