Creative Mexican cuisine, tacos, and drinks in a stylish setting
"Alta Calidad is the best Mexican option in the neighborhood. The spacious outdoor patio tends to reach full capacity on weekends, when they offer an all-day brunch menu. But whenever you find yourself here, remember that you can’t go wrong with a couple of steak or fish tacos and a side of queso loaded with chorizo." - nikko duren
"This stylish Mexican restaurant is bright and modern, with light-flooded windows and comfy banquettes, while the communal table and cozy bar lined with stools are great spaces to socialize and make new friends.Alta Calidad, means “high quality” and this talented chef certainly puts his money where his mouth is. Crispy tempura shrimp are set atop a tortilla with crunchy cabbage remoulade for an original dish, while paper-thin carne asada sprinkled with Chihuahua cheese and griddled until caramelized and crisp is another standout. Oregano roasted chicken tacos are simply finished with avocado-chipotle aioli and salsa cruda, or order the skewer of octopus, pork belly and potatoes over poblano rice. Churros with acacia honey and chocolate atole sauce are just right." - Michelin Inspector
"Atla Calidad has small and large batches of tequila and margarita cocktails available for pickup or delivery via their website. Check their Instagram for more information." - nikko duren
"Even after 13 years, Chuko remains the most consistently great spot for a big bowl of ramen in Prospect Heights. Start your meal with pork buns, then move on to the quintessential kimchi ramen, and be sure to get an egg on top. It’s worth noting that the vegetarian ramen is considerably more flavorful than other vegetarian versions we’ve tried around the city. This place gets busy, and you’ll probably have to wait for a table, but if you don’t mind eating at a bar, you should get seated faster." - bryan kim, hannah albertine, nikko duren, willa moore
"Alta Calidad is enjoying the summer with an outdoor cantina. The cantina features a weekly rotating menu of frozen drinks, live music, and standout dishes like oregano roasted chicken tacos and churros with acacia honey." - Kevin Chau
