Last Asada Sunday This Week: September 13th: 4PM
Mexican Independence Asada Chef Collab | Diego x Italian Village x Sotto
Chicago was built by people who came here from somewhere else and started cooking. On September 13 we're putting that on one grill. Chef David Rodriguez of Italian Village and Sotto joins us at Diego for Asada Sunday — two immigrant-owned kitchens celebrating Mexico together, on the weekend Mexico celebrates its independence.
4PM | The Grill is open
4PM-7PM | Family Fun — cotton candy and snow cones, and kids get in free all day, no ticket needed. (Get there early if you need a big table!)
5PM-8PM | René Ávila's Cuban Jazz Band plays from five to eight.
5PM-7PM | 1800 Tequila and Ilegal Mezcal will be pouring at tasting tables for you to enjoy!
Admission is $25 and includes:
- A $20 Grill Credit, redeemable toward any food purchased the day of the event
- One welcome cocktail ( Choice of Tequila based Cantarito, or Spirit Free Piña Colada)
- Access to the tequila and mezcal tasting tables (N/A cocktails available for Spirit Free drinkers)
Most of the ticket price comes back to you as food. The cocktail, snow cones, cotton candy, the tastings, and the Cuban Jazz Band, and a general good vibes are what you get on top.
Full Diego Menu also available all day.
Patio Seating is first come first served!
