La Chimenea, Saukville

Punctuated by festive colors, a plentiful bar, and ample outdoor seating, La Chimenea puts diners in the mood to celebrate. Owner Hector Jimenez—offers dishes that run the gamut of Mexican staples. Menu items include homemade guacamole and sirloin-steak fajitas, along with more innovative creations, such as the specialty chilies en Nogada, which fills two poblano peppers with ground beef, peaches, apples, and nuts before slathering it all in a creamy cashew sauce. At the bar, a variety of tequilas anoint lime, strawberry, raspberry, mango, or other flavored margaritas, and patio seating keeps the seasons at bay with a fire pit during the winter months and a restaurant-sized snow globe over the summer.
