๐ฎ Reborn in Chicago: My Foodie Journey Begins at Tzuco! ๐ฎ
๐ Location: 720 N State St, Chicago, IL 60654 (In the foodie paradise of River North - where most spots are surefire hits! ๐ฏ) ๐ฝ๏ธ First Impressions: When you think Mexican food ๐ฒ๐ฝ, do taco trucks come to mind? Well, Tzuco will blow your expectations away! ๐ฅ Google Maps describes it as "Mexican tradition meets French technique" - and just reading that got me excited! ๐คฉ ๐ Dinner Menu (Pic 1): We arrived around 5:30-6PM - busy but no wait! ๐โ ๐น Drinks (Pic 3): We tried: Horchata (Mexican rice drink) - Super grainy ๐ (Usually smooth, but this one had chunky rice bits... Thankfully, the server noticed I wasn't drinking it and kindly took it off our bill! ๐) Tzuco Margarita (Server's rec) - Now THIS hit the spot! ๐ธ๐ซ ๐ฅ Appetizers: Mayan Ceviche (Hamachi) ๐๐๐๐ - Sweet, tangy with mango & lime - no fishy taste! ๐ฅญ๐ Guacamole ๐๐๐๐ - Classic chips & dip perfection! ๐ฅ๐ (Heard the grilled octopus is amazing though... Next time! ๐โจ) ๐ฅ Side Dish: Esparragos (Asparagus) ๐๐๐ - Meh. Stick to salads. ๐ฅ๐ ๐ Main Event: Costilla De Res (Short Rib) ๐๐๐๐๐ - A whole beef short rib for DIY tacos! ๐๐ฎ (So filling, I packed half for friends!) ๐ Dessert: Durazno (Peach Mousse) ๐๐๐๐ - Gorgeous peach-shaped dessert with jam inside! ๐๐ (Not too sweet - and they have other cute shapes too!) ๐ก Pro Tip: Check their website for mouthwatering pics of every dish! ๐ฑ๐ฝ๏ธ Why Tzuco Stands Out: โจ Elevated Mexican-French fusion ๐จ Instagram-worthy plating (especially desserts!) ๐ถ Vibrant yet intimate atmosphere #ChicagoEats #MexicanCuisine #FrenchMexicanFusion #ChicagoFoodie #TravelGram #FoodExplorer
