Chicago’s Best Mexican Restaurants | Eater Chicago
"‘Cariño’ isn’t just the name of this restaurant; it’s the warm, fuzzy feeling that wraps around you the moment you walk in — the kind of affection that the word embodies in Spanish. And while this restaurant does not necessarily consider itself Mexican, the menu is intended to pay homage to Latin America’s rich culinary landscape, there is quite a generous nod to Mexican cuisine here. Chef and co-owner Norm Fenton’s (Brass Heart, Schwa) journey has inspired him to deliver a menu of innovative Mexican dishes. Guests will be delighted with a 12- to 16-course tasting menu featuring dishes such as an oyster michelada and a ravioli plate stuffed with the earthy corn fungus known as huitlacoche. Reservations can be made via Tock." - Brenda Storch
