“Best New Dish of 2024: Barbarcoa Ossobuco at Vela”
December 11, 2024

“Chicagoans know tacos, and every new taco-touting concept must now live up to the outstanding version that Vela chef and Chicago native chef Jorge Angulo has created. Set in a space boasting striking and organic interior design inspired by Mexico City, Vela’s tender barbacoa ossobuco is a shining star among the newest dishes this year. Wrapped in housemade tortillas, the rich and savory short rib, sparked by pickled carrots, is a culinary experience on another level.”
