El Diablo Cantina

The food was worth the wait (steak arrachera and chiles rellenos) … the watermelon margarita was amazing! The black beans are different not the usual pinto beans.

Service is not the best, took long to get our food and drinks. Let me just say Communication can go a long way. We went for a night out, with friends. It was our first time going here and probably our last. As we are still eating they start coming up to each table asking for a $20 fee PER PERSON to stay and watch a fight UFC/Boxing. Which we were unaware nor was our intention to go and see a fight. They didn't communicate anything when you walk in the door. Many people ended up closing their checks and leaving because just like us their intention was to have a nice night out. It was either you pay the $20/person and you get to stay and keep eating or you were basically rushed to leave. For the price they charge for the food and drinks we expected a little more courtesy and communication. Wanted to support local restaurants around the area, but unfortunately the lack of transparency and last minute communication isn't what we expected.

Holy Oysters Diablo! If you know me…you know I am a foodie and search the world everywhere for oysters! These oysters at El Diablo in Carpentersville (the old Spotted Fox) are so refreshing. The shrimp on top of the oyster with a pico de gallo and fresh lime was a match made in heaven. Hey everyone go back to this location. Huge change around! The owner is wise and honest with a bit of flair for what is creative and needed for our fun and food palate right here in our community. The food I promise is Las Vegas style! We finally have a creative restaurant that everyone will love and a bar that’s open till 4am. Welcome El Diablo (next to Springhill Mall) I support you 1000 percent! Your friend Wendy Gross. I support you Marwan. You got this! Xo
