Pleasantly surprised that downtown Skokie has added a very fresh new cuisine offering.

Warm atmosphere. Good service. A veritable wall of chefs standing at-the-ready. Outdoor patio. All in all, 3.5 stars out of 4!
We had a very nice time at Libertad with our friends. The food was delicious, but the menu was a little hard to follow. Would like to see little larger portions for the price, but all in all I would have to agree and give them a 3.5 out of 4. Try it this weekend!
