Those efforts began when a design team joined chef Carlos Gaytán in his Mexican hometown for a week to explore its markets, landscapes, and flavors before getting to work on the River North location, a space they outfitted with earth tones, handmade wooden tables and chairs, and floor-to-ceiling displays of regional finds (e.g. corn silks, thorn bushes, and abundant terra cotta). The best part? Every table has a view of the action here, a centrally built open kitchen where Gaytán and his team work around the clock."EATER: "Paying homage to Chef Carlos Gaytán’s hometown of Huitzuco, Guerrero, Tzuco quickly positioned itself as a foodie destination for locals and tourists. The first Mexican chef with a Michelin-starred restaurant (Mexique), Gaytán’s story and gravitas in Chicago and beyond added to the buzz around his noteworthy comeback. His River North restaurant transports you to the environment of an upscale restaurant in Mexico. Guests rave about the nostalgic Mexican dishes brought to life with family recipes, food memories, and inspiration drawn from French cuisine and its techniques. The menu (perhaps due to the chef’s stint in Playa del Carmen) features several dishes inspired in southeastern Mexico. Fan favorites include the aguachile and the Guerrero-style cochinita pibil. Save room for dessert."

Huitzuco, Mexico, meet Chicago. The cuisine at Tzuco is inspired by the small Mexican town where the Michelin-starred chef grew up and it’s also influenced by family recipes from his grandmother. The space is meant to be poetic and if you pay close enough attention, the food is meant to tell a story, too.
