Mercadito: The Perfect Saturday Brunch

Brunch on Saturday proved to be the perfect flavors that reminded me that I don’t have to be in Mexico to get great Mexican food. A year later, this is still one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago.

 

Huevos Ahogados: poached eggs, crispy corn bread, chipotle-hollandaise sauce.

The best dessert I’ve had in a long time and my new challenge to create?

Torrejas de Bolillo. A creme anglaise soaked mexican bread,ice cream and a light covering of cajeta sauce.

At 108 W Kinzie, it’s the perfect spot to stop at after a morning of mega-shopping.

Bon Appetit!
