The folks behind the popular John Barleycorn pubs, took over the former Crystal's Car Wash (which is right next door to their Wrigleyville location ), converting it into a modern Mexican cantina -- with lots of Spanish and South American flair. The cavernous barrel-roofed space features glazed acid-stained concrete topped bars, an open kitchen and glass garage doors that retract so you can watch the Clark Street hoo-ha during summer. The menu features small plate choices like skewers and tacos, plus more substantial fare like banana-wrapped halibut and parrillada de carnes -- rib-eye, rib ends, skirt steak and bone-in chicken served on a tabletop grill. Moe, the man behind the name, is a friend of the family who's developed quite a reputation for his culinary skills.
