Mas Alla del Sol is one of the best mexican restaurants in Chicago for dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Edgewater.

Editorial review•Dec 9, 2025

Mas Alla del Sol is the kind of Edgewater neighborhood anchor that earns loyalty the old-fashioned way: a clear culinary point of view, ownership that actually gives a damn about sourcing, and prices that keep the regulars coming back weekly rather than waiting for a special occasion. Chef Adan Moreno and co-owner Mirella Moreno built this place in 2013 on the same philosophy that drove their sister restaurant Los Nopales — fresh ingredients sourced with intention, not approximation. Adan personally selects the tomatillos, the Mexican avocados, the beef for the carne asada. At price level one, that level of procurement attention is genuinely unusual, and it's what separates Mas Alla del Sol from the category of Mexican-ish bar food that fills this neighborhood tier. The menu centers on grilled proteins handled with real technique and sauced with complexity. The Carne Mas Alla del Sol — the namesake dish — is a grilled skirt steak over a chile morita-tomato sauce with frijoles borrachos, seared Panela cheese, fried cebollitas, and avocado relish. That layering of smoky dried chile, drunk beans, and charred alliums around a quality cut is a kitchen making an argument, not just filling a plate. The Tampiquena leans into the Veracruz-influenced tradition: grilled skirt steak alongside a cheese enchilada suiza, with guacamole, rice, beans, and salad — a format that diners who know their regional Mexican cooking will recognize as a benchmark order. The Costillas, roasted baby back ribs in a chile ancho, pineapple, and tequila sauce served with grilled jicama and cactus petal, signals a kitchen willing to go somewhere unexpected with its sides. The room has a long bar and a pool table, which tells you something about the vibe: this is a place comfortable with groups, with lingering, with a Tuesday night beer and a plate of something serious. The outdoor seating and happy hour make it a natural early-evening anchor. Hours skew toward evenings Wednesday through Friday, with Saturday and Sunday offering the widest windows — Saturday lunch at noon is the move if you want the full menu without the weekend dinner crowd. The Carne Mas Alla del Sol is the dish to lead with; it's the one that puts the kitchen's sourcing philosophy on the plate in the most direct terms.
