A Celebrated Chicago Chef Opens a Trio of Modern Mexican Restaurants at Downtown Disney | Eater LA
"Situated on the second floor with 180 seats, this full-service modern Mexican restaurant—designed by Jorge Gracia with furnishings from La Metropolitana and dinnerware by Anfora—delivers a menu that leans heavily on Gaytán’s Tzuco roots. Fans will recognize steamed lamb barbacoa, tuna ceviche, and chicharrón de pescado (whole deep-fried red snapper), and his mother Teresa “Tete” Romero’s cochinita pibil (marinated pork shank roasted in banana leaves) arrives with refried beans and salsa habanero tatemado; Gaytán even flew his mother to Chicago to secure her approval. About 50 percent of the menu is Tzuco-inspired—what he describes as being like his mom’s kitchen—Paseo is currently open for dinner with lunch and weekend brunch coming soon, takes reservations on OpenTable, and is also open for walk-ins." - Bill Esparza
