We are thrilled to welcome you back to restaurant dining inside or on our patio!

Opened in the 1960s by Ike Sewell, better known for inventing ‘Chicago Style Deep-Dish Pizza’ at nearby Pizzeria Uno, we quickly became one of the most popular places for Mexican food in Chicago. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Su Casa is truly a little slice of Mexico planted in the heart of a great city.

We are located in a converted 1867 carriage house, which adds plenty of character to your experience as you dine on traditional, Mexican fare. The burritos are not to be missed, and neither are the margaritas.

    Everything was excellent. When we walked into the restaurant we felt like we were in Mexico. We were welcomed immediately by a friendly staff. We started with drinks. The margarita was delicious and just the right size. The beer was served cold and included a slice of lime. We could have split our meals because the serving is very generous. Between the two of us we had the shrimp tacos meal and the chicken quesadilla. Both were delicious.

    Restaurant should update hours of operation. Customers should not be able to book a table if restaurant is supposed to be closed. Even though Google and open table indicated they were open.

    Thank you for your feedback Ashley. We will forward your comments to the restaurant's management team so that they can update their hours of operation. Have a great day, Team Su Casa

    Very fun, festive mexican ambience. Staff was nice and accommodating. They seemed a little distracted overall. But it was pleasant. The food was very very tasty. Great value and experience for the price.

    It was awful! My husband and I used to go to Su casa when we were dating, almost 20 years ago. Wow has it changed! We brought our family and I’ve never felt so rushed in my life!! Our server was kind of a jerk and was trying to get us out the door. He basically threw plates at my kids as the food came out of the kitchen. Very annoying! Our bill was $140 and not worth what we got. Margaritas were $16 and tasted like watered down tequila. We won’t be going back, ever!

    The food was just as I remembered. Authentic Mexican flavors. Guacamole made at the table. And the magaritas delicious, I like mine made with Grand Marnier.
