"Casual new modern Mexican restaurant La Victoria is open at 2447 N. Milwaukee Avenue in the former home of Hemingway-inspired restaurant Papa Cenar. It’s the eighth neighborhood spot from restaurateur Esam Hani, who operates La Victoria with business partner Frank Monroy and managing partner Carlos Alferez. A wide-ranging menu from chef Ryan Wombacher includes tacos guisados, coal-grilled pulpo a las brasas, and tlayuda con cahpulines." - Naomi Waxman
