Repeat Offender

Elwood’s weeknight crowd packs the house here for a reason. Repeat Offender delivers high-voltage Latin American flavors without the heavy post-meal slump—the entire menu is 100% gluten-free. Taco aficionados are constantly pointing their friends toward the 24-hour beef brisket and crisp Baja fish. The fresh tuna ceviche hits with sharp, bright acidity, while the chargrilled scotch fillet dripping in punchy chimichurri is a masterclass in fire-cooked meat. Those hunting for a proper weekend kickoff book the $85 bottomless brunch for the endless, expertly balanced margaritas. Warm, pet-friendly, and effortlessly cool. Grab a plate of patatas bravas, order a round of drinks, and finish strong with the lemon curd tart.
