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…

Loud and overpriced

by wingofdesi

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

Go for drinks and chips/guac, NOT for the food...

by euskup05

Went with a group of friends for Cinco de Mayo. The margaritas were delicious, and the chips and guacamole were great. But beware of the food, which was pretty much way over-priced and tasteless. Especially the fish tacos, which were not cooked thoroughly and my boyfriend ended up throwing up the entire night, gross. My advice, if you're going to go, just go for drinks and chips...if at all.

  • Pros: margaritas, chips and guacamole
  • Cons: bad fish taco experience..eek.

The Details on De Cero Taqueria

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.
