About

Las Fuentes Restaurant in Chicago's Lincoln Park serves Mexico City-inspired dishes in a setting that mirrors the Mexican capital's style. The outdoor patio is a prime spot for summer margaritas, and the bar's huge flat screen HDTV draws crowds for Cubs games. It's women-led and welcomes a mixed LGBTQ+ crowd, including gay and straight patrons alike.

Yelp rates it 2.9/5 from 453 reviews, so expectations should be tempered. The reviewer who called it "the most authentic Mexican food in Chicago" also noted the potent margaritas and game-day energy. Hours run 11am to 10pm most days, with later closings on Fridays and Saturdays.

Las Fuentes is located in Lincoln Park, a popular Chicago neighborhood known for its dining scene and proximity to DePaul University.

“TexMex”

I expected it to be more Mexican-style food, but it's actually more Tex-Mex, which was disappointing.

“Great outdoor patio! Excellent food!”

This place serves the most genuine Mexican cuisine in the city. They have a fantastic outdoor patio where you can enjoy delicious food, strong margaritas, and watch baseball games on their large-screen TV. It feels more authentic than many other Mexican spots in town. Looking forward to summer and seeing everyone at the Pride Parade! Stay happy!
