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.

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!
