10:15 am - 1:30 pm
Guacamole-making Lunch at Mercadito
Fee: $110

Mercadito is Chicago's go-to destination for authentic Mexican cuisine.  Here, world-renowned Chef Patricio Sandoval uses the freshest ingredients to craft tasty specialties such as Camaron tacos and Carnitas de Puerco.  Guests will be impressed with a guacamole-making experience in the luxe lounge surroundings of La Mez, Mercadito's private lounge.  The centerpiece of the lounge is a dramatic "inside-out bar."  As guests arrive at Mercadito, your host will escort you down the stairs to the lounge.  There, guests will find a "build-your-own guacamole" station, where you can choose from a range of ingredients such as peppers, fruits, spices and sauces to create your own unique guacamole.  A Mercadito staff member will be on hand to mix all of the selected ingredients together for guests to devour.  Guests will enjoy a premium open bar and delicious bites such as tacos and botanos throughout the event.
