Canton Regio

I was just there this past weekend and it’s alright. We were seated near the door so every time it opened up the cold wind would sneak in… this was fine until our food came. The food was cold after of about 5 minutes of opening and closing the door. The waiter also informed us that they were out of beans and were making them which would take longer… we opted for substituting the beans for rice and the rice was disappointing too. It tasted like box rice with packet seasoning.
I’m sure if we went on a weekday and were not seated near the door that my experience would have been a little better.

The entire experience is phenomenal. the skirt steak with the homemade tortillas are mouthwatering. the service is 2^nd to none 5 star all the
comin back asap

This place deserves an amazing review. What a great place to be! The service was great, the food was amazing, prices are very reasonable. I am a fan of Nuevo León and man this place did not disappoint. We ordered the queso panela and the half a kilo of arrachera. The bill came out to less than $ 30!!! We were both stuffed beyond belief and the food coma was by far worth it!
The food presentation was perfect and I really cannot wait to come back here… This is one of my top places now, not to mention that I am a major carnivore and this place is open until midnight. The establishment is clean and I feel like I can’t mention enough how delicious it is. I can’t wait to come back and try some of the other cuts and the skewers which are only $ 15 for 3!!!
Three sides came with the arrachera. Little onions, jalapeños, and charro beans. We got a side of rice to really set it off. BYOB with some nice red wine and your night is set

Was told this was the new Nuevo León (that burned down) with a different name and similar menu. I decided to take a friend from out of town in hopes they served tacos de sabinas from the other restaurant. Turns out the menu is completely different and they did not serve that. Although the inside is pretty and it smelled amazing-​we were set on those tacos and were going to try another place. The staff was so nice they said they could make it special for us. They were just as good as I remembered! Very impressed with how friendly and accommodating everyone was. Will definitely come back to try the new menu items :)

YUM! Important logistics upfront: BYOB, cash only, ATM inside. I live within walking distance from here, so hubs & I were excited to see what the Nuevo Leon owners had finally put together in this building that’s been nothing the whole year-​and-​a-​half I’ve been in Pilsen. We couldn’t quite tell if it was open around quarter of 5 on Friday evening, but having not eaten lunch amidst the busy-​ness of the day, we were ready for the early bird special. I pulled open the heavy wooden door and was immediately greeted by several staff wanting to know if I was here for the party. I’m ALWAYS here for the party, but we are not here in reference to any particular event this evening, no, if that’s what you’re asking.
Since we were on the early side for dinner, there were only a couple of other tables being occupied and we were allowed to choose a table anywhere we liked. Settling into a high table by the open kitchen, we hung our jackets on the wall hooks provided and cracked into our from-​home beverages while perusing the menu and snacking on free chips and three different salsas. We opted to share ½ kilo of arrachera (grilled skirt steak) served with homemade tortillas (we got a mix of corn and flour), peppers, grilled spring onions, and a side of charro beans ($ 16), an order of skewers (3), which we mixed with 2 shrimp and 1 chicken ($ 15), and a side of Mexican rice ($ 2). We were also given a free small cup of chicken soup as an appetizer, filled with lots of veggies and very flavorful broth.
Everything we had was delicious and a great portion size for the price. The steak smelled and tasted just like the grill, tender, and not fatty. The skewers arrived gloriously hung on what looked like a meat-​bearing trident. The shrimp skewers each had 4 plump shrimp in between grilled onions and peppers, and the seasoned chicken was also juicy. I had watched kitchen staff hauling a large bin of spring onions to the grill, and was not disappointed in the grilled crunch of a well-​done scallion. The beans were also spot-​on, nice and creamy textured inside in a sauce with just a hint of heat for flavor, not spice. I’m extremely spicy-​intolerant to the point where even black table pepper can bother my stomach when sprinkled gratuitously by well-​meaning chefs, but nothing here was spiced with an intense heat, just used the flavor of the peppers to add depth, which I really appreciated as hard to come by in the Mexican cuisine.
We skipped ordering official appetizers in hopes of having room left at the end since I had spotted the dessert menu, though they looked good and I’d order a queso for sure next time! We got the flan con rompope ($ 4) and a caramel candy made with goat’s milk and pecan bits ($ 1.50). The candy is one wrapped piece, and if you get it I’d recommend breaking it up and sprinkling the bits over the flan for crunch, as we did. However, I’d have to say I wouldn’t order the candy at the restaurant again as the next day I happened to notice Luciano’s Grocery (1714 W 18^th) down the street also sells these candies right by the register for 79 cents each, now that I knew what they were! Still good with the flan and glad we tried it there, though. The flan was also creamy and tasty enough to clear the plate despite how full we were ten minutes earlier.
The service was great, very attentive to refilling waters, clearing empty dishes, etc. We were also pleased to have had such a delicious meal, plus plenty for leftovers, and just barely spend $ 40! BYOB for the win. I’m happy to see a restaurant with some different offerings from the many taquerias (no knock intended, I love cheap tacos) in the area serve something a little more upscale while staying affordable. We’ll definitely be back, and would recommend to everyone as well!

This is my #2 time at this restaurant the food it great and staff has excellent customer service. I recommend this restaurant to everyone. The prices are decent and we even had leftovers.

Some polarizing reviews so far of this ‘new’ place but how’s the saying go? You don’t know till you try, right?
Tuesday night, fairly slow. Party of 4 reservation was unnecessary. Service was friendly and everyone had a smile.
BYOB and cash only. I was pleasantly surprised by the prices. I think being BYOB helps keep the prices reasonable. ATM in restaurant.
Food was phenomenal. Aracherra by the kilo… yes, by the kilo! Homemade tortillas… a nice variety of salsas… wasn’t a single thing I put in my mouth that wasn’t delicious!
High recommendations… looking forward to going back next time I’m in Chicago…

Different menu than Nuevo León but same quality and quantity! Our excellent server recommended Huevos Rancheros with skirt steak and it was one of the best skirt steaks I’ve ever had. Melted in my mouth. Cowboy beans on the side. Awesome tortillas. Complimentary excellent chicken soup. Don’t get me wrong I can’t wait for Nuevo to reopen but you can’t get a better breakfast than this. We will definitely be back.

Decided to take a chance by not listening to the bad reviews. We were a party of three. The menu was very limited and the food was mediocre at best. Menu prices were that of a more upscale restaurant but without the upscale service. On top of that, I had no idea it was only cash until after my check came and was told by the waiter. For a party of three our check was close to $ 90.00 and that was with no alcohol drinks. A failed attempt at an up scale restaurant in my opinion. Certainly for the prices there are far better restaurants for Mexican food. Not worth it in my opinion but if you do decide to try it be sure and take cash.

Guac was just smushed avocado, no flavor. I expected a more homey, hole in the wall feel, but it seemed a little too commercial. The food was really good, especially the steak dishes, and the staff was very friendly. It’s worth a visit but just waiting until Neuvo León Comes back!

I was in mood for Mexican breakfast and unfortunately Nuevo León burned down, so I decided to finally give canton regio a try.
I’m glad I did. Immediately as I walked in I was greeted by the staff and seated.
My waiter introduced his self and asked if I wanted coffee which was bought out immediately
I looked at menu but only seen one breakfast item until Jhoan (waiter) told me the breakfast menu.
I decided on the huevos rancheros with steak.
It was excellent. The new ranchero sauce they use on eggs was very tasty. And the charro beans are amazing! They still have the beat home made flour tortillas and the rice was good too.
The waiter and staff took care of me way better then they used to at Nuevo León.
My only complaint was the breakfast menu isn’t on the actual menu. Price was a bit higher but still very reasonable.
I will definitely continue to come back.

Felicidades con su nuevo restaurant muy buena comida y excelente servicio que más se puede esperar de la familia del Nuevo León! Se los recomiendo a todo mundo … Que Dios los bendiga!!!

I loved Canton Regio. The décor was beautiful! The food was delicious. Their arrachera steak was so tender and juicy I would highly recommend it. Their service was outstanding. I had a lovely experience and I was very excited to try a new restaurant! Their menu was limited but with fewer items they concentrate on making everything perfect. You have to check this place out.

This evening I had dinner at the new Canton Regio and I was sadly displeased with my experience. The temperature outside was 1 degree and it was not much warmer inside, we ate with our coats on. The menu was very limited and the prices were higher than I expected. The restaurant is BYOB and I was surprised that what I thought was a can of soda was $ 2.50, it turned out what I got was an 8 oz bottle of Diet Coke. That is a rip off. We had a half kilo of arrachera which was enough for three people, rice and beans (all good). Overall I was displeased with my experience. We had a choice earlier in the evening to go to Giordano’s or Canton Regio for dinner we made the wrong choice.

Really excellent service. We had one main waiter and like five other guys just cleaning reefilling and tending to us. Instead of a mini sopita de fideo they gave us taco de guisado de puerco. Soo good. The food was excellent char broiled tasting arrechera and fresh savory nopale salad. Salsas were tasty not spicy. Handmade tortillas de harina and de maiz! Great spot. Excellent food presentation and soothing ambiance.

This place was an overpriced poor quality experience. Yes this is the place owned by Nuevo León but a big fail. Stay clear as its a very poor experience. Oh and it is cash only with downtown prices.
Peter h obviously is confused and probably works at the restaurant. Look at Facebook’s comments and you will find many people agree. Peter stay home if you can’t warm people about this place

This place is freakin awesome. Skirt steak and cactus leaf, super food. Don’t be a cheapo and listen to Dan L’s review. He probably wants a 2 for 5 special from burger king. Anyways I had a great dining experience. If you walk away unsatisfied its your fault. I’ll be back asap.

THIS PLACE.
You all need to go to here. Now. Stop reading this review, get yourself a sixer of 5 Rabbit Gringolandia and go.
Seriously. I’ll wait.
Ok, aren’t you glad you went? You hopefully ordered the arrachera by the kilo, and maybe a vegetable skewer for the table. You hopefully did NOT, as we did, decide to overrule the waiter and order 2 kilos of arrachera, two vegetable skewers (which are really six of them, each roughly a foot long), and a mountain of guacamole for 5 adults.
Because if you did that, you’d have a fridge full of leftovers like I do.
And that’s not a bad thing at all.

I would highly recommend this location, just across the street from the old restaurant Nuevo León they have upgraded there food selection and it’s extremely good. Prices are a bit higher but well worth it. Please support this business as its a local family business that I’ve had the pleasure of coming two for over 18 years. They will rebuild but in the meantime check them out. Very good food not disappointed at all.

Love this new place right across the street from Nuevo Leon! Same owners too! Very friendly service. I had the Arrachera (skirt steak) it was well seasoned and really tender! I really enjoyed the charro beans also they were full of flavor! And their salsas are just perfect! Very nice décor with high ceilings! This place is sure to impress even your most Mexican food fanatic. This will soon become one of Pilsens favorite spots forsure!
