TacoRio Cantina

TacoRio is the premier event venue on the Chicago Riverwalk, offering guests an unbeatable combination of stunning waterfront views, a fun and stylish open-air setting, authentic Mexican cuisine, and handcrafted cocktails made with fresh-squeezed juices. Perfectly located along the river, TacoRio provides a vibrant atmosphere that’s ideal for everything from casual afternoons to private group events. Our space features cozy lounge seating and flat-screen TVs, creating a relaxed but lively environment that’s perfect for gathering with friends, coworkers, or party guests. In addition to our flavorful food and drink offerings, we include a variety of interactive games and entertainment options. Guests can play beer pong, swing at a piñata, or enjoy other fun activities. TacoRio also has a unique connection to outdoor adventure through our sister company, Urban Kayaks, which is conveniently located right next door. This allows us to accommodate groups looking for a more active outing before their event. Whether you're planning a corporate team-building activity, a birthday party, or just a get-together with friends, guests have the option to begin their experience on the water with a private kayak outing at our Riverwalk or Monroe Harbor Urban Kayaks locations before heading to TacoRio for your event! We are proud to provide a space where guests can eat, drink, play, and paddle along the river or lakefront—all in one visit.
