Chicago’s Best New Restaurants Of 2021

"When we ate the birria at this casual Mexican spot in Humboldt Park the restaurant dissolved around us like pixels in The Matrix and nothing existed besides the truth of braised meat and flavorful red consomé. While birria is the specialty, the menu also includes fantastic chilaquiles, possibly the best rice and fried beans in Chicago, and quesabirria made from handmade tortillas that can withstand repeated broth dunkings without disintegrating. There’s a short beer menu, and there are always some free tables for a walk-in group dinner. Plus, it’s decorated with a large pop art mural that’s colorful enough to pull us back into reality—though we’re not holding that against it." - adrian kane
