After a year at Soho House, the team behind Sueños — the mariscos concept from Executive Chef Stephen Sandoval — announces the launch of its newest concept, Diego. Located at 459 N Ogden Ave (the former G&O space), the upcoming restaurant and bar is named after Chef Sandoval's hometown of San Diego and will offer a nod to the bordering Tijuana, where his love for street food was born.
Having used their time at Soho House to test several menus, the food menu will include some of Chef Stephen's favorite street food dishes and regional specialties. The menu is separated by Mar (mariscos-inspired fare) and Calle (baja street food). Expect signature seafood items from Sueños x Soho, as well as other street options like tacos de canasta and a Tijuana-inspired burger. Highlight dishes include:
The beverage menu will feature a beer and cocktail program by Danielle Lewis, with tequila and mezcal cocktails, frozen drinks, and a variety of Mexican beers. While some of the option from Sueños at Soho House will make it onto Diego’s menu — like the Michelada and Oyster, Caliente en Los Tropicos, and Guera — Lewis has created a few new offerings in honor of the new concept, including:
MORADA FLOR: Hibiscus infused Mezcal, Chipotle Pilloncillo Syrup, Lime juice
UN PERRO: Strawberry infused vodka, miso simple syrup, lime juice, grapefruit juice
OSCAR’S PIÑA COLADA: Rum Blend (white/agricole/dark), Coconut cream, lime and pineapple juice
"We are thrilled to open the first of two brick and mortar concepts we have planned for this year," said Chef Sandoval. " We can't wait to embark on this new venture and share it with Chicago, permanently."
