    Please note the new time - 11:30am

    I'm back in my groove of posting the next lunch within a reasonable time frame of the last lunch.

    Continuing in the tradition of hitting places that I've never been to - the October meeting of the LTH North Lunch Group shall convene at:

    Monica's Mexican Restaurant
    636 N Milwaukee Ave - in the plaza behind what used to be a Denny's
    Prospect Heights, IL 60070
    (847) 520-1070

    This spot was recommended by JoelF at last week's LTH North meeting. It gets a bit of a LTH mention (coincidentally by JoelF) here - viewtopic.php?f=14&t=8427&hilit=monica%27s

    Come join is for some carne asada, al pastor and other Mexican goodies. As always, bring a friend.

    It was my suggestion, I'm in.
    Good things include sopes, ceviche tostadas, tacos de cecina.

    And let me add that the Denny's isn't there anymore. It still looks like one, but there is no signage.

    A nice intimate lunch today in Prospect Hts. Nice to meet SueF.

    The taco assortment hit the spot. Hopefully, my client didn't notice the taco juice that I dripped on my pants. 8)

    Good food and company - The LTH North motto. Thanks again to JoelF for picking out this month's spot.

    Monica's is my neighborhood taco joint, and didn't miss when my LTH friends showed up. Complimentary tomato-rich tortilla soup, and some very tasty tacos.

    One of these days I'll be there on the weekend and grab their posole or the rarer birria.

    Hi,

    I have more than a passing thought about returning sometime. It was as good as you described.

    Thanks for suggesting your neighborhood go-to place.

    Of course, thanks Dave for keeping the LTH North flame glowing!

    Regards,
    Cathy2
