We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at 312 Chicago before a show at the Cadillac Theater. Food was exceptional, bartender fielded a creative holiday order, and server was excellent. Only negative was delayed service owing, as we understand it, to numerous employee no-shows in protest of a looming closure...very unfortunate as this is an outstanding loop fixture.

This is my new favorite restaurant in Chicago. And I’ve brought many non-vegan and non-vegetarians who love it as much as I do simply because the food tastes good! I usually start with bang bang broccoli and add several great rolls for the table. ⭐️✨

Don’t be surprised by the name change to Adelitas! The service, ambience, & food quality are superb. Be adventurous & sample their gourmet variety of tacos. I had the Al pastor & fried fish ones and they were excellent. I will be returning to experience the plethora of vegetarian menu options. This restaurant certainly is a gem in Bridgeport neighborhood. Next time I will go earlier and enjoy strolling through the neighborhood. Cheers.
