Editorial Review

Mexican restaurant/sports bar offers something for everyone. No need to fight over the remote here, just pick a different bar stool. Grab your grandpa, his Oaxacan trophy wife, and catch the Cubs game. Menu features upscale versions of Mexican classics, from elote to damn good tacos. Comfy atmosphere heavy on the dark woods, perfect for waiting out a summer rainshower. DJ's and live bands on weekends will give gramps hip dysplasia if he goes nuts on the tequila, but he's insured, right?
