"A new regional Mexican restaurant is underway in Lincoln Park in the former White Oak Tavern & Inn space. A banner outside announces its new tenant: Old Pueblo Cantina, from Ballyhoo Hospitality, at 1200 W. Webster Avenue. The restaurant, which will focus on the Northern Mexican state of Sonora that borders Arizona, is slated to open this summer. Ballyhoo co-founder Ryan O’Donnell has long hoped to open a restaurant starring Sonoran cuisine having spent a decade in Arizona in his youth. Old Pueblo Cantina staff will make their flour tortillas in-house. Chefs will cook over mesquite wood on an open-flame, a classic Sonoran technique. The menu will feature Sonoran quesadillas, carne asada, chimichangas, enchiladas, tacos, and made-to-order guacamole, with a creative drink list including margaritas and a mezcal Old Fashioned." - Naomi Waxman
