Creative, cocktail-forward Modern Mexican near United Center with standout tuna tostadas and lively vibes; expect small portions, premium pricing, and occasionally uneven service.
Diego Chicago delivers strong food quality anchored by standout tuna tostadas and ceviche, paired with warm, attentive service and a compelling cocktail program. However, consistency challenges—including saltiness variability, portion fluctuations during late-night service, and peak-time slowdowns—prevent grade A-grade territory. The creative Modern Mexican approach and neighborhood gem appeal make it competitive with respected local favorites, best suited for cocktail-focused diners who value craft execution over traditional comfort.
One caveat: Portions and pricing feel mismatched to some diners, especially tostadas and late-night tacos
