Altiro Latin Fusion, Chicago

The grills are fired up bright and early at Altiro Latin Fusion, where the menu includes different daily specials and happy hours. But later in the day, it's all about tacos and tapas. The former are stuffed with quality fillings ranging from grilled king salmon to slow-roasted pork belly to locally raised skirt steak. The menu of tapas includes roasted portobellos in chipotle reduction, shredded lamb slow-roasted in cactus leaves, and jumbo shrimp with serrano pesto. Whatever dishes you choose to share, pair them with margaritas muddled with unexpected ingredients, such as celery, cucumber, and grapefruit.
