6 Chicks in the City is Chicago's newest source for information & advice on restaurants, hot spots, and nightlife around town. Consider us The View of Review.

We are 6 professional, yet wildly opinionated Chicks with attitude. Being a Chick automatically makes us skillful at criticizing, and when you combine that with our love of great food, spirits and good times, it's a winning combination for you, our guests. Our goal now is to share this passion with you and take you along on our unique journey. Maybe it will inspire you to participate in our adventures, or just delight in the excitement through the benefit of 6 pairs of eyes. Either way, enjoy the ride.

   
Mercadito
Mercadito

Voted recently as Chicago’s Hot Spot, we decided to try this hip, new Mexican Restaurant for ourselves. Mercadito is located in the heart of River North at 108 W. Kinzie, and is jam packed with energy. The menu is extensive and represents authentic & fresh Mexican cuisine with a twist. As a result, we tried just about everything on the menu and were not disappointed. Our highly recommended dishes include the assorted Ceviches, Pork Carnitas and Organic Skirt Steak Tacos. Unfortunately, they have some growing pains that need to be worked out – overwhelmed servers, forgotten orders, and noisy surroundings. But we left feeling pretty excited that we found another winner for our guests to try.

A big welcome to our December chicklet, Emily! Emily has lived in or around Chicago most of her life and it is here she honed her culinary tastes. Whether it be a burger in a dive bar or a 9 course tasting menu, Emily has always been willing to try new & exciting dishes. Some of her favorite Chicago locales include Schwa, Opera, LaScarola and Coast. Emily maintains a bucket list of restaurants she wants to try and is constantly adding new ones. She loves living in Chicago & can't wait to try the next restaurant on her list. ************* Do you have what it takes to be our next chicklet of the month?
