CHICAGO
A second location of
Moe's Cantina, which already has a Wrigleyville outpost, opened in River North earlier this month. In a former antique gallery, the 25,000-square-foot Mexican restaurant has retractable glass doors that overlook Kinzie Street, 30 chandeliers, and fixtures made of wrought iron and salvaged wood.
Available for buyout, the entire space can hold 900 for receptions or host seated dinners for 400. A mezzanine with a private dining room can seat 120 or hold 250 for receptions. Throughout the space, some 23 flat-screen TVs can display corporate logos, and restaurant staffers can help book a DJ for private events.
Focusing on Mexican food with Spanish and South American influences, the menu offers empanadas, mesquite-grilled skewers, and entrées such as chicken fajitas, halibut wrapped in banana leaf, and paella. Drinks include handcrafted tequila cocktails and sangria.
