Meet us where a melting pot of flavors is served
Don’t call it Latin fusion, the unique menu at Amerikas is a new American cuisine that represents the melting pot of recipes and traditions that people from around the world have brought to the United States.
Chef Armando Gonzales roots his dishes in Latin flavors but uses recipes from across the United States to design a seasonal menu that represents the diversity of America.
For breakfast try the Huevos Rancheros with handmade tortillas, tomatillo salsa, black beans, queso fresco, and scrambled eggs. For lunch, we love the Surf and Turf Tacos with shrimp, Mexican chorizo, potatoes, and caramelized onions.
For dinner, the Carne Asada is hard to beat with Angus New York strip, tomatoes, chipotle, goat cheese, yuca frites, chimichurri, and cucumbers. Pair it with a Cucumber-Mint Margarita or the Amerikano Cocktail with mezcal, sweet white vermouth, triple sec, honey, and bitters.
Monday: 9am to 2:30pm
Tuesday through Thursday: 9am to 2:30pm and 4pm to 9:30pm
Friday and Saturday: 9am to 2:30pm and 4pm to 10pm
Sunday: 9am to 2:30pm and 4pm to 8pm
Happy hour is a great time to swing by Amerikas! That runs Tuesday through Sunday from 3pm to 5pm. And if you’re hungry for tamales, churros, and hot chocolate, pick up a to-go bag from 8am to 7pm Monday through Sunday.
Breakfast and lunch dishes range from $5 for a taco to $20 for a skirt steak served with eggs, roasted potatoes, and chimichurri sauce. Dinner dishes range from $5 for Surf and Turf Tacos to $37 for Carne Asada.
Cocktails are about $15.
Chef Armando Gonzales and his business partner Louis Castellano opened Amerikas in 2017, aiming to set the table with a melting pot of flavors.
Building on the success of his first restaurant, Libertad, in Skokie, Gonzales was thrilled to bring his one-of-a-kind combination of American and Latin flavors to Oak Park.
Conveniently located at 734 Lake Street, Amerikas is just a three-minute walk from the Oak Park Stop on the CTA Green Line.
