Premium tequila and Mexican small plates replace fiesta kitsch in the former Chilpancingo space.
Housed in a re-purposed warehouse space behind the Ohio Street on-ramp, this nuevo Mexican cantina attracts a stylish River North crowd to its long tequila bar and dining room done up in rustic wood and colorful local art. The menu is a small plates format featuring familiar Mexican ingredients in unfamiliar preparations; guacamole comes in a flight, an al pastor preparation is deconstructed and queso fundido is flamed tableside a la saganaki.
