de cero offers fresh, authentic Mexican food in an upbeat atmosphere.
At de cero—which translates to "from scratch"—the focus is on Mexican recipes and their fresh flavors. The extensive menu centers around à la carte items like tacos and tamales. It’s not surprising that de cero’s taco platter won "Best New Dish" by Chicago magazine in 2005. The tortillas are housemade on a griddle and then filled with everything from freshly grilled ahi tuna with a habañero salsa to more succulent fillings like battered shrimp with creamy avocado crema. Take your pick from among 16 taco varieties, including the Tomatillo Pork with white onion, cilantro, and lime, or the amazing Battered Catfish Taco. If you prefer tamales, try the Tamale Trio, featuring fresh corn, pulled pork, and a black bean and goat cheese variety. Diners in search of a heartier meal can sample entrées like Grilled Chicken over sautéed greens with a rich and savory housemade mole sauce or Tequila-Brined Pork Chops. Complement your Mexican fare with Horchata (a sweet rice drink) or specialty cocktails like the signature house Guava Margarita. The hip, energetic atmosphere transports taqueria fare comfortably to the urban world.
