Zocalo Restaurant and Tequila Bar, Chicago

Experience a bit of the culinary sensuousness that drives the people of Mexico! This cozy, elegant little restaurant serves up delicacies like Grilled Cornish Hen, marinated-to-a-pickle Pork Tenderloin, and Octopus Ceviche in a throat-warming pineapple-ginger sauce. A jolly bartender puts together a plethora of margaritas—the country's national drink—generously doused with tequila and served in salt-rimmed glasses for a lip-smacking response. Fresh juices lace the drinks, while some cocktails are served in curious little bowls for the exotic effect. Patrons savor these and other delights amid earthy tones and woody furnishings, leaving them quite satiated.
