Excellent, but potent margaritas!

by dendau

Over the years, the food has gotten better & the fajitas are better than most mexican places in town. However, the real reason you should go is for the Margarita's- on the rocks of course!They're strong, not too sweet and you should use caution when throwing a few back. This is a great place to go with a group of friends on a Sunday- winter or summer. When it's warm enough outside, ask for a table in the patio. No, it's not Frontera Grill or Cuatro- but then they're not trying to be either.

• Pros: Great margaritas, Good service, Decent food
• Cons: No atmoshpere, but it's not about that here

Although everyone seems to go there, the food is poor, the service is poor, the prices are 3 times of what they should be, it's loud, you'll leave smelling like a greese ball and the entire place is PINK

• Cons: Slow Service, Poor Food, $$$$$$$$

Lakeview residents craving Mexican food gather indoors and out at this festive, laid-back eatery.

In Short
The crowd at "Las Mas" is a casual, Wrigleyville-meets-Boys Town mix who fill the large dining room during cooler months, and spill out onto the patio in summer. The menu features standards served with refried beans and rice. Popular combinations include the Zapata with carne asada, a cheese burrito and a chicken enchilada. The seafood favorite is camarones al ajillo, simply prepared butterflied shrimp grilled with an olive oil and garlic marinade.

The Best Margaritas

by wlevitt

They have the best margaritas in Chicago! food can be good or o.k.-the puerco in chilmole is excellent though. chips tend to not be too fresh often. good service and great atmosphere.

Great Drinks, Great Food

by susanchenelle_citysearch

Las Mananitas has been serving quality Mexican fare at a great value for years. Their margaritas are fantastic, especially on a warm summer day out on the patio. Recommend the enchilada suizas.

• Pros: Good food, Great margaritas

avoid this place

by MikeKramer

This restaurant must of changed ownership, it used to be top notch, now the service is a joke and the food was terrrible. To make matter worse after eating and drinking to the tune of $100.00 on the way out one in our party asked if he could have a banana from the 100+ on the bar and the bartender was rude and more or less made us out to be free loaders. far better Mexican restaurants in the area.

• Pros: none
• Cons: food was terrible, service worse

Great margaritas, fair prices

by jeremyreed_citysearch

I came upon this place unexpectantly. We order a pitcher of margaritas and two different combination platters. What we didn't expect was a great all-around dining experience. Sure, the waiters could have come by more often or more quickly -- but the margaritas made up for any ill will I might have harbored.

• Pros: margaritas
• Cons: slow service
