This Logan Square spot is an offshoot of the popular eatery of the same name in northwest suburban Arlington Heights. This city outpost is nearly three times the size of the original with seating for 300 and, come summer 2009, a tequila lounge on the lower level. Though the menus vary slightly between locations, you can expect expertly crafted moles and smooth margaritas across the board. You'll find all of the usual Mexican standards at this location, including enchiladas and fajitas, as well as more complex plates such as red snapper in cilantro sauce and a half Amish chicken doused in mole negro. As for the 'ritas, they're super-smooth, flavored with ingredients such as passionfruit juice, melon and vanilla.
