Baja Med seafood spot with ceviche, octopus, grilled fish
"Pop-ups are a little like restaurant one-night stands, and for that reason we rarely add them to our guides. But we're making an exception for Sueños in the West Loop. This great Baja-influenced seafood spot is operating out of Soho House until May of 2023, which means you have plenty of time to make reservations. And you should, because the food is delicious. The menu has plates like perfectly acidic snapper ceviche, smoky octopus skewers, and buttery garlic shrimp that are great for sharing. The busy space is upbeat, with a bass-heavy playlist, couples on dates, and groups grabbing dinner and drinks in the neighborhood." - adrian kane, john ringor
"Pop-ups are a little like restaurant one-night stands, and it can be hard to know if they’re hyped because they’re great, or because you’re bored and want something new. This great Baja-influenced seafood spot is a pop-up operating out of Soho House until January, which means you have plenty of time to make reservations. And you should, because the food is delicious. The menu has plates like perfectly acidic snapper ceviche, smoky octopus skewers, and buttery garlic shrimp that are great for sharing. The busy space is upbeat, with a bass-heavy playlist, couples on dates, and small groups grabbing dinner and drinks in the neighborhood. Plus, they occasionally have a $185 tasting menu, just in case you have something to celebrate between now and January." - adrian kane
"Sueños, his upscale Mexican restaurant that takes a more refined look at the Baja Med nostalgia that Sandoval, a San Diego native, grew up with. Folks who made it to Sandoval’s Soho House residency will feel comfortable with Diego’s menu." - Ashok Selvam
"I’m excited about Sueños X Soho House because, even without a permanent home yet, chef Stephen Sandoval used the West Loop pop-up residency to introduce his remarkable Baja Med cooking to a larger audience." - Ashok Selvam
"A bi-monthly, 20-seat dinner series blending Baja Med influences—Mexican, Asian, and Mediterranean—into small plates, shared entrees, beverage pairings, and a seafood cart, presented as an intimate, prix-fixe tasting experience." - Naomi Waxman
