Las Fuentes Restaurant

AMAZING FOOD!!! It's tough to find a Mexican Restaurant that can find a good mix between authentic Mexican food with an American taste.  I usually find that real Mexican food has a lot of flavor where as American Mexican food does not.  The food at Las Fuentes is INCREDIBLE!! I had the shrimp tacos and they were the most delicious shrimp tacos I have ever had.  Their guacamole could have used a bit more of a kick, but was very fresh.  The ambiance was very casual and fun, not a place to get dressed up for.  The waiter was a bit forceful with trying to up sell us on buying more drinks, but the service otherwise was wonderful.  I will be back!

This place is the best!!! Delicious Mexican food, awesome atmosphere and great service! :)

Las Fuentes is at the corner of Halsted and Wrightwood. There is an outdoor patio space and if you wish to dine al fresco in Chicago, this is the way to do it. The patio is massive and beautiful, great for people watching and for enjoying your food and drink. While the menu has your usual solid standbys like quesadillas, I was drawn to some of the specials that you do not see all the time on menus. I went with Chiles en nogada, a specialty from Puebla. It is a beautiful plate with pomegranate seeds dotting a pile of stuffed poblano chiles blanketed by creamy walnut sauce and pine nuts. This is a dish that you can probably eat once a year at best, but it is rich and sweet and tasty. The interior space apparently becomes a Mexican dance club in the evening.
