We stumbled across Jacaranda bar which we soon found out is a hidden gem. We were welcomed by dozens of fellow México fans who -- like us -- were dressed up in the tricolor. The energy was electric. Despite how busy they were, the staff went out of their way to offer us great seats at one of the tables with a perfect view of their televisions which were of course featuring the game. They even had free raffle giveaways as well as complementary fresh homemade ceviche for all of the guests. This truly was hospitality at its finest, and it was paired so nicely with the friendly and generous patrons of this establishment. We certainly intend to return as soon as possible to watch more fútbol and appreciate the fantastic la Villita community.

We got starry eyed at the Girl Dinner option which was $25 for shrimp cocktail, caesar salad, parmesan fries and a dirty martini.

We got an espresso martini, a side caesar salad, and a side of parmesan fries. We also got oysters since they were a happy hour special. We loved everything that came! One of our friends got the girl dinner and it was presented SO cute- we were a little jealous not going to lie!! Overall we were super happy with the Vig's new location.

I enjoyed the sports bar vibe with nicer food. My favorite dish was the Wagyu burger, but the wings were a close second. They were fried perfectly and the honey habanero was drizzled over them, creating a lovely depth of flavor - especially with their homemade ranch. The Caesar salad was good, but tasted a little like it had the cheap Parmesan on it from the can. The short ribs were also tasty, but a bit on the chewier side than I would have liked. They do have a few mocktail options for $8 each (very affordable). I really enjoyed my cucumber mocktail! Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Pilsen!

We saunter up to our chosen restaurant only to find a sign on the door that says, "closed for private event." Did I mention I was hangry? My husband suggests Jake Melnick's. It was within walking distance ... did I mention it was raining that night? And I was hangry? I was game for anything at that point. We arrived and waited probably four minutes for a table. A couple of the adults ordered a beer, the others ordered a Coke. We ordered a large pretzel and our mains. The pretzel was so good. All the meals were outstanding (a sliced brisket sandwich, some wings, chicken tenders, onion rings and a burger). Service was great. It was a little loud when we first arrived as there was an intense Illinois State basketball game on but as soon as the game ended, it was much quieter. We really enjoyed our meal at Jake's!

It's located inside of a brightly lit liquor store, and it's a completely different vibe as soon as you enter into Osito's Tap. At 8:30pm on a Saturday, we were seated right away at the bar. There was a live DJ, but the music wasn't too loud which I appreciated. Sometimes with live DJs the music gets way too loud, but it was just some nice background music. The service was great, and our bartender was really friendly. We tried the For Ari, Nube Punch, and Jardinera. All the cocktails were delicious and unique. I typically don't like savory cocktails and usually cocktails with malort are intimidating, but the jardinera cocktail surprised me and I actually liked it a lot. I think the tomato flavor just worked really well with the malort. I would come back just for that cocktail, but there were so many other cocktails I wanted to try and didn't get to this time, so we'll definitely be back.
