Fajitas at Zapatista, South Loop, Chicago
Friday night we went out for a very much belated Chicagoist holiday/thank-you-for-your-work-in-2007 dinner at Zapatista. This is the same place that we had our appreciation dinner at the end of 2006 and it was just as fun and delicious. I actually ordered the same thing I had previously, which was a great big 1,000-degree boiling cauldron of chicken fajitas. Seriously, I bent down at one point to get something and had a flash of nightmare in my brain thinking about the 3rd degree burn I’d get if my forehead accidentally touched the pig cauldron. I like Zapatista, though. The waitstaff is always nice and they’re always accomodating to our large group.. and after spending so much money there, they let us sit and linger until about 11:00 p.m. when the restaurant closed. Plus it was fun to see everyone again. We really need to get together more. There were a couple people on staff who came who I’d never even met before. Not cool!
