Mercadito brunch starts Sunday

If you're holding your breath for our review of Mercadito, the month-old River North taco-and-tequila import, you have one of two options. Wait until Wednesday, when David Tamarkin's review comes out, or go this weekend and make the decision for yourself. The way this brunch, which launches Sunday, is looking, I'm honestly thinking about the latter option.

The main feature is something called the Perfect Hangover Cure: You choose one entree (chilaquiles in tomatillo sauce, poached eggs in chipotle-hollandaise sauce, "Mexican French toast," pancakes topped with Manchego cheese, etc.), add a cocktail (the cava-mango-green chile Mango Mimosita, the green-tea-infused-vodka Auntie Ox), throw down a $20 and...well, presumably, you're cured.

The rest of the menu pulls from the lunch and dinner eats, featuring guacamoles (traditional, mango and "granada"), ceviches (bay scallop, shrimp or mahi mahi), and, of course, tacos (chile-ancho rubbed pork, rosemary-marinated skirt steak, beer-battered mahi mahi, tilpaia, herb-marinated chicken, huitlacoche).

Mercadito, 108 W Kinzie St (312-329-9555). Brunch served 11:30am–4pm. (My kind of brunch hours!)
