Chef Alfonso Sotelo's menu doesn't stay in one lane: it moves region by region through Mexico, pulling in Mexico City street food, Yucatan Peninsula flavors, and Oaxacan traditions rather than defaulting to a generic "Mexican" menu. The Pilsen flagship sits a block from the National Museum of Mexican Art, right off the 18th Street Pink Line stop; this one anchors at 53rd and Kimbark instead.
The name story stays the same wherever the restaurant goes -- owner Alfonso Sotelo grew up selling radishes with his four brothers in Guerrero, Mexico, and named the business after that.
