Patria Cocina

The first thing that will catch your eye is the shelves stacked with agave spirits, many of them small family-owned brands. But there's a trio of colorful agua frescas that will invite you to put those tequilas to the test. And while we could play all day in choices from their extensive drink menu, we really enjoy the food here, too. Their menu of Mexican classics like sopes and carne asada are some of the tastiest in the city and come well dressed with bright sauces and vegetable garnishes. The Grant Park hub always packs a full house with families and casual friends meetups.
