Geno’s Feast
Tepatulco (2558 N. Halsted St.; 773-472-7419), a regional Mexican restaurant with a menu by executive chef Geno Bahena, opens on January 5th in Lincoln Park. Anything that Bahena (Ixcapuzalco, Chilpancingo) does automatically goes on a lot of radars, and Tepatulco—named for his hometown in Guerrero—should be no exception. The entire space (which also still houses Las Fuentes) has been revamped, and the menu is full of sustainably raised ingredients, such as mixote de borrego, a parchment package of leg of lamb stew with spicy pasilla sauce, avocado leaves, and frijoles mancados ($16.50). “It’s going to be good,” says Bahena, who has always let his food do the talking.
