Today we celebrate Mexico, our roots, our traditions and all the flavors that bring us together 🇲🇽

We were especially proud to celebrate Mexican Independence Day by catering a special panel discussion and reception at the National Museum of Mexican Art, hosted in partnership with the Illinois Corn Growers Association, exploring the impact of the Latin community on food, art, and labor.

Corn is at the heart of so much of Mexican food culture, and it’s especially meaningful to us at Atotonilco. We make our own tortillas, using one of the most important ingredients in our cuisine and carrying on a tradition that connects generations.

Thank you to the Illinois Corn Growers Association and the National Museum of Mexican Art for trusting Atotonilco to be part of such a special day.

And if you didn’t make it to the celebration, you know where to order your next catering 😉

We’re open until 11pm on weekdays, Fridays 3am and Saturdays until 4am, because we know the cravings don’t always clock out early.

¡Viva México! 🇲🇽

Just minutes from Grant Park, we’re the perfect stop for authentic Mexican food before you head to the gates or after you’ve danced all day. Skip the overpriced festival food and keep the good vibes going with tacos, tortas, beers and more.

Open late all Lolla weekend. See you before the first set or after the final encore.

Gracias, Selección Mexicana 🇲🇽

For letting us dream and experience the best World Cup, for making us scream every goal from afar, for making us feel close to Mexico even when we’re thousands of miles away. Because when you live away from home, you miss your family, the streets, the sounds even more, but you also feel an even stronger pride in knowing where you come from.

These weeks, Mexicans around the world came together in one voice. We hugged strangers, filled tables with food, and filled our hearts with green, white and red.

We showed to the world how we welcome everyone with open arms, celebrate with our whole soul and never give up.

Today it hurts. Of course it hurts. But we’re left with the hope that this team gave us something we needed so much: the ability to believe again.

Thank you for everything, El Tri ❤️

Today, we don’t need to change our name to Spanish.

Our taquerias are proudly named Atotonilco, after a small town in Los Altos, highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. It comes from the Nahuatl language and means “place of hot waters,” a name that reminds us where our warmth, our hospitality and our love for sharing a meal come from.

Because you can leave Mexico, but Mexico never leaves your heart.

Mexico isn’t just a place on a map. It’s the way we work hard, celebrate louder, welcome everyone to the table and always find a reason to keep going.

No matter how many years we’ve lived in this country, every time El Tri takes the field, our hearts beat a little faster. Today we cheer from Chicago, surrounded by family, friends, tacos and the traditions we carry wherever life takes us.

Kickoff is at 7pm. Place your orders to-go and bring Atotonilco your watch party 🇲🇽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

¡Vamooooos México! 💚🤍❤️

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

Today we celebrate the country so many families, including ours, are proud to call home. Built by people from many backgrounds and generations, America is stronger because of the communities that help shape it every day.

We're closed today so our team can celebrate with their families. Thank you for making us part of your traditions, we wish you a safe, joyful holiday and can't wait to welcome you back tomorrow at 10am 🌮✨

Being Mexican means believing until the very last minute.

Tonight, gather the family and order all your Atotonilco favorites for takeout.
