Boasting a lively, charming ambience; friendly, knowledgeable service; and a delicious menu courtesy of Chef/owner Diana Dávila, Mi Tocaya is a welcome addition to the burgeoning Logan Square food scene. Bring friends, order a clever seasonal cocktail, try something from the menu and you’ll no doubt leave with a renewed love for Mexican cuisine.

The short but intriguing listing of “small cravings” (antojitos) is influenced by the less-explored Aztec cuisine. Sample dishes like guisado de nopalitos, a fragrant, earthy stew with cactus, zucchini and charred chilies, served with delicious knobs of salt-dusted fried cheese curds and warm corn tortillas. But don’t overlook the warm tacos, sure to transport you to the streets of Mexico City.
