Dish reported last week that Chilapan, the well-liked Logan Square Mexican-pan-Latin spot, is opening a second location in Ravenswood. Actually, our Chicago Neighborhoods Map indicates that it’s “Graceland West,” but since no realtor has ever used that term (“Want to buy a house in a neighborhood named for a cemetery?”), maybe the best way to put it is catercorner from popular Mexican spot Mixteco Grill at 1522 W. Montrose, which guarantees it a receptive audience. The second spot from owners Jorge Miranda and Olga Vega-Miranda, it will seat 65 inside, with a patio for another 30 in the warm months. The plan is to open on Monday, and they say the larger size will allow for “more playful specials.”
