Local gems serving up all your favorites.
Get your Irish on in Brookfield with shepherd’s pie, corned beef and cabbage, and a bevy of beers at Irish Times Pub and Restaurant. Alejandra’s Mexican Cuisine and Cantina in Northlake is famous for its carne asada and fun, family atmosphere. A 40-year-plus fixture, Sawa’s Old Warsaw in Broadview is famous for its Polish-American smorgasbord—think potato pancakes, pierogi and blintzes. For Asian cuisine, try Moon Temple Chinese Restaurant in Berkeley or Chef Shangri-La in North Riverside, where diners enjoy Cantonese dishes in a festive Polynesian setting.
