Nothing says summer like tacos and tequila. Chicago's newest sprawling Federales Tequila & Tacos restaurant and bar in the West Loop offers plenty of both.
“Federales is a great neighborhood bar with incredible food,” says Four Corners director Ryan Indovina. “Taking you to that place across the border with a cold drink in hand—that vacation place.”
It truly has a vacation atmosphere featuring a fully retractable roof and two Schweiss bifold liftstrap 14’ 3” x 14’ 8” designer doors that open to beer garden.
“The reception has been tremendous. The neighborhood loves the indoor/outdoor feel, as well as throwing the ice shot glasses at our bell,” noted Indovina.
Indovina said they located Schweiss Doors through an Internet search looking for hangar doors.
“We like the look and feel of the doors, as well as how open the space feels when they are in use,” said Indovina. “We open them when it's warm enough to have outdoor dining and drinking; the doors are great.”
Inspired by Mexico's roadside taco joints, Federales specializes in barbacoa-style tacos, starring such slow-cooked meats as pork belly al pastor and shredded beef brisket, served with warm corn or flour tortillas and taco trimmings. Rounding out the menu will be daily ceviches, plus playful shareables from giant loaded nachos to house-made guacamole-best washed down with a few cold ones.
