Carnivale - Chicago


Latin Vibe, fun and fab food what more could you ask for for a party?

It isn't often in a city like Chicago that we will return to a restaurant more than once with so many great places to eat but Carnivale is one we have been to several times. It never disappoints both for food and fun. You can't help but be in a party mood here, the bright colors, latin theme and carnivale atmosphere make you want to party.





Our food was outstanding as always and this time we discovered a new drink that I want to learn how to make here at home. It was called a Caipirinha a smooth mixture of Ypioca cachaca, limes and simple syrup that was so yummy and went down way to easy!

The Ropa Vieja a combo of sweet plantains, braised beef, spicy mayo and queso fresco and the Camarones al Ajillo, shrimp in a roasted garlic sauce were the perfect start.
Once again our table sampled several dishes from the extensive menu and none of them disappointed. The Pernil, a rum glazed pork shoulder was the perfect blend of savory and sweet served on a bed of Puerto Rican rice and beans. The Arrachera, a grilled skirt steak with a chimichurri sauce was knock your socks off flavor and a portion large enough for two to share.
