El Metro Café

Chicago restaurant and bar closures for 2021 - Eater Chicago

"Ukrainian Village: Neighborhood Mexican restaurant El Metro Cafe will permanently close on May 16 after a dozen years in business, ownership announces in a Facebook post. “With our hearts filled with gratitude and satisfaction, we are ready to announce that after 12 years of memorable experiences, delicious food shared, and the wonderful people we met, El Metro Café is closing its doors to open ourselves to new adventures,” the post reads. El Metro’s owners also previously ran Spanish-Mexican spot Gaudi Cafe, which closed in 2016 after two years." - Naomi Waxman
