The 23 Best New Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"This Mexican-Peruvian restaurant in River North is loud and lovely, especially when you want to drink Mexican wine, wave around a tostada for emphasis while you talk, and hang somewhere busy but not chaotic. The small plates have unexpected touches that lean more “oh, that’s nice, I like that” than “oh, how…creative.” The crispy cheese crust on the carne asada taco reminds us why “extra toasty” Cheez-Its exist, and we enjoy fishing for caramelized pear in the scallop aguachile’s thick lychee ponzu broth. Just note that the bare space and concrete-looking, curved walls amplify sound, which means you might be shout-chatting with the person across from you." - adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen, adrian kane, nick allen, nick allen, john ringor, john ringor, nick allen, john ringor, nick allen, nick allen, nick allen, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, adrian kane, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor, john ringor
