    Chilam Balam puts a "punk rock twist" on organic and farm-fresh Mexican tapas. According to Guy, the chicken flautas with pickled cabbage and homemade queso had great crunch and flavor. Baca selanjutnya

    In keeping with the trend of designer tapas in subterranean restaurants, Lakeview's Chilam Balam is a basement-level dive with an upscale pedigree. The shiitake mushroom empanadas are a must-try! Baca selanjutnya

    You can always count on plenty of grilled meats, complex sauces and seafood. Bring a bottle of red wine to make your own sangria or tequila to spike the house-made limeade. Baca selanjutnya

    The sweetbreads are tasty. Ask for a little lime to get a bit of acid in to it. As a BYO, don't forget they'll let you bring wine, beer, OR tequila.

    The grilled flank steak was delectable, and it came with tortillas (to make tacos out of the dish). I will also endorse the guacamole, but you were going to get that already, right?

    Try the seared scallops with a sweet-corn sauce, and the tamales—no matter the flavor of the day—are first-rate. Excellent service and fine homemade hot chocolate. Baca selanjutnya

    Enchiladas potosinas and Pan seared scallops from the December menu are two of the best small plates I've ever eaten. Great food and atmosphere.

    New favorite Mexican joint in Chicago. Tiny, cash only, no reservations - cool vibe. Mostly small plates, so I'll list my three fave - pork short ribs, grilled shrimp, and empanadas.

    A cash only joint, where the chef has the cojones to pull off innovations like fresh oysters with muskmelon mignonette and homemade hot sauce. A pick from Chicago Magazine. Baca selanjutnya
