CERDITO MUERTO — Restaurant in West Chicago Township

Great environment and food. The cocktails were the star, good quality booze and well made. Food was also amazing, well cooked and everyone enjoyed. Some feedback to make this place a place I’d bring a lot of people to impress them: 1. Use large ice cubes in dark liquor cocktails like Negronis, small ice melting detracts from the booze; 2. The steak was amazing and worth it. Make it $3-5 more and add a potato puree or something traditional like a blue corn mush and a green vegetable like asparagus or cactus. 3. You are located right next to Kristoffer’s; it’s the best tres leches in the entire city. Get sheets of cake and offer it as dessert; it’s so worth it and plate it nice with some candied citrus and it will be so elevated. But awesome job and I had a great time!...

I visited Cerdito Muerto last night with three of my girlfriends, and we had such a fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the beautiful ambiance — it’s the perfect spot for a romantic dinner date or a fun night out with friends.

The food and drinks were absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented, and the cocktails were creative and delicious. The service was equally impressive — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming.

We’re already talking about when we’ll be back. Highly recommend Cerdito Muerto to anyone looking for a memorable dining...

Stopped by Cerito Muerto today and was genuinely impressed. It has a vibrant speakeasy-style vibe that immediately caught my attention. The bartender—who’s also the owner—was super welcoming and made the whole experience feel personal and laid-back.

The food? Fire. Culturally spot-on and packed with authentic Mexican flavors that reminded me of home. It’s clear they’re putting a lot of heart into everything—from the vibe to the menu.

Definitely a hidden gem in the neighborhood. I’ll be back—and bringing people with me. Wishing them nothing but success. If you haven’t checked them out yet, you’re...
