Where To Go When You Don’t Want To Make A Big Deal About Your Birthday, But You Actually Kinda Do

"Complex salsas, handmade tortillas, and excellent palomas are just a few reasons why Con Todo will inspire you to abandon your annual true crime documentary/at-home pedicure birthday celebration. This casual Mexican restaurant in Logan Square is easy to walk in, but the large, bright, pastel-colored space is always busy enough to still feel fun. Con Todo has lots of tables good for small groups, a long cocktail list with great drinks under $12, and a menu of delicious small plates, tortas, tacos, and entrees like enchiladas or chile relleno. Plus, those murders will (probably) still be unsolved when you get home, so you’ll have time to crack the case." - adrian kane
