Tasty restaurant in Bucktown

We recently shared the stage at Cobra Lounge with the band Estrella Negra.  It just so happens that the singer of the band, Otoniel, is also the owner of the very popular restaurant in Bucktown by the same name.  We checked it out last night, and it was pretty dang good!  The decor was super cool and we were actually pretty surprised by the healthy choices on the menu.  The Mexican restaurant uses whole wheat spinach tortillas for several of its meals.  Paul tried 'La Luna Chicken Goat Cheese Quesadilla' which was devoured in its entirety.  Ivan couldn't stop raving about the restaurant's amazing Pozole, which is a spicy homemade chicken soup.  So, check it out if you haven't.  Don't take our word for it though.  We weren't so inclined to check it out until seeing the several 4 star reviews on Yelp.  Plus it's right next door to one of our favorite bars/music venues, Quenchers.  Look for this image on the marquee.

In music news, our next show is at Weeds Tavern (1555 N. Dayton St, Chicago, IL) on Thursday May 26th, with our good friends Bad Bad Meow.  Also performing is the very talented Natalie Grace Alford.  Hope to see you out and talk to you soon!
