History

Established in 2014.

In 2012, we began a dream to bring true, authentic, and traditional flavors of Mexican cuisine to the western suburbs of Chicago. That dream came to reality with our first restaurant, Aguamiel, in downtown Clarendon Hills. Continuing to dream, we have brought our passion here to Forest Park. Here you will find the same flavors, taste, aromas, and love for the art of cooking that we remember fondly coming from our grandmother’s kitchen; passed down from generation to generation. Now we would love to share them with all of you.
