Kite String Cantina

Kite String Cantina is one of the best restaurants for delivery and takeout in Chicago. Getting to sip top tipples doesn’t preclude having a gastronomic experience — at least not at the country’s top 40 bars for food lovers. These bars, pubs, lounges, and speakeasies could have phoned it in when it came to the food menu, but instead, they sought top talents to produce dishes that go far beyond cheese and charcuterie or a gourmet burger. Think sardines a la plancha, eye-catching okonomiyaki, and seafood towers overflowing with the ocean’s bounty. These watering holes are known first and foremost for their drinks, but maybe they shouldn’t be. Leave those basic burgers and no-frills fries behind at these watering holes where you can slake your thirst without sacrificing your appetite.

This spot on a quiet block in Kite String Cantina is exactly where you want to unwind after work. There are weekday Happy Hour specials on their cocktails from 3-6 pm (served out of cafeteria-style bubblers), and for $20 you can get everything on their limited menu: chips with three types of dip and a basket of four taquitos in various (and tasty) flavors. Sit inside or outside, play a game of Ms. Pac-Man, and watch reruns of old game shows above the bar. It’s like kicking back at home, except you get to say that you actually went out.
