In The Spotlight

Takito Kitchen’s Latin-inspired spin-off flaunts a lengthy concrete bar and graffiti decor by local street artists. The house-made tortillas infused with Negro freaking Modelo are a must-try.

Bar Takito (201 N. Morgan St., West Loop) is not the most subtle of new spots. It’s bright, both in color (see: rainbow-colored mural behind the bar) and in actual lighting (thanks to massive lit-up marquee lettering spelling out the spot’s name on the ceiling).
