Altiro Latin Fusion

Altiro was a great dining experience in the age of pandemic take-home. Having travelled from Colorado and isolating since arriving in Illinois, we were looking for a unique culinary experience that was gluten free. While browsing for restaurants near where we're staying, we came across Altiro Latin Fusion. We were immediately intrigued by their creative menu that featured mainly gluten free options. We ultimately decided to have their Al Trio Guacamole, the Al Chilango tacos, and the Ala Paella. The All Trio Guacamole features three different accents: traditional goat cheese, pineapple, and grapes. All three were creamy with nice chunks of avocado. The accompanying house-made tortilla chips were very crisp and flavorful. The Al Chilango tacos features tender chunks of skirt steak topped with potato straws and a creamy cilantro dressing. They were incredible. The Ala Paella was the biggest hit of the meal. The eight large mussels were cooked to perfection and delicately tender, as were the shrimp. The chunks of grilled salmon, tuna, and tilapia were well cooked and tasty. All of the seafood was nestled on a bed of creamy, flavorful rice risotto. The dish was spectacular. The only disappointing but expected part of the meal was that because it was takeout and we were staying 15 minutes away, the food was not as hot as it would be in-house. I fully expect that for dine-in the meal would be perfection. I highly recommend Altiro Latin Fusion and sincerely hope that they're able to survive the pandemic so that we can visit them the next time we come to the Geneva area.

This was a lovely place. The staff is absolutely wonderful. The drinks, the Verde Margarita a must, made you feel a little healthy having your greens with your alcohol. The presentation spectacular, gorgeous. So you're wondering why 4 stars. Well, I love heat and the flavor of Mexican/ latin cooking. If you're weak for heat and flavor this place is perfect. Everything is very subtle. However, if you enjoy epazito, cilantro, serrano, you may be a little disappointed. Loved the papas(potatos), great combination with the egg. The eliote lacked epazito, and chipotle. It was good overall. Their drinks are extremely well done, not too sweet, and flavors were fantastic. Most of the menu is Gluten Free, well marked, and staff is extremely knowledgable.
