What People Are Saying About Lalo's

Citysearch
In Short – This lively dining room buzzes with corporate types at lunch and happy hour. The space is awash in color: purple ceilings, vibrant paintings and high windows that let in lots of light. Start with a combo platter of appetizers, with enough nachos, quesadillas and flautas for four. Favorite entrees include chicken enchiladas with tomatillo sauce, chicken in mole sauce, and deep-fried flautas with shredded beef or chicken. For dessert: moist tres leches cake.

SHUT DOWN
by cheziem at Citysearch
This Lalo's location is no longer open. It has been replaced by another restaurant/bar called LaSalle Power Company. If you want to go to Lalo's, they have other locations in the suburbs (Glenview, Des Plaines, etc.)

Your place to go for authentic Mexican cuisine and awesome Sangria!
by tamtamo at Citysearch
My boyfriend and I are new to the city and ate there last night and it was perfect. The place is huge but it felt private in the booths. The food was great and the service was as well. They are very polite and the pricing is very reasonable. The sangria was amazing too! I highly recommend.
- Pros: valet up front, service, food, atomosphere.
- Cons: valet is $12 (is that the norm? we dont know because we just moved here)

Good food
by cinzian at Citysearch
LOVED their chips and salsa. My husband said it was the best chorizo taco to be the best he?d ever had; chicken mole enchilada was good as well as the chile relleno. Very tasty rice, and I liked the refried beans since I prefer them without lard. My pork tamales (I had both tomatillo and ranchera sauce) were flavorful but on the rich side for me?got a chunk of fat in one of them. A slice of poblano in there added some spice. Flavorful chicken soup that came with the dinners. Spacious restaurant, very nice. Service was great at every point from hosts, to attentive bus boy refilling chips and salsa, and waiter who helped us get out of there in record time. It's just a little more than I'd like to pay.
- Pros: Good food, great service, spacious feeling, bright decor
- Cons: costs a little more
