Best Dinner Places to Eat in Alsip

"West LoopThis long-revered Mediterranean-influenced fixture from One Off Hospitality has held it down as one of the area’s go-to date night spots since opening its minimalist doors back in 2003, well before many of us could even define romance. And not much has changed -- the wine list is still spectacular, the chorizo-stuffed medjool dates are still iconic, and a reservation for the intimate front patio is still highly coveted."

"There are now two Avecs - the original in the West Loop, and a newer (much larger) River North location. They have almost identical menus, but the classic Avec is our favorite, mainly because we’ve had so many incredible meals there. The Mediterranean small plates here are consistently delicious, so order whatever sounds good to you."

"This highly-awarded creation from Rick Bayless presents its offerings in an artful menu separated into headings such as Vibrant, Soulful, Enchanting and Luxurious. Read the dish descriptions and you’ll understand why; each selection is a poetic combination of traditional Mexican recipes, modern technique and elevated presentation. Not surprising that it’s one of the best restaurants in Chicago."

"Whether you go to his high-end haunt or one of the more approachable lunch options (Tortas Frontera, Xoco, or Frontera Grill), the cuisine is modern, seasonal, and elevated. Also Try: Mercadito, Takito Kitchen, Big Star"

"The fried food aficionado's new location resides in the former home of The Rookery and Old Oak Tap. Anyone familiar with the space will recognize that it's perfect for Parson's signature patio vibes. The building has also been converted to boast the restaurant's classic white and red color scheme."

"Find your spot at one of the picnic tables, order a boozy slushie and settle into one of the city's most popular warm-weather spots."

"Residents that are looking to find the best brunch buffet in Chicago cannot overlook Nellie’s, a Peurto Rican gem on the edge of Humboldt Park. A brunch buffet is available that beats out your typical trip to Old Country. Nellie’s is the place to be this weekend, 9 am – 3 pm on Saturdays and Sundays."

"Nellie's is a fan favorite for Puerto Rican food in the heart of Humboldt Park!. This family-owned restaurant is best known for its brunches. Order the avena de coco (coconut oatmeal) and thank us later."

"Then, head over to the Mexican Art Museum. This is the largest collection of Latino artwork in the United States. If you’re at all interested in the fascinating, diverse world of Mexican art, it’s worth spending at least two hours here. It even has free admission."

"Head to the National Museum of Mexican Art for one of the best collections of Latin works in the country. Mexican culture is celebrated with art spanning over 3,000 years and a whopping 10,000 piece permanent collection."
