Although we just recently opened our doors in February 2020, the vision for our restaurant started back in the 1980s with Chef Lou’s journey as the son of a restaurateur learning about day to day operations from his father and how to prepare delicious, authentic Mexican favorites from his mother. Now, as the proud owner of his own restaurant, Chef Lou has served in just about every role imaginable, and from those experiences he has learned what it takes to create an enjoyable dining experience. Together, we will do our best to consistently provide great food, delicious drinks, and courteous service with a smile anytime.

Chikatana is a playful cantina with menus that reflect both the vibrancy of Mexico's cuisine and the Midwestern seasonal harvest. We have sought to curate an atmosphere that acts as an extension of the guest's dining table at home and invites them to take a journey through Mexico—paying homage to culinary traditions of specific regions while providing a modern, Oaxacan-inspired perspective. The significance behind the concept's name comes from a flying ant, 'Chicatana,' that is native to Mexico.
