Luke: Big wine and liquor selection with some unexpected surprises
estheribrown ✌🏻: The staff here are super friendly and helpful - they're happy to make recommendations and I've never had a miss w/one. Love the $12 and under table and the free wine tastings & classes. Great shop.
Scott Flaherty: I'm no connoisseur (tend to pick wine by the design on the label), but it seems like they keep the cheaper stuff on a table in the middle, and in general have a great selection.

Mexican Restaurant · Prospect Heights · 47 tips and reviews
Aleksey: One of the best Mexican restaurants ever! Their food is extremely good and creative, flavors are rich (although not as spicy as in Mexico), and their service is impeccable.
Allan Lopez: Strong margs, tacos and huevos rancheros are good. Don’t get the breakfast quesadilla, it’s extremely tiny.
Luana Pomponet: Lamb ribs and roasted mushrooms were to die for.
Gothamist: Aside from being one of the best date bars in town, Black Mountain Wine House kicks it in the cold season with a fireplace in the back. Grab a seat near the flames and warm up with a bottle of wine. Read more.
The New Yorker: This cabinlike saloon, complete with a clapboard façade and Adirondack chairs out front, was “designed with two places in mind: Stowe, Vermont, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.” Read more.
Gothamist: Ever-romantic Wine House is the fireplace bar to go to. The rustic, farmhouse-style wine bar lets you settle in with a glass ($6.50-$11) or bottle ($28-$45). So relax and enjoy the warmth. Read more.
