Lunch (Sat, Sun), dinner
Average main course: $14This Lincoln Park spot serves both Mexican and Caribbean fare, but you’ll do best forgoing anything tropical-sounding and sticking with traditional, well-executed south-of-the-border staples. Creamy guacamole, enchiladas in smoky mole sauce and nicely grilled carne asada somehow seem fancier served in the candlelit dining room, but beware of potent margaritas that can make the meal seem a little out of focus.
