Editorial Review
You're in store for a down-to-earth palette and regional Mexican menu choices at this eatery tucked away in River North. The mild décor doesn't mean you're not dining in modern upscale style, however: Small plates are the rule. Their cazuelas (dishes served in small earthenware containers of the same name) are not to be missed, and neither is their queso fundido (cheese fondue) with panela cheese and mezcal. Mojitos and margaritas are bursting with tropical flavors.
