Closing 01 August, so what difference does it make? Several good tequilas still in stock, but $17 for three tacos, NOT double-tortilla-ed, and a spoonful of rice? C’mon…

Ordered guacamole and it came incredibly fast. Was definitely pre-made. Ordered fajitas which weren’t sizzling (that was a first for me), and again, felt pre-made and simply plopped onto my plate. Mediocre food experience. Very cute atmosphere though!

Awesome establishment! If you have not been to Depot Nuevo in Wilmette you owe it to yourself. Best Guacamole and an extensive Mezcal and tequila list with great crafted cocktails. Recommendations: Gauc of course, Appetizer Sampler/trio, Fajitas (Many levels above Uncle Julios) and particularly good Mole and red enchilada sauce. Best Staff in town.

Great Margaritas and wonderful service. I took advantage of the great weather and had a Spicy Nuevo on the lawn before dinner. Where else can you get a drink on the lawn these days?! My chicken enchiladas were great (didn’t take a picture sadly). Also, their chips and salsa is fantastic, super fresh and crispy, not greasy at all. Will be back!

Everything was absolutely amazing! We ordered the queso fundido as an appetizer. Honestly, I would come back just for that and the drinks. Not pictured are the two drinks we ordered – Cucumber Avocado Margarita and a Paloma. There was a perfect balance of tequila in the drinks. They were nice and refreshing for a Spring day. For our entrees, we both opted for the 3 mix & match tacos. On the blue plate: chorizo, chicken, and black bean & portabella mushroom. On the orange plate: carnitas, fish, and BBQ short rib. My favorite was the fish taco. We will definitely be back again!!!

We very much love this Upper Scale Mexican Cuisine restaurant. I love their Mole sauce. Everything we’ve ordered has been enjoyable. As far as I know, they do not take reservations so arrive early if you do not want to wait. If you do have to wait, the margarita’s are great!

Farewell to one of Wilmette’s first original destination restaurants. We loved their dedication to original Mexican cuisine and spirits. Wow. They will be missed.

Amazing shrimp tacos. We also ordered kids quesadilla and steak burrito. The steak was not cooked well though so probably they should have asked how to cook it. Will definitely come back.

Highly recommend ! Great food, ambiance and location . Perfect patio; they have umbrellas when it’s hot and heaters when it cools down. The margaritas with the fresh lime are delicious . The fresh salsa is great and really enjoyed the veggie enchiladas and burrito . Support local !

We are from Latin America. This place is amazing. The food is great. The service is great. The craft tequilas and mezcals that the owner has curated and imported are incredible.
