La Cantina Grill

"Amber from HQ likes margaritas. Amber also likes ordering the sort of fajita platter that arrives sizzling like a meteorite and takes up the entire table with all its fixings. So if you have post-conference plans with Amber, you should know about La Cantina. This sit-down Mexican spot has the usual suspects like nachos, enchiladas, burritos, and, yes, fajitas. Come here for an upbeat group dinner, and watch your fingers around the hot skillet right by your drink." - adrian kane, veda kilaru

"This Mexican restaurant almost feels like an extension of McCormick Place, and while it’s not quite Little Village, there’s tasty burritos, tacos, ceviche, and more. There’s more focus on grilled proteins with chicken, pork, and beef options. Of course, some folks don’t want to order a large meal. For them, they can splurge with a heaping pile of nachos which come in different configurations. Yes: there are margaritas." - Ashok Selvam
