Historia
Welcome to Libertad:
Your Local Home for Latin American Cuisine in Skokie
At Libertad, we believe dining should be an accessible, fun, and memorable experience. We are a small, fun restaurant with an open kitchen and a casual, inviting setting located right here in downtown Skokie.
Our menu is driven by passion. Executive Chef Mark Mendez draws inspiration from traditional ingredients, family influences, and global travels to create a modern, flavorful approach to Latin American cuisine. Every dish is designed as a small plate, making it ideal for sharing and experiencing the diverse mosaic of countries we draw from.
The passion extends beyond the kitchen. Our specialty cocktails, crafted by renowned Mixologist Ziyad Asrar, and a defined wine list, compiled by Sommelier Shebnem Ince, offer a genuine taste of Latin America—waking up and shaking up the senses.
The essence of Libertad is simple: it’s the kind of neighborhood spot where you can drop in any time for lunch or dinner to share a few plates, enjoy a phenomenal craft cocktail, and feel completely at home.
