A Prospect Heights dining-room take on modern Mexican cooking where the move is composed small plates and a serious cocktail lane. Build the meal around one standout starter and one main—otherwise the richer dishes can blur together fast at this price point.
Must-Try Dishes:
Queso Fundido, Snapper Tostaditas, Carne Asada
What Makes it Special: Chef-driven Mexican plates with a polished cocktail-forward feel.
A reliable, all-day Cal-Mex style counter with the city’s classic burrito-and-frozen-margarita rhythm. It shines when you order like a regular—one burrito or taco set plus chips—rather than turning it into a sprawling sampler.
Must-Try Dishes:
Super Chicken Burrito, Fish Tacos, Frozen Margarita
What Makes it Special: A long-running burrito counter built for repeatable, fast satisfaction.
