Suggestions for Latin American Restaurant near River North, Chicago

Justin K. • August 12, 2019Great vibe. The five of us shared: yams, cauliflower, seafood fritters, pork shank fried rice, the "sea" hot pot, and the banana split that everyone talks about it. Food & service were spectacular!

Melissa A. • January 8, 2015Carnivale has delicious food and a great ambiance. I recommend the ropa vieja or empanadas for apps, New York strip steak for the entrée, and banana cream pie for dessert.
