La Ciudad Reviewed In RedEye

RedEye's "Dining" section went to eat at UU's new favorite Mexican restaurant and gave it a rave:  "Don’t go looking for kitschy sombreros, lacquered maracas or any other prescribed trappings of a casual Mexican restaurant at sleek new Uptown BYOB La Ciudad.  Partners and brothers Armando and Hugo De La Rosa wanted to create a more modern vibe in their contemporary 40-seat eatery, and the result is an unexpectedly stylish spot in an otherwise unremarkable strip mall."  Read the whole review here, or get over to La Ciudad (4515 N Sheridan) and check it out for yourself.

  2. I was there in December. Thought it was great. The people working there couldn't have been nicer and the food was great. And of course, who doesn't like byob?

    Need I say more?

    No; but, I'll add that this place is clean and well decorated. The food is awesome and the service is simply out of this world.

    If you haven't yet been, you are really missing something special.

  6. I had a great time at this place tonight with good service and good food. I am glad to see these types of places in Uptown. I would recommend the taco dinner and ceviche.
