Manchamanteles

Super GemBucktown · Mexican Community-sourced, unverified
📍 2009 N Western Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Manchamanteles is chef Geno Bahena's second Chicago restaurant alongside Mis Moles, built entirely around his 7 Moles del Universo tasting menu — seven courses spanning Mexico's mole traditions from a chef with 30 years and a reputation as the city's "Mole King." The name itself, meaning "tablecloth stainer," nods to the rich, sauce-heavy dishes that are the whole point.

★★★★★ 4.6 (574 reviews) via Google
Super GemChicago Exclusive Gem$$
The mole negro is the dish people specifically bring visitors here for, and the steak tacos are what convince them to stay for a second round.
