Chicago’s Premier Mexican Restaurant & Nightclub

A mouth-watering Mexican restaurant by day and a dance club by night, is what El Hefe in Chicago is known for. All within a few hours on a Friday night, you’ll be treated to some of the best tacos and Mexican food you have ever tried before getting ready for margaritas and a night of dancing.

To fully appreciate what El Hefe has to offer, we need to break it down into different parts, starting with the food, of course. We can whip up some of the craziest tacos you could ever imagine. From Ground Beef Picadillo, Camarones Grilled Shrimp, Beef Cheek, Duck Carnitas, and Blackened Mahi Mahi, you’ll be coming back every day to go through our taco list. If tacos aren’t on the menu for you tonight, take a look at the big list of entrees like our Enchilada Blanco, Supermacho Bowl, or our Fujitas Chingon.

Next up is our drinks. Obviously, if El Hefe is an excellent Mexican restaurant and club, we have to serve tequila, right? Good thing all of our tables of taps for unlimited tequila, Jameson and draft beer for you. Browse through our long list of tequila drinks, and don’t forget to try out one of our famous Bulldog Garitas.

How long do you think it would take to try out every tequila drink we have? Come on in and let us know.

Lastly, to appreciate El Hefe, you need to add to the atmosphere and how we go above and beyond a regular date night out. We like to think that we’ve successfully created the perfect balance between a sports bar, Mexican pup, and wild nightclub. Seriously, you have to come to see it believe it.

Our waitress staff will spoil you from the moment you walk in. You don’t have to lift a finger, except to put that mouth-watering taco in your belly. The staff enjoys a good ol’ dance party as they channel their inner Coyote Ugly bartop dancing. They’re not bad to look at either. Come check out one of our many specials throughout the week. Happy Hour begins at 3 pm until 6 pm every Monday through Friday. Taco Tuesdays are every Tuesday where all tacos are $3, and drink specials go all night. Wednesday we play host to Industry Night where El Hefe brings in Chicago’s hottest DJs and $5 Hornitos. We are also the Home of the Chicago Spartans, so make us your place to be for every game day.

At El Hefe’s we have a table waiting for you (although a reservation would hurt your chances of getting a prime table). Whether it be at brunch, date night, or getting a VIP table for your ladies night out, we’ll get the beer chilled and the tequila shots ready.
