We were new to Boleo and it was nothing short of spectacular! We visited during Restaurant Week. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. The staff was friendly and attentive, frequently checking in to ensure we had everything we needed. The ambiance is unique, with a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere that transports you to South America. Every dish we tried was delicious and flavorful, with perfect portions. Our favorites were the Yaquitas and the Ceviche. The cocktails were also outstanding, perfectly complementing the Latin American-inspired cuisine. As first-time diners, we had a very satisfying experience and will certainly return. We highly recommend Boleo to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Chicago! Huge thanks to Guillermo, Jaime, and Maleka (sp?) for the warm welcome! Cheers!
