La Cecina Restaurant Familiar #1 is truly a gem in Chicago! 🌟 The ambiance is cozy and casual, perfect for any meal of the day. I indulged in the **la tampiqueña**, choosing steak, and it was phenomenal - tender and flavorful!
Their homemade tortillas deserve a special mention; they’re absolutely delicious! I also had the **agua de tamarindo** - refreshing and perfectly sweet! The friendly staff adds to the welcoming vibe, always ready with a smile. Just a heads up, if you spend too long in the restroom, the lights might turn off... 😅. Overall, I can't wait to return!
