The Best Restaurants In Bucktown - Chicago - The Infatuation
"Mirra’s crispy scallop taco with green curry lasts only two bites, but you’ll be trying to decipher the combination of Mexican and Indian flavors days later. The dishes at this spot are bright, spicy, and mostly group-friendly, like the charred cauliflower salad or a barbacoa biryani with juicy lamb inside a roti seal. Bring some friends who care about heat and analyzing salsas more than interior design. Mirra’s small space is a bit generic—three words: more basket lights—but their menu is so memorable that you won’t mind. Mirra drops their reservations two months in advance, so book early for a prime weekend spot. Some reservations are available within only a day or two, but only at times like 4:30pm or 9pm. And though they do take walk-ins for some of their high-tops until 10pm, we still haven’t had any luck with that. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - john ringor, adrian kane, nick allen
