Super GemUptown · Contemporary Mexican Community-sourced, unverified
📍 4662 N Broadway, Chicago, IL 60640

Chef Norman Fenton and partner Karen Young run Cariño from an intimate Uptown space built around a seven-seat chef's counter -- the Michelin Guide specifically praised the "boldness and creativity" of the tasting menu, and CBS Chicago covered the restaurant's Michelin star directly.

Voted the best overall dish across every Michelin restaurant in the city by one exhaustive review — the huitlacoche ravioli is the reason Cariño tops nearly every list that takes the comparison seriously.
