FONDA cantina

Mexican restaurant · Evanston

"Chef Miguel Escobar, sous chef Carlos Cahue, and wine director Sergio Angel leverage this newish Mexican restaurant as a platform to highlight the cuisine they grew up eating Huandacareo in Michoacan and Huitzuco in Guerrero. Longtime colleagues and business partners of Lachowicz (Aboyer, George Trois), the trio are bestowing dishes like chile relleno (queso Oaxaca, pintos martajados) and pork rendering-laced sope manteca upon Evanston." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
