This was another must try restaurant I chose for my Chicago tour! It looks bigger in TikTok videos buttttt it was still a cute place nonetheless! The hanging decor from the ceiling, the plants, the Spanish tile flooring along with the neutral tones reminded me of the rainforest and Mexico at the same time. I ordered the elote, potato flautas, the surf and turf torta and my husband got the chicken torta. I got the white sangria which was ehhhh, subpar. But the food honestly made up for the drink. The elote comes with a bed of fresh tortilla chips which I thought was different (in a good way). It's not like the street corn I'm used to on a cob, it's loose corn in a bowl with all the general toppings, Mayo, chili powder, and cheese. The potato flautas were SOOOO GOOD y'all! It's an appetizer so they only give you 4 small pieces but it's very flavorful and served with guacamole and crema on top. The surf and turf torta gives you a generous amount of beef and lobster! I'm talking chunky pieces of lobster! I'm kind of shocked that it didn't cost a little more! My husband regretted getting the chicken torta after he tasted mine - the chicken appears to be fried in Panko crumbs but I could be wrong. Our waiter wasn't very attentive but he was definitely nice - in his defense he was the only waiter there aside from the hostess so that kinda sucked. Overall I really liked it here. If I come back to Chicago in the future I would return to this restaurant.
