"Federales opened in 2016 and is the West Loop’s original unhinged boozy taco shitshow. It’s one that involves throwing shot glasses made of ice at a bell, a retractable roof, and a giant patio with bouncers checking IDs and managing the crowd. Make no mistake, this is a margarita spot that serves food, and that food isn’t very good. But if you’re here to eat, you’ve missed the point." - adrian kane
