Cafe El Tapatio

Established in 1974, Cafe El Tapatio is the Chicago staple for Authentic Mexican Cuisine and Drinks. We bring a blend of traditional and unique flavor profiles in our homemade cooking and craft cocktails. We pride ourselves on treating our guests like family and are open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, bringing the Mexican heat to Chicago in a hip and friendly environment. As one of the first Mexican restaurants in Lakeview, Cafe El Tapatio has proudly served and grown with the community and has seen generations of families come through our doors.
