A perfect date night in Oak Park 😍❤️🔥 @hojasantabarycocina 📍722 Lake St, Oak Park, IL 60301 #oakparkil #mexicanfood #whitneylynn #chicagofoodblogger #chicagofoodie

I recently went to a curated dinner and wine pairing hosted by @hojasantabarycocina x @casamadero & it was the perfect night 🥰 From having all of my faves as the pairings, Rosè, Chardonnay, & Cab Sav 🍷 (they had me at that moment) to meeting the owner of Casa Madero, it was truly special. Now the food…..it was literally so good, I was very impressed in the flavor and detail oriented menu. I can’t wait to go back and try their actual food! It’s an upscale Mexican menu that is just *chefs kiss* 😚 Follow them & look out for more of their events, I hear it may get a bit spooky soon 🤭👻 #chicagofood #winedinner #wine #winenight #chicagofoodie #foodinchicago #thingstodochicago #chicagorestaurants #chicagotiktok #winelover #upscaledining #thingstodochicago #chicagofoodscene #chicagofoodanddrink #foodie #resturants #chicagorestaurants
