"What To Expect: Moe’s in River North calls itself a Mexican restaurant, but it’s actually just a large bar that’s only open Thursday-Saturday nights. There are TVs, big booths, lots of tables, and a massive bar—perfect to host all 100 members of your alumni club until the furniture is cleared away and the place turns into a club. What’s Up With The Food: It costs $13 for quesadillas that are like grocery-store tortillas microwaved with a slab of congealed cheese in the middle. But after enough margaritas, you won’t mind taking advantage of the $4 taco special even if the chicken tinga tastes freezer-burned. Verdict: The music is good and the crowd is lively, so come here for a decent Happy Hour with just-fine drinks. But if you decide to stick around later in the night, when 2005’s Top 40 hits turn into Reggaeton, just subsist on guac and chips." - veda kilaru, adrian kane
