Bien Trucha

Over the Fox River and through the forest preserve to Geneva you must go...that is, if you want to score guacamole infused with watermelon. It may sound weird, but the sweetness of the melon cuts the richness of the avocado perfectly; the flair is indicative of the innovative touches that run through every dish in this small Mexican spot on the edge of town. Instead of tired queso fresco and bottled hot sauce, steak tacos here get a dose of creamy Manchego cheese and a zingy tomatillo-serrano salsa. Even your run-of-the-mill flan gets cut into a two-tiered flower shape and topped with micro-mint.
