    My favorite breakfast place of all time and for as long as I can remember. I can't believe I haven't rated them before! My family is from the same little town in Mexico and eating breakfast here is like having my ma's cooking all over again. Best of the best!

    Canton Regio in Chicago is easily one of the best Spanish restaurants I’ve ever walked into. From the moment you step inside, the warm and inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The restaurant is spotless, with a clean and well-maintained dining area that adds to the overall experience. The music selection is second to none, setting the perfect tone for an enjoyable and lively meal. The food options here are outstanding. Whether you’re craving expertly grilled meats, fresh seafood, or flavorful sides, every dish is cooked to perfection. The ingredients are fresh, the flavors are bold, and the portion sizes are generous. You can tell that a lot of care goes into every plate that comes out of the kitchen. Beyond the food, the service is top-notch. The employees are incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every guest feels welcome. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, and she was one of the kindest and most hospitable people I’ve met. Her passion for great food and genuine hospitality is reflected in every aspect of the restaurant. Without a doubt, I’ll be returning to Canton Regio in the future. If you’re looking for authentic Spanish cuisine in Chicago, this spot is a must-visit.

    As a fellow small business in Chicago. We at Color Cocktail Factory enjoy supporting local businesses around the city. We cannot say enough positive things about Canton Regio. From the customer service of the waiter, to the steak fajitas and the presentation of the chicken skewers. It was an unforgettable experience. Thank you all so much for what you do.

    Anyone looking for an outstanding Mexican restaurant should try this place! The food was fresh, high quality and extremely tasty. We had the one kilo of arracheras (skirt steak) with onions, the Enchiladas Arturo and Antonio, our waiter, gave us free cheese fritter to try. Also had the beans as part of our dish and freshly made corn and flour tortillas! Antonio and the whole staff were very attentive and knowledgeable. Will definitely be coming back with friends. This place is BYOB.

    Great place. Friendly staff. It's probably the best Mexican food in Chicago. My Father in law is on oxygen, and I appreciate the staff giving us a table right by the front so he didn't have to walk far. We have been there before and will go again. It was Mother's Day, so there was a little wait, but it was definitely worth it.

    Amazing Experience at Canto Region – Chef Approved! As a chef who understands the art of hospitality and exceptional customer service, I was thoroughly impressed with my first visit to Canto Region on 18th St in Pilsen. Yes, the wait was ridiculously long, so patience is key—but trust me, it's worth it. This BYOB gem made my sister’s birthday unforgettable. We ordered a kilo of perfectly cooked steak, guacamole with fresh chips, and a few cheese dishes that were absolutely delicious. The mariachis added a special touch, serenading our table twice! Despite the packed atmosphere, the servers were outstanding, going above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible experience. I rarely give a perfect 5/5, but this place felt like home from the moment we sat down. Thank you, Canto Region, for an unforgettable evening. Can’t wait to return! Chef Roberto Castillo
