Forastero offered a delightful fusion dining experience, making it an excellent choice for a Friday during Lent with its wide selection of vegan and vegetarian options. I appreciated the relaxed ambiance, and the staff were extremely friendly.

The restaurant was a bit more basic than what the Yelp ads or photos reflected. However, the staff were very attentive and accommodating. The bibimbap was just okay.

Awesome tacos and bibimbop for a fraction of the price you’d find in other parts of Chicago! So good!

I highly recommend this restaurant! Overall, my experience was fantastic. I tried several different tacos and the kimchi fries, and everything was delicious. I definitely plan to return and wish I had discovered this place sooner. The menu and flavors are surprisingly similar—if not nearly identical—to Del Seoul on N. Clark, although the portion sizes seem to vary. If you enjoy Del Seoul, chances are you'll love this place too!
