Reviews for Cruz Blanca Brewery in Chicago, IL
Five stars all round! It was a great finding exploring the west loop area in Chicago. Their beers are fantastic, the food was... great and service five stars! I wish I could bring them home with me. Read more
Good quality food, but my wife and I weren’t impressed; none of it was truly THAT tasty and it was all extremely expensive for... what we got. Service was a but non-attentive and lacking. We were also charged extra for al pastor to our california burritowithout every mentioning there would be a charge. The only way we would’ve known this is because we asked for the receiptafter. This felt inconsiderate because I would’ve gotten carne asada for no extra charge if that was the case Read more
This is a great place to stop for good Mexican food especially for the area. I also believe they own Lena Brava next door which... I've also been too they are high end food. This place has a bunch of amazing drinks. A very very wide menu of unique Mexicanbeers and cocktails. The mezcel Marg was good. The spicy mango was sweater than it was spicy. MACHINA VERDE is a spicy. It was aminchalada made with serrano peppers instead of tomato juice. Super unique and good. Food wise they have some appetizers. TheCaesar salad was one of the best salads I e had in a minute. I got the taco platter with two meats. It made 3 good sized tacoswith a little for left overs. The chicken was better than the steak. The new mexico smothered burrito was very tasty. It's stillnot a classic wet burrito like from grand rapids or out west. But it is very very tasty and cheesy. And the cauliflower taco isto die for. My favorite item we got. I recommend for a layed back experience with a outdoor patio. Read more
Atmosphere and Vibe was great. Craft brews were outstanding and many to choose from. Tacos were kicking with flavor. Definitely... one brewery you should seek out when in Chicago! Read more
Very delicious place to get tacos and burritos ????. As I am addicted to tacos, I went there twice in a week to try out a bit of... everything and I wasn’t deceived. Both times the service was excellent and the food very delicious. I was a bit surprised bythe fries in the steak tacos, but that unexpected twist made it original. The portions are decent, the beer quenching and thedrinks very good. I will definitely come back here for beer, tacos and burritos. Read more
We’ve been coming here since the first week they have opened and are ALWAYS impressed and delighted with the food and drinks.... Their beers are very unique and simply outstanding. The food is delicious and very affordable for the west loop. The staff isattentive too! This is the best place to have a large dinner party upstairs or do a brewery tour on the weekend. Our favoritesare the Tlayudas - giant tostadas. Mmmmm! Read more
Visited Cruz Blanca for the first time today. It has easily earned a spot on my Top 10 Favorite Chicago Restaurants list! This... food is astonishingly delicious. Definitely not your traditional Mexican food. Everything has a twist or is elevated in someway. The chips, guac, and salsas are all so fresh and tasty (especially the guac and the green salsa). The tacos are incredibleas well. But what really blew my mind was the garlicky shrimp Cali Burrito. I made myself eat only half at the restaurant justso I could experience it again at home later. The classic margarita is GOOD. Great size, great flavor, and I was tipsy alreadyjust off of one! Ambience was perfect, too! Inside and out. Wait staff were attentive. The (female) Manager was so personableand it really showed that she took pride in her work and making us feel welcomed and appreciated. I will definitely return. Read more
Beware, they include a “Restaurant Surcharge” fee of 3.25% that can be removed upon request, but most people will never... notice this. This is an underhanded way of sneaking in charges and is the only reason I am deducting stars from my rating. Nowonto the food and experience. The service was great. Tacos were phenomenal as was the fried chicken torta. Beers were decent,and we lucked out that we were there when several barrel aged imperial stouts were released- these were fantastic and farexceeded the normal house beers. Read more
