    I saw this place on TikTok two years ago moving to Chicago. I was wary it would be another 'viral' place' but after two years of restaurant weeks and having my 30th birthday here, Azul has proven themselves to fulfill and surpass any expectations on social media. Amazing food, fun familial vibes, strong drinks, and very compassionate staff. Love this place and will always come back. Thank you for a phenomenal night!

    Service was okay. We had to ask for the basic items like water, straws and napkins. These are usually items that should automatically be offered. The elote was alright. The jerk tacos were delicious and my skirt steak was too salty. The music was so loud I could barely hear my friend but I imagine this spot is ideal during the summer months

    The vibes are immaculate here. Not sure why it isn’t more packed!! We went here before a show at the Salt Shed and it was a great meal, and a great way to get excited for our concert.
