December at Cariño brings us into one of our favorite times of year, when Chicago settles into winter, celebrations fill the calendar, and evenings around the counter feel just a little more special.

General Manager Camille has released the December reservations, which are now available on OpenTable and on our website. For those hoping to join us sooner, a small handful of November reservations remain.

We look forward to welcoming you to Cariño this holiday season.

𝗧𝗔𝗖𝗢𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗙𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗦 returns with our next friend at the table.

On September 17, Cariño welcomes Chef Sieger Bayer of bar Berria for a one-night collaboration with Chef Norman. Known for the intimate underground dinners that have shaped barBerria, and most recently seen by audiences across the country on Bravo Top Chef, Sieger brings a style of cooking that is thoughtful, ambitious, and deeply personal.

For 𝘛𝘢𝘤𝘰𝘴 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴, that creativity will extend beyond the menu. Sieger has been working with local glass and ceramic artists to create one-of-a-kind serving vessels specifically for the evening, adding another layer of artistry to a menu that brings his perspective together with Chef Norman’s through the lens of Cariño’s late-night taco omakase.

As always, 𝘛𝘢𝘤𝘰𝘴 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴 supports Latinos Progresando, a Chicago nonprofit providing immigration legal services and programs that support immigrant communities — Latinos Progresando.

Some cocktails are built around familiar flavors, a classic recipe structure. Others begin with tradition.

Ray’s newest creation draws inspiration from 𝘵𝘦𝘫𝘶𝘪𝘯𝘰, the fermented masa beverage enjoyed throughout western Mexico for generations. House-made yellow masa, tepache liqueur, pineapple, orgeat, and Charanda Agricole Rum come together in a cocktail that is at once bright, savory, and deeply layered, finished with a tortilla chip crumble that brings it all full circle.

Now poured at Cariño. Link in bio to reserve Oct+Nov.

Service at Cariño isn't about chasing perfection. It's about never settling.

Every night is another opportunity to refine a technique, question a detail, and find a better way to honor the ingredients, the traditions, and the guests who place their trust in us.

Chef Norman's standards are high because he believes every member of the team is capable of reaching them. That pursuit of excellence is shared by every cook standing behind the counter.

It's demanding.

It's intentional.

It's Cariño.

The next chapter of Tacos With Friends is here.

On Sunday, July 26, Chef Norman welcomes Chef Mari Katsumura and Adam Sindler of SHŌ for an evening celebrating friendship, collaboration, and the remarkable talent shaping Chicago's dining scene.

Raised above her family's beloved Yoshi's Café before refining her craft at Grace, Blackbird, and Michelin-starred Yūgen, Chef Mari has become one of Chicago's most respected culinary voices. Today, alongside fourth-generation restaurateur Adam Sindler, she leads SHŌ, an intimate omakase experience where Japanese tradition meets modern creativity in a deeply personal way.

Together, they'll join Chef Norman for a one-night-only menu created exclusively for Tacos With Friends, with proceeds benefiting Latinos Progresando, a Chicago nonprofit that provides immigration legal services and programs supporting immigrant communities.
