VINO LOCO – Spanish
On Dearborn Street with the doors open to downtown Englewood, Vino Loco pairs first and plates second - and both hold up. The tapas run to escargot in garlic butter, warm double-cream brie, smoked salmon bruschetta, shrimp Chueca, Morocco chicken and charcuterie boards that keep getting rebuilt; the gazpacho and crab cakes get singled out, and the gluten-free carrot cake is not an afterthought. Staff will walk you through a pairing without condescension, and the tasting nights fill. Dietary restrictions are handled, not tolerated. A small-town wine bar with a long reach.
