Altiro Latin Fusion restaurant coming to Plainfield

A new restaurant is coming to the now closed Glory Days Bar and Grill space in Plainfield.

The family-owned Altiro Latin Fusion should open sometime in February, Plainfield Mayor John F. Argoudelis said.

Altiro Latin Fusion also has locations in Aurora, Geneva and Wheaton. Argoudelis said he attended the grand opening for the Wheaton location two years ago.

It’s going to be a great addition to Plainfield.”

“I met the owner, Roberto [Avila], and said, ‘You need to come to Plainfield,’ ” Argoudelis said, adding that he was very excited to learn Altiro Latin Fusion was indeed coming to Plainfield. “It’s higher-end Latin fusion, but it’s heavily Mexican higher-end cocktails and food.”

According to the Altiro Latin Fusion website, the menu features “a tapas-style-inspired Latin fusion cuisine of classic dishes with infused new flavors from Spain, Mexico and South America.”

Tapas are small plates of food that are typically eaten in only a few bites.

Menu items use locally sourced ingredients, hormone-free meat and agave-based nectars. All fresh fruits and vegetables are delivered to the restaurant daily, according to the website.

Altiro Latin Fusion owner and executive chef Roberto Avila is a former professional soccer player on Mexican teams and a former “real estate guru in Mexico,” according to the website.

Avila’s wife, Erika Villanueva, serves as the interior designer and special events coordinator at Altiro’s restaurants, according to the website.

“It’s going to be a great addition to Plainfield,” Argoudelis said.
