Wow. Literally the best restaurant I've been to in Chicago, or maybe evenly matched with Topolobampo.
We sat at the kitchen counter - not sure why anyone would sit anywhere else. So wonderful watching everything being created, and it made us want to try things we hadn't ordered, so we will be back.
The food was absolutely perfect. Perfect blends of flavors, perfect cook on both proteins, absolutely excellent presentation and delivery. We ordered an appetizer called Tetela, which was a delightful and plentiful plate, and the chicken tings used int eh dish was savory mouth-watering deliciousness. My husband ordered the salmon which was perfectly cooked and with excellent accompanying garnishes. My shortrib dish was absolutely astonishing, and the salsa verde on the side was perfection. The tortillas - wow! Maybe the best ones I've ever had outside of Mexico.
The drinks were amazing. I had never had a Mexican wine before and I can tell you I was absolutely shocked at how good they were. The wine steward was very knowledgeable and made the decision very easy for us. But the best thing about the drinks was the cocktail called "pibil". I will be sad for the rest of my life that there is only one place I can get this drink. I believe this is an absolutely perfect cocktail (at least for me) and I would drink it every day if I could. Absolutely legendary drink. Perfect combination of flavors, including the very flavorful rim which just brought everything together perfectly.
The service was spectacular - just attentive enough and obviously quite caring, but not intrusive or constant. Every person we interacted with was kind and helpful, and intent on ensuring our experience was pleasurable.
The entire experience was just wonderful, and I plan to return to sample more of their delicious food, absolutely get the pibil cocktail, and enjoy every moment start to finish.
