Holy molé! This place is amazing! Camarones ixtapa, chicken montezuma and enchiladas. I’ve never had molé more authentic outside my mom’s kitchen. We will definitely be going back soon.

Food was excellent! Only downside is cash only. If it weren’t for that 5⭐. I don’t even mind the BYOB.

Small gem in downtown Skokie. The food is great! Not many options for vegans though. My omnivore friends and family love the mole dishes. I love many of their appetizers and the mango salad. Decoration are great! Don’t be in a rush and expect slower service when only one staff is host, server and cook. It’s BYOB.

The service and atmosphere were great, and fit the higher prices. We were really excited to come back with friends and family, until we ate the food. The food was enjoyable, but not amazing. They seem to be relying on the sauce for most of the flavor, which leaves everything feeling very one dimensional. You can find better for the price or cheaper depending on your mood.

This is a quaint, authentic, byob restaurant. Every dish is fabulous and the service is phenomenal – even with a group of kids they were super patient with us. However, if you are looking for the typical American version of Mexican food which most local places are, this is not the place for you. This is a small, family-run restaurant serving authentic, gourmet cuisine. All 8 adult in our party highly recommend it!

Excellent every time. Not a place for a large group, as it is a small place. Dinner for 4 is perfect, as is BYOB.

Yolo will redefine Mexican food for you. Seriously, it’s that good. Very intimate, with attentive service and a relaxed atmosphere. The food explodes with flavors and will leave you with a satisfied, but not over stuffed, feeling. Make sure to try their flavored waters as they provide a delicate, refreshing accompaniment to your meal. Stellar place and you are doing yourself a disservice if you don’t pencil this one in on your must try list.

I cannot be happier to have Yolo around. My family has dined there too many times to count times so far. The staff is great the food is wonderful. We have been Wholly Frijoles fans for years and while they are a still fine choice – Yolo is a few blocks away and every bit as good if not better!
