De Cero Taqueria

We ate at De Cero Taqueria a few weekends ago. It was excellent and I highly recommend it.

We started with some delicious drinks. I had several raspberry basil daiquiris. They were so good that I may come back just for the drinks. Very fresh and refreshing. Not too strong but not too sweet either. The Husband had the De Cero margarita. He liked it as well.

Then we moved on to guacamole. This was one of the best guacamoles we have had in town. And the chips were great too.

We shared a tamale to compare De Cero's tamales to those of the Tamale Man. Not surprisingly De Cero's wins since theirs aren't served out of a cooler to drunk people in dive bars.

For our entree we shared the taco plate with 8 different tacos. We had the ahi tuna, chipotle chicken, chicken mole, tres queso, skirt steak, battered shrimp, chorizo, and al pastor. The only one we didn't like was the chorizo. It tasted more like ground beef then chorizo. My favorites were the chipotle chicken, skirt steak, and battered shrimp. The tacos are pretty big so 8 is plenty for 2 people, especially if you get an appetizer.

Service was only so-so. Our server seemed overwhelmed and was slow to take our order and refill our drinks.

They have a nice outdoor area that you can sit at when it's nice out. Unfortunately we went in July and it was too cold and rainy to sit outside. What the heck is wrong with Chicago's weather?
