"Chef Jorgé Guzmán impressively managed to open Petite León a year into the pandemic. Not long after, the restaurant earned him a James Beard nomination for best chef Midwest. Guzmán draws on his Yucatán peninsula roots with this menu, like glazed pork belly with a creamy, feather-light masa panisse. The piquillo peppers, stuffed with tangy goat cheese, are a must. Bar lead Travis Serbus’s cocktail menu is notable as well: look for citrus-forward pours like the Moon Dog, made with mezcal, tamarind, and lime." - Eater Staff
