While the roots of Mundial Cocina Mestiza are firmly planted in traditional Mexican cuisine, the diverse menu branches out into global flavors.
With the use of authentic Mexican ingredients, MCM offers ethnically diverse dishes blending various cooking styles that give rise to “macro-fusion." Tortelloni, tamales, sirloin, ceviche, and even huitlacoche are all featured, offering guests an international dining experience without leaving Chicago. For traditional indigenous spice, guests can order the Camarones Mayas, a brightly colored plate of achiote grilled shrimp served with a medley of fresh romeritos, shallots, asparagus, roasted red peppers, and bacon-Swiss-chard fried rice. For a more classical French flavor, guests can try the half chicken stuffed with black beans and corn served with parsnips, rutabaga, turnips, and celery root in an Oaxacan beurre blanc sauce. The dessert list is equally inspired, tempting diners with a layered trio of chocolate chipotle, avocado, and cinnamon gelato. While the menu might span the globe, the restaurant is a Colonial-style haven for romantic dining with dim lighting, dark wooden floors, and beige tablecloth tables. Sunburst-shaped mirrors adorn the walls and sea-blue accents add a splash of color—a perfect complement to the vibrant dishes.
