I was in Chicago, super hungry after a spectacular architectural boat cruise, and for some reason, just craving Meican food.
After a mile of wandering in the Gold Coast section, we stumbled upon Chicago New Robozo by Chef Paco. Located on E Superior between Rush and Wabash, and sister restaurant to the 24 year old location in Oak Park, this place is the real deal.For one, they boast having the world's best mole in Chicago. My son had six different varieties - six! - and enjoyed them all.
I loved the guacamole with the red chip accent - it just felt whimsical. The chips were perfectly crispy, salty and corn-y, and the salsa was bursting with fresh flavor.
I ordered the vegan veggie taco special - red and white cabbage, jicama and raisins with sweet ancho chile sauce and a side of rice and beans.
Those tacos knocked it out of the park! Juicy, flavorful, tangy, crunchy...I am beyond full but it was worth every bite!
If you are in Chicago, or plan to be sometime soon, I highly recommend copying my itinerary from today!
