A representative of Altiro Latin Fusion was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Chicago’s request.
According to the article, the new location was formerly home to Glory Days Bar and Grill and is slated to open sometime in February.
Altiro Latin Fusion’s website describes itself as, “A family-owned restaurant with locations throughout Northern Illinois, offering a tapas-style inspired Latin fusion cuisine of classic dishes with infused new flavors from Spain, Mexico, and South America.”
“The menu is designed to share, our dishes are tapa-style. Pair your meal with our house sangria, craft cocktails, or our local beers. All of our ingredients are bought locally. All meat is hormone-free, and all poultry comes from grass-fed animals. All of our sweeteners are agave-based nectars, while all vegetables and fruits arrive fresh daily.”
“Former professional soccer player of Mexican teams, Executive Chef Roberto Avila went from real estate guru in Mexico to restauranteur in Illinois with his wife, Erika Villanueva who is the interior designer and special events coordinator of Altiro’s restaurants.”
“Roberto has been successful in every journey that he has embarked on. What is the key to his success? It is simple. Erika says, “The motto my husband lives by is Love and Passion.” This motto is reflected in the culture at Altiro’s restaurants, from their interior decor, dish presentations, and menu development to the source of their ingredients and warm customer service.”
