"Cerdito Muerto is a charming tavern-like spot for excellent Mexican cocktails, small plates, and a little Pilsen history. It used to be a family home that survived the Chicago Fire, but now it’s a candlelit bar-restaurant that’s perfect for catching up over palomas. The food warrants a visit as much as the drinks, like the spicy chicken tinga tacos made with chewy housemade tortillas, and nachos that stack individual chips with duck carnitas, cheese, and some mint. Cerdito Muerto is usually easy for walk-ins, but you can reserve through their email if you are coming with a small group." - Nick Allen
