Xoco

We recently grabbed dinner at Xoco, one of Rick Bayless' restaurants at Clark and Illinois. The menu consists of Mexican street food. It's fast and casual, and the staff is very friendly. You order at the counter where there's also self-serve water and sparkling water. The seating consists of communal counters and a few tables.

We ordered Chips and Salsa, which includes tomatillo salsa, 3-chile salsa, and just-made chips.



I ordered the Choriqueso Torta, which is a homemade chorizo sausage, roasted poblanos, and artisan jack cheese sandwich, with tomatillo salsa on the side.



The food here is delicious and affordable, and the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. I think I've found one of my new favorite restaurants.
