"Patria Cocina in Grant Park is the kind of upbeat place to spread out over masa-thick sopes, juicy carne asada, and silky iced horchata lattes with your crew. The patio is big enough for the whole group, as is the brightly lit dining room. It all feels inviting, so it's easy to get comfortable gossiping while you dig into buttery salmon la parrilla and other bright flavors of the Jalisco coast. It’s a reliably great hangout where even a chaotic group dinner or brunch feels polished." - jacinta howard, juli horsford
"The first thing that will catch your eye is the shelves stacked with agave spirits, many of them small family-owned brands. But there's a trio of colorful agua frescas that will invite you to put those tequilas to the test. And while we could play all day in Patria Cocina's choices from their extensive drink menu, we really enjoy the food here, too. Their menu of Mexican classics like sopes and carne asada are some of the tastiest in the city and come well dressed with bright sauces and vegetable garnishes. The Grant Park hub always packs a full house with families and friend meetups." - nina reeder, demarco williams, juli horsford, jacinta howard

"Located at the bustling Beacon complex in Grant Park, this Mexican restaurant owned by Roxana and Octavio Aguirre (El Mexicano), features a menu filled with street tacos, fajitas, ceviche, and weekly specials paired with some of the best margaritas in town. Kick off the meal on the large sunny patio with queso mixed with jalapeños and chorizo." - Eater Staff
