Colombian steakhouses in Chicago are a dime a dozen. Though many brag about offering a taste of home, few deliver as well as Las Tablas, a Colombian steakhouse nestled on the corner of Irving Park Road and Laporte Avenue in the city’s Portage Park neighborhood.

This Lincoln Park churrascaria offers meat-eaters a comfortable haven in which to delve into heaping portions of grilled beef, pork, and chicken. The signature item is the juicy, char-grilled NY strip steak served with vegetables, a baked potato, and chimichurri sauce.
