The Scene – Old Mexico meets Randolph Street in this stylish, uncluttered space, where rustic pine furniture and tortilla-colored walls blend comfortably with industrial-metal accents and deep-blue stained floors. West Loop loft dwellers and local business diners fill tables in the main dining room or linger at the bar for a specialty margarita, like peach chamomile or raspberry cilantro. Service is fast and friendly. – – The Food – This isn't a typical taco stand--de cero's modern Mexican fare includes upscale options like duck nachos, shrimp fajitas and tacos filled…

Tasty and Modern Twist on Taqueria
by fire4hairlady at Citysearch
Do not come here expecting your usual Mexican food restaurant!
This is a place for a fun and modern take on Mexican food. The taco platter is the best bet if you have more than one person, let everyone pick a few that they want to try and share. The rajas tacos and the braised duck tacos haunt my dreams in the best possible way!! Spoil yourself with fun and unusual cocktails like the Strawberry Mint Margarita or the Raspberry Basil Daquiri and don't forget dessert!
I like to order the mango cheesecake and the lime-honey berries and eat them together!
- Pros: delicious unusual tacos and drinks
- Cons: loud dining room

Loud and overpriced
by wingofdesi at Citysearch
Ok the food at De Cero is good, I will give them that. The steak on the steak tacos was not your regular skirt steak, but meaty chunks of meat. However, I think the prices are a bit outrageous. $3.00 for horchata (Mexican rice water drink, was bland and tasteless), $3.00 for a Jarrito (Mexican soda) and they even charge $1.00 for jalape?os! I'm not being petty, but I have dined at many Mexican restaurants where you don't have to pay for chips and salsa, they are complimentary. My husband and I got the Taco platter which had 8 tacos for $30. We were impressed by the exotic flavors and fresh ingredients. The noise level at De Cero was high; my husband had to yell to hear one another. I think De Cero is better fit for drinks and appetizers rather than an intimate setting. I would not suggest going for a romantic evening.
- Pros: Great exotic flavors
- Cons: Very expensive Mexican food
The Details on de cero
What to Drink:
The beverage list includes 25 tequilas, a small wine selection, and a handful of Mexican beers--but the specialty fruit and herb drinks, like the pineapple margarita and the banana-dill daiquiri, are too tempting to resist.
