    Just fabulous food and great staff. The owner chef is often working the floor with her staff and she’s just a joy to interact with.

    Great menu with excellent flavors! Can’t go wrong if you want a night out and something that’s different than the same old restaurants that are around. They gave a complementary soup to everybody at the table upon arrival that was delicious. Good selection of cocktails and nonalcoholic beer option. Would take anyone there.

    Fantastic food. Everything we ordered was delicious. You may not expect a high end restaurant in downtown Skokie but this place is it. We'll definitely be back!

    Outstanding little restaurant tucked away in Skokie! Will definitely go back. The ambience, the server and best of all the food was truly remarkable. Highly recommend.

    Libertad has great food! The service was very friendly and accommodating. The lighting of the dining room is just right making the ambiance great. We didn’t get a chance to see the back indoor/outdoor dining area. Next time!

    Every time we have a table on the back patio, I am disappointed and annoyed that they cannot seem to get the heat stable. It is too cold when the heaters are off, too hot when they are on. It really detracts from the enjoyment of the meal.
