I can't believe I almost forgot to review Xoco. Xoco is Rick Bayless's newest restaurant and is a casual sandwich/torta shop.
The downside is they don't take reservations. I met a friend there at 1:30 in the afternoon and we waited nearly 40 minutes just to order our food.
Not many places are worth the wait but this one was. I had the Jamon torta with La Quercia Prosciutto Picante, Otter Creek Organic cheddar, black beans, avocado, chipotle mustard, and a fried egg for $12.50. It was heaven. And big enough that I got 2 meals out of it. I had an aqua fresca that was to die for. I believe it was hibiscus flavored.
They also serve caldos (soups), bean-to-cup hot chocolate, churros, and breakfast as well.
This place isn't too far from my office. I'd be back once a week if the line wasn't so long. Highly recommend if you get hungry during off meal times though.
