Tour the Trends 2023

FE&S presents a curated in-person tour of restaurant trends.

Bodega Taqueria y Tequila

This Miami-based brand opened its first Chicago location in the West Loop this past Cinco de Mayo and will open a second in River North this fall. It blends the charm of a taco shack with the lively ambiance of a speakeasy-style lounge, renowned for keeping the party going late-night with generous pours of tequila. Each outpost of the concept features a salvaged Airstream trailer, weathered and industrial finishes, and a heavy-handed application of graffiti.
