Shaman

I met Rachel when she hosted a shamanic journey session and immediately appreciated her straight forward, practical approach. And I trusted her instantly,...

Rachel is THE REAL DEAL! I have had a tarot reading and I recently had a very insightful while simultaneously entertaining channeling session with her....

Mexican small plates at a friendly neighborhood spot serving amazing food and offering great service. The menu changes regularly but the time I went my favorite dishes were the mahi mahi ceviche, pork belly tacos and grilled pork ribs. It's BYOB and you can bring beer wine or tequila (to mix with the house pitchers).

The food was fine and not as expensive in the end as I expected. The restaurant is a bit overbearing with its rules. It also seems to be designed to be unnecessarily loud. Overall, it was fine for one meal but probably not a repeat.

Not sure how this is the only byob place in west town open past 10, but that's how I discovered it. Fantastic food - pork belly tacos were my favorite. The atmosphere is a bit odd and could use some updating, but the prices and quality more than make up for it.

We enjoyed another meal at Shaman, trying the hen this time. The food is so good here, with many flavors to tantalize the taste buds. I love the owner, she is a sweetie and took real good care of our requests. This is by far, my favorite restaurant in Chicago. It also helps that it's a BYOB as my family can drink copious amounts. We had the Sangria mix and brought our wine. Now I'm hooked on the Sangria. Can't wait to return.

I recently hosted my friends birthday dinner at Shaman on a Wednesday evening. We had about 25 people and we rented out the entire place! Reserving the dinner was very easy and the owner was very responsive to my requests and needs. The entire staff helped me set up for the birthday and as guest started to arrive they were very helpful in taking peoples coats and getting everyone a fresh beverage. For dinner we had a set menu with I think close to 6 courses and every items was absolutely delicious, there was not an empty stomach in the room. Shaman is BYOB so my guests enjoyed brining in the beverage of choice! The pictures on the website is very similar to what the space looks like and I loved the exposed brick walls. Overall I am looking forward to my next visit and trying more of the menu options! I would def hold another private party there and or attend when I want a yummy meal out! Also you must try the guacamole...some of the best in town!

The food here, small plates of gourmet Mexican food, is incredible. And because the menu changes on a monthly basis, it's always a new experience. Of course, there are staples on the menu that never change as well. The servers have always been super friendly and accommodating with alchohol (It's BYOB). So glad this place opened up!

I absolutely love this place....a small and cozy neighborhood byob with some of the best ceviche and all-around great mexican small plates. the servers were very friendly and warm, and even invited us back for free dessert when we were too full to order. no frills, excellent food.
