A vibrant oasis for Mexican small plates, Mi Tocaya serves up inventive dishes and stellar cocktails that make it a must-visit spot for food lovers.
"Food fanatics have been racing to this popular spot, where chef and owner Diana Dávila has gained quick fandom for her clever riffs on antojos — traditional Mexican-style small plates (think tacos filled with beer can chicken or fried chicken and churros). For on point pairings, opt for any of the venue’s draft cocktails, including the Chicana with hibiscus, mezcal, gin, citrus chartreuse and maraschino." - Ashok Selvam, Eater Staff

"Few chefs share the talent and drive that Diana Dávila exhibits while showcasing a dazzling display of small Mexican dishes in Logan Square. Dávila isn’t shy about taking risks or pandering to the typical American diner. This isn’t a place to fill up on chips and salsa with a pitcher of margaritas; Dávila left her previous job after owners tried to force those expectations on her. That’s not to say the guacamole, steak burrito, and fried oyster tacos aren’t stellar. But customers should dive into unique items like peanut butter lengua and tlacoyo de nopalitos, the latter of which represents Dávila’s passion for pre-Hispanic Mexico." - Ashok Selvam
"Chef Diana Dávila's Mexican hotspot in Logan Square quickly snagged a spot on Eater Chicago's 38, Eater's Midwest 38, and the Michelin Guide. Dávila tells a story with each dish. Standouts include peanut butter lengua and queso fundido con birria, but don’t be shy: order the burrito. It’s great." - Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam
