Zombie Taco Mexican restaurant
Say hello to Zombie Taco, Chicago River North's popular taco counter and pick-up window serving tacos, burritos & house-made chips and dips. Good for breakfast or late-night cravings, live a little and let us give you something to taco 'bout.
Topolobampo Mexican restaurant
Topolobampo immerses you in the flavors of a story. Sometimes a story of people and places, a time now distant, or even works of art that offer a glimpse into the uniqueness of Mexican life. Every story is deeply rooted in Mexico, and so is the food, though rarely does it resemble what you’d find in a traditional Mexican kitchen. Topolo presents Mexican cuisine through a contemporary, fine-dining lens, while bringing vibrant excitement and adventure that is sure to enchant even the most experienced culinary travelers.
Frontera Grill Mexican restaurant
Chef Rick Bayless' always busy flagship where creative Mexican fare is served in a festive space.
XOCO Mexican restaurant
Xoco—pronounced “SHO-ko”—is the Aztec word for “little sister.” But there’s nothing little about Xoco’s bold Mexican marketplace flavors. Open early and closing late, this quick-service café from Rick and Deann Bayless proffers contemporary expressions of Mexico’s most beloved street food and snacks: flaky empanadas, hot-from-the-fryer churros, frothy Mexican hot chocolate, crusty tortas and meal-in-a-bowl caldos.
