Matilda | Chicago’s Vibey Mexican Spot 🇲🇽✨

After yoga in River North, feeling light — my stomach also wanted something light and fresh 🌿. So I headed to nearby Matilda (recommended by a food-savvy friend). 🧡 Conchas Mariscoperas (seafood scallop) — tangy and spicy, refreshing and appetite-whetting. 🌮 Carne Asada Taco — flavorful meat, super satisfying. 🥔 Sweet Plantain & Chorizo Taco — sweet-salty combo that’s unexpectedly addictive. 🥣 Quesabirria + Consommé — dipped and devoured — so aromatic! 🍲 Cheek Birria — rich but not heavy sauce, keeps you coming back for more. Dessert tried two: 🍮 Tejuino Ice Cream & Chocolate — not really my type. 🌽 Elote Quemado (grilled corn) — BUT THIS!! Seriously delicious!! I’d go back just for this 😆🙌. In short: When you’re craving Mexican but don’t want it too heavy — Matilda is a great choice. 📍 535 N Wells St, Chicago, IL 60654 #ChicagoEats #VibeyDining #HiddenGem #ChicagoMexicanFood #PostYogaEats 🌮🍃
