Tzuco's Día de Los Muertos Celebration

  • Tzuco 720 North State Street Chicago, IL, 60654 United States (map)

Día de Los Muertos, the Mexican holiday celebrating and honoring the memory of departed loved ones, is fast approaching, and we are hosting a special dining event at Tzuco to mark the occasion. On Wednesday, November 2, Chef/Partner Carlos Gaytán is pleased to welcome his dear friend and colleague, Chef Orlando Trejos — Executive Chef, HA’, Riviera Maya — to the Tzuco kitchen. Together, the duo will create a memorable menu commemorating the cultural significance of the holiday. Reservations for this collaboration dinner are available now via Resy, with availability starting at 4 p.m. Guests will enjoy an artful, 4-course meal for $95 per person (includes a welcome cocktail, excludes tax and gratuity). Wine pairings are also available at an additional cost. The menu includes:

* “Tetela" - Heirloom tomato stuffed with macadamia requesón, blanched Hoja Santa and eggplant purée, accompanied by a black brioche

* Pipián-Curry Lobster - Butternut squash, red curry, zucchini flower and mantou bun

* Pork Belly - Pork belly, mole negro, sweet potato purée, pickled red onion and Brussels sprouts

* Pumpkin - An annual favorite, Tzuco's special Pumpkin dessert (spiced sponge cake, roasted pumpkin mousse, orange puree, chocolate sprigs, coffee) will complete the menu. This item is available on the Tzuco menu for the season.

The already vibrant Tzuco will also be transformed for the holiday with traditional Día de Los Muertos décor — including marigold florals, candles, Catrinas (skulls) and more.
