Best Modern Latin American Restaurants in River North (Chicago)

AZUL is a gots-to-try restaurant. Very intimate and chilled. The staff was fun and inviting. This will be a nice spot to have a birthday party, baby shower, girls/boys night out, etc…. Drinks were good and the tacos were flavorful. Will be back.

Casa Chi gave us the perfect Valentine’s Day experience. The special couples Valentine’s Day menu was perfect and gave us a great selection of Peruvian cuisine. The guitar player was a nice touch for the evening as well. Another standout of the evening was the superb service, particularly from the bartender, Eric. From the beginning, Eric was attentive and genuinely friendly, making us feel like VIPs. His cocktail recommendations were spot-on, and the creativity in each drink was beautiful. The Valentine's special cocktail he created that caught on fire and revealed a rose was an absolute delight, and his enthusiasm and passion for mixology were evident in every sip. All of the managers that stopped by our table were attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. We can’t wait to return!

10/10 absolutely incredible experience all around. The staff was extremely nice and the food was next level. Highly recommend the branzino. And do not skip to coconut soft serve. It had us feeling like we were on a tropical vacation in the middle of winter.

Very good food and great service. Always good to find a great BYOB spot, and this place does not disappoint.

Food was really good. The drinks were spectacular, best amaretto I have ever had. The guacamole was very good, the cachapas were my favorite.
