Anybody visit some good restaurants this weekend? I was able to check off a few restaurants I have been wanting to visit for a while now:

1. Au Cheval - went to Small Cheval before but finally caved and waited for their burger. Honestly not the biggest burger fan but this was overall a really nice burger. The bacon was amazing. Don’t know that I’d go out of my way to grab it again though. Likely I’d go to small cheval if I am really craving a good burger but if you’re already in west loop and going to grab drinks before dinner definitely worth putting your name down.

2. Rubi’s on 18th - was in the area and decided on tacos, had a Carne Asada taco and an Al Pastor both with blue corn tortillas. Their tortillas are made to order and delicious! The salsas were phenomenal as well especially the salsa verde. I preferred the Asada while my GF preferred the Al Pastor. Both were really good though.

3. Monster Ramen - had their summer special a spicy shio ramen and it killed. One of the best bowls in the city no doubt. Made with limes and sesame and was the perfect amount. Noodles were awesome as well. High five ramen holds a special place in my heart though but its pretty close. Different types of ramen so no tonkotsu there but their shio was definitely the best shio I have had.

How about you? Any good meals this weekend?
