KITE STRING started with a straightforward mission: make a bar snack that doesn’t leave anyone out. From day one, the kitchen has been entirely gluten-free and nut-free, with vegan and vegetarian taquitos always on the menu.

Led by Chef Renee Ragin, a Frontera Foods alum, this woman-owned bar has been handcrafting taquitos from scratch since 2018. Every tortilla is hand-pressed, and every taquito is hand-rolled by Renee herself.

She runs the space alongside her partner, Andrew Ragin, a member of Chicago metal bands The Atlas Moth and Black Cross Hotel, who leads a bar program featuring standout local beers, agave-forward cocktails, cider, and thoughtful non-alcoholic options.

All are welcome. Come hungry.
