A River North staple for Tex-Mex, Su Casa (housed in a yellow brick building) has been dishing its brand of south-of-the-border hospitality since 1963. Founded by the same golden-touch restaurateur who established Pizzeria Uno, Su Casa sticks to crowd-pleasing favorites like fajitas, chimichangas, and burritos. Colorful Mexican piņatas and murals along with brick floors and stained glass help generate a fiesta feel.
