About the Experience
Join Chef Geno Bahena and the team at Manchamanteles for
Patio y Parrilla, a summer Sunday BBQ brunch series celebrating live-fire Mexican cooking and Chicago patio season.
During each brunch service, the Aztec grill moves outdoors as steaks, vegetables, and traditional Mexican specialties are prepared entirely over open flame. Handmade tortillas are pressed fresh throughout service, creating an elevated patio brunch experience centered around smoke, fire, and bold regional flavors.
