Rebranding Planned For Sweetchilango In Wheaton

WHEATON, IL — Sweetchilango will close its doors Nov. 1, amid plans to reopen by the end of the month as Bien Trucha. The restaurant announced the change Wednesday via social media.

Per the Facebook post, "This transformation is more than just a name change; it represents growth, creativity, and a renewed commitment to the community that has supported us from the very beginning. By listening to our guests and drawing from our culinary and hospitality expertise, we recognized that a full-service experience and expanded bar program were the natural next steps to make every visit truly memorable."

Bien Trucha offers an extensive menu of Mexican cuisine, including a creative selection of tacos. The cecina taco combines thin slices of beef with potatoes, beans, queso fresco and cilantro-serrano salsa. Seafood options include the atun, fried chunks of tuna and greens topped with lemon-habanero relish and celery aioli.

The menu also features vegetarian options that include a rajas con papas taco and a beer-battered avocado taco. A Lil Donkey ghost kitchen will also operate within the Bien Trucha space, serving up Mexican-style rolled burritos for pickup and delivery. A kiosk will be available for onsite orders.

The expanded bar mentioned in the Facebook post offers margaritas, sangria and other shaken cocktails.

Bien Trucha aims to begin welcoming diners to the reimagined Sweetchilango space by the end of November and will make reservations available "a few weeks after opening."
