"Classic margaritas come via the glass or pitcher at Vela, a Mexican restaurant and bar from the owners of Celeste. This River North establishment features one of the city’s largest agave libraries." - Sam Nelson

"This restaurant and bar is inspired by Mexico City with a strong list of 10 signature cocktails. A michelada is made with soy sauce and comes with a shrimp garnish. Carajillo de oja is made with espresso and orange brulee. The venue is from the owners of the Celeste Group." - Ashok Selvam

"A candle-lit meal never fails to create a romantic atmosphere is an idea not lost on the folks at Vela whose name means “candle” in Spanish and features plenty of its namesake throughout the River North space. But this River North newcomer is much more than its flattering lighting. Chef Jorge Angulo finds inspiration in the cultural diversity of Mexico City crafting dishes rooted in tradition but not limited by them. Hand-pressed tortillas, deeply flavorful salsas and moles, and traditional cooking techniques serve as the culinary backbone at Vela." - Lisa Shames

"This sexy new Mexico City-inspired restaurant is taking a build-your-own approach to its $75 four-course NYE menu. Choose any two items from the entradas, del mar, and del Jardin, and one from the principals and dessert menu sections. Dishes range from Hamachi ceviche and head-on prawns to short rib barbacoa. Reservations are available on OpenTable." - Lisa Shames
