The Best-Seasoned Ceviche in Chicago is Hidden in Pilsen! 🌟

I originally planned to visit Amaru, a South American restaurant in Wicker Park, but got frustrated by traffic. So, I decided to explore Pilsen instead. I’ve passed this place countless times, always seeing trendy folks hanging out or waiting in line. Today, I just went with the flow and decided to eat here. 🥹 And I was so glad I did! 🥳 Guava Kiwi Ceviche The first thing I saw on the menu was Ceviche—I ordered it right away! This Guava Kiwi Ceviche is like a refreshing ceviche salad. The sweet and tangy flavors are so addictive, paired with guava and kiwi. After finishing, I just wanted to order two next time and make it my main course! 🍓🥝 Spring Limited Taco Arabes This Taco looks like a regular one, but it’s a total win in both quality and quantity: • The taco shell tastes like a mini version of a Chinese pancake! 😂 • The cheese, marinated pork tenderloin, cucumber, and pomegranate combination is amazing. • Two of these will fill you up! (If you usually eat three tacos, two here will be enough.) 🌮 Mejillones La Luna The menu says these are New Zealand mussels (probably green-lipped mussels?). Each one is super plump. After three or four, I already felt a bit full and tired of chewing. 🤪 But the highlight is the rice at the bottom, soaked in sauce, and paired with sourdough bread—it’s insanely delicious! A carb lover’s dream! 😃 The portion is quite generous, so I recommend sharing if you’re more than two people. Otherwise, you might be too full to move! 🍔 It feels like a great spot for a birthday party! On the day I visited, there were no tables left, so I sat at the bar. I happened to witness a group celebrating a birthday: • The restaurant turns off the lights and lights candles for the celebration! There are also mini cakes and shots. Give them a call if you’re interested. 🎂 • Out of the group of 12, 10 were women celebrating one man’s birthday. They all looked so good together. I was genuinely shocked at how lucky this guy was! Hahaha! 🤣 I couldn’t eat any more this time, but I’ll definitely come back to try more dishes and drinks! 🥂 #ChicagoExplore #ChicagoFood #PilsenEats #LatinCuisine #NorthAmericanFoodie #MustTryCeviche #TacoLover #PartyRestaurant #BirthdayDinnerRecommendation #VibeyRestaurant
