In Short
This Edgewater restaurant is anything but ''little'' with a spacious dining room, open kitchen and high ceilings. A corner location allows plenty of natural light to spill into windows, bringing out a rich palette of bright greens, reds, and yellows. Sepia-toned photographs of Mexico and Chicago appear on the walls opposite the center-situated round bar. The upbeat Mexican music complements the lively atmosphere and flavorful fare, including a sampler of seven salsas.
