Old Pueblo Cantina
8.4
Old Pueblo Cantina is Ballyhoo Hospitality’s Sonoran-inspired spot where mesquite-grilled tacos, cheese crisps, and fruit-forward margaritas anchor a polished but relaxed room. It’s a Lincoln Park favorite for later-evening tacos and drinks when you want something more refined than a taqueria but still casual.

Sonoran Cheese Crisp, Mesquite-Grilled Carne Asada Tacos, Shrimp and Green Chile Cheese Crisp
