Other restaurants you can visit in July that are also taking part include Adobo Grill, Amerikas in Oak Park, Marina's Bistro, Mirella's Tavern, Tatas Tacos and Vinci. Each place is donating a portion of proceeds.For Cesar's, the collaboration was an easy choice. This is a family restaurant started by their mom and dad 32 years ago.
