RESTAURANT WEEK (January 26-February 8, 2018) allows local and
visiting foodies a chance to discover some of the best eats—and
great deals—in the city deemed the best RESTAURANT CITY IN AMERICA
BY CONDE NAST TRAVELER.Ixcateco Grill (3402 W. Montrose, Chicago;
773-539-5887) is one of these excellent restaurants, offering
authentic Mexican cuisine from the central and southwestern regions,
served in a casual BYOB neighborhood setting. This restaurant is owned
by talented chef Anselmo Ramirez who earned his culinary stripes at
Rick Bayless’ Frontera Grill and Topolobampo for thirteen years
before opening his own restaurant.
Ixcateco Grill is considered one of Chicago’s “must-visit Mexican
restaurants.” Lovers of mole and other extraordinary Mexican
specialties will adore this restaurant—Ramirez has been called the
“Rembrandt of Mole” by Eater.com and it’s a well-deserved
nickname. He has created a special menu just for this culinary
celebration. Vegetarian and vegan options will be available upon
request.
Start off with one of the two appetizer choices. Warm up with the
PICADITAS DE BARBACOA. Lamb is steam cooked in a dry pepper sauce
until tender and succulent, and served with pickled cactus and quest
ranchero. For a lighter but equally satisfying starter, the
ENSALADA—mixed greens, raisins, pinzanes, cherry tomatoes and goat
cheese tossed in citrus dressing —delivers flavor but leaves room
for the next two courses.
For entrees choose between the CAMARONES A LA CREMA, shrimp in a
three-pepper cream sauce served with white rice and sautéed
vegetables, and the COSTILLA EN MOLE VERDE, short rib in a green mole
sauce served with mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables.
End the special meal on a sweet note with IXCATECO’s succulent TRES
LECHES CAKE.
The three-course Prix Fix dinner menu is $33 per person. View the menu
