Nuevo Leon - Another Neighborhood Gone

I had dinner at Nuevo Leon in Pilsen tonight*.  It was very good; authentic Mexican food with great tortillas, steak tacos, and refried beans.  While the food was good and the restaurant was good, the really interesting part was Pilsen is very gentrified.  There was much more of a mix of ethnicities than I expected.  It was very interesting to see the gentrification process midstream.  It's kind of like Wicker Park six+ years ago.  And Logan square 2 years ago.  Part of me feels bad for the group being pushed out.  The other part of me thinks it's good to see the groups mix.

Happy Cinco de Mayo.
