Tzuco

Chicago, US

An iron-clad terrace framed by potted plants offers a hint of what lies beyond the doors of Tzuco, found a few blocks west of the banks of Lake Michigan. Within a rough-luxe, earthy dining room frames Mexican dishes that tell the history of terroir. Behind it is visionary chef Carlos Gaytán, who lives and breathes Mexico’s heritage flavours. Combined with his background in classic French technique and a roll call of heirloom recipes, you’ve got something very special. The menu traces his family heritage through an intricate knowledge of native ingredients – with the entire team spending time amid the markets, farms and kitchens of Gaytán’s home town before taking to the pass. Humble in origins, dishes like cochinita pibil with habanero salsa and tinga de pollo topped with stuffed tetela are elevated to their highest reaches.
