Essential Information

Street Address 5350 N Broadway
Chicago, IL

Little earthquakes—like plantain nachos and raisin-studded empanadas—shake up the traditional Pan-Latin terrain at this Far North café. But you will be no worse for wear, especially when expertly grilled meats, like churrasco chimichurri, are involved. And if you need to bridge the gap between the refined flavors and the casual digs, just suck down a couple of mean margaritas, and all will be right in the world.
