About Us
Welcome to Chicago's Wicker Park Mexican Hot spot. These days, the place is a sit-down restaurant offering more sophisticated dinner entrees from the restaurant's co-partner, chef Dudley Nieto. The menu features a rotating cast of dishes from different regions of Mexico, all more sophisticated than typical tacos and burritos. The high-ceiling dining room has plenty of seating, and a Mexico-inspired warmth shows through in modern, earth-toned decor that incorporates natural materials.
