This neighborhood-y Logan Square BYOB Mexican serves a mean achiote and orange-infused poc chuck, silky flan and complex, mole-soused enchiladas that --- with good reason --- hold the attention of food-loving folks. Even the zippy, guajillo-sherry-dressed chayote and tomato salad is enough to garner buzz. The chill setting, no-fuss patio seating and friendly service --- not to mention no corkage fee policy --- are enough to draw curious diners; seared camarones on a bed of roasted tomato cream, grilled chicken served in a molcajete with arbol-tomatillo salsa and spinach-stuffed skirt steak give us reason to return (again and again). Bring your favorite bottle --- margarita and sangria mixers are on hand.
