We came to this restaurant and were so excited to try because it was BYOB…. only to be told you have to order 2 PLATES per person to partake in this.

Amazing food and friendly owner! The coconut braise pork shoulder was incredible, so was the skirt steak and the ceviche. Best meal my wife and I have had in a long time and definitely a hidden gem in Chicago. Absolutely coming back here!
