Meet us where tacos are only the beginning
Lalo’s is a family-owned restaurant that has changed the landscape of Mexican cuisine in Chicago.
It all started nearly 30 years ago with one 24-seat restaurant where authentic dishes with top-quality ingredients were served from a roster of family recipes.
The idea behind the plate was to expand the idea of Mexican food far beyond the taco. The menu introduced dishes like Guisado de Lomo, chopped ribeye grilled in a special combination of spices, and Quesadillas Sincronizadas, ham and cheese pressed between tortillas and grilled.
The authentic, family recipes grew popular fast, overflowing the capacity of the original dining room. Now Lalo’s has 12 locations around Chicago, including one on Harlem Avenue in Berwyn.
Come for dinner and try the Camarones Al Mojo de Ajo and enjoy shrimp basted in fresh tomato and garlic butter sauce paired with seafood empanadas. Don’t worry, you can still find the staples like tacos and enchiladas on the menu.
Lalo’s is open Sunday through Thursday from 10am-10pm, and on Fridays and Saturdays from 10am-midnight.
Every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday is mariachi night at Lalo’s. Look forward to being serenaded by mariachi singers as you sip your margarita!
You can also order your drinks to-go! Pick up the signature Lalo’s sangrias, margaritas, or micheladas with the new “Lalo’s en tu Casa” line of alcoholic beverages.
Entrees range in price. The Quesadillas Sincronizadas are $12; both the Guisado de Lomo and the Camarones Al Mojo de Ajo are $23.
Located at 3011 S. Harlem Ave., Lalo’s is a 20-minute drive from downtown Chicago or a half-mile walk from the Harlem stop on the BNSF Railway.
