The Lanzaga

Food Vision

In 2023 we found the perfect space, and in 2024 the three of us decided to open a restaurant in the Chicago Lakeview neighborhood. After spending a lot of time in the area, we had notice that our love of South American food was not only underrepresented but nearly nonexistent. There are some wonderful restaurants in the area, but none that offer authentic food from the southern continent. We made it our mission to create a menu that not only introduces this cuisine to the locals but give the South American population in the area a taste of home. We made sure to use authentic and fresh ingredients, sometimes with a little artistic license, and create dishes not from one country but many. We want to envoke memories of celebrations of past and create new memories for a lifetime.

Coffee Vision

We work tirelessly and are dedicated to pleasing our coffee loving cult. We strive to ensure that everyone’s palate is satisfied. Flavors, blends, single origin, cold brews, you name it, we have it.
From Indonesia, Africa, Costa Rica, Mexico, Sumatra, Columbia, Guatemala, and Brazil, we roast the best beans from all around the world for the best coffee to start your day.
