We go to a lot of restaurants in the city and west suburbs. My other half suggested AZUL for resturant week, she is a sea food lover. When we drove there I was surprised it wasn't really near anything else. When we pulled up to the empty lot a valet hoped out of his car and let us know it was $12 to park and $20 for easy out. Mind you the lot was empty, I proceeded to park on the street right next to the place for free. This used to be a club has an upstairs, but we didnt get to see it this time, nice first floor bar. Bring your wallet cause bottles $$$$. We sat near a window facing the parking lot decent view of the city if you look past the overflowing dumpster with garbage. Service was started with a small complimentary spicy mango margarita (cause they $17 a glass)! The food was good margarita avg. this place has decent size food portions. The desert was a caramel filled churro nice touch with whip creme. Server wasnt that up beat and didnt provide the customer serivce I am used to with other resturants at this price point. None the less it started off nice the place was pretty empty, we had the ceviche and guacamole with chips. I had the seafood pasta. With so many good seafood places in the city near other nightlife I am not sure I would come again, but glad I did during resturant week. This place might be great for a sarurday night, "night cap".

I was a bit hesitant to go after reading the reviews but the birthday girl got her way. Glad we saw it her way. Food was amazing and our server Alyssa(hope that spelling is right)was nothing short of amazing!! They definitely out did themselves. We got so many things and shared everything because the portions were more than generous. I would go back! Oh and the drinks? *chef’s kiss. Were on point*

This spot is worth checking out for the drinks!! It was so tasty and delicious. My favorite was the ParaÃso. The lobster empanada was great portion size, however, a tad bit salty. It was a party scene vibe and definitely worth checking out if you want to have a good time.

I made an online reservation, I feel the the email should at least include that they do valet parking and especially that they only take cash! I think they can do better in that regard, not everyone holds cash, just glad I had cash on me.
Other than that, I think we had a good experience, the food was really tasty, I had the pineapple bowl and my friend had a whole red snapper fish.
We were just party of two so we didn’t bother doing the big drinks cos they are expensive and we would waste it.
The waitress was a pleasant soul, she’s all smiling w ready to help especially when my friend needed her order adjusted.
We had an awesome night overall.

Latin American inspired brunch spot right off of Elston located directly on the river. Really great brunch spot with an amazing outdoor patio section. We were quickly seated and served without a reservation on a sunny Saturday afternoon. We ordered the cheviche oysters which were phenomenal — truly 10/10. The huevos rancheros were okay, small portion and decent flavor. But the stars of the entre were the rice and beans — so good!!
Will definitely be back!

The staff was absolutely wonderful! I had a hibiscus margarita and azul margarita with my steak tacos and everything was very tasty. The music definitely gave me nightclub vibes, and I imagine folks come here to party when the weather is nice. The restaurant looks out to the lake which only adds to the overall ambiance. Highly recommend!

This restaurant was nice. U did need vaccine card and ID to enter. We were seated promptly due to our visit Menus were thru QR scan. The waitress was nice. Greeted us with a sample of the special. Friendly and attentive. She didn't come around too often cuz our waters got low toward the end of our visit.
The view of the river was a nice scenic view. The decor has a lots of blues and greens accompanied by different latin inspired music. Full bar. Drinks are tasty.
Food is good. I had the seafood flauntas. They're prepared with a lot of flair. My wife had the grilled shrimp. They were very tasty. The sides were rice and beans for the flauntas. The grilled shrimp came with garlic bread and rice. Really enjoyed the rice and beans. Patio was closed for the night.
Only thing i didn't like was that our food didn't hit the table @ the same time. My food came out literally 5 mins after our order was put in. Which lets me know that the flauntas were prepared in advance. The grilled shrimp entree came out several mins later. My flauntas sat because I didn't want to be rude. So i had warm flauntas and her food was nice and hot straight out of the kitchen. The seating for some of the tables sit too far back causing the patrons to leave forward to eat. That's how our table was. It was a fun experience and we will be back to try items we didn't get to try.

The food and drinks were delicious. It’s a little pricey. We were greeted with two complimentary shots. Our waitress was very nice. Only downside is there’s very little street parking and we were charged $20 to use the restaurant’s parking lot.

Absolutely amazing-- the vibes, the food, everything! We received a drink sample on the mango margarita which one of our friends ended up ordering because it was so yummy. The food portions are large. The food was really good-- very seasoned and flavorful. The calamari was so seasoned and amazing. 10 out of 10... would highly recommend.
