Best tacos I have ever had in the city, bar none. Great vegetarian options. Horchata is to die for. Guacamole is on point. Order everything. You'll hurt, but it'll be worth it.
The best Mexican in Chicago. Go with friends and get the burrito ranchero and a pitcher of margarita.
Pork Carnitas: the tamarind glaze adds an unmistakable citrus zing to each bite, making what sounds like an over-loaded and fatty taco taste somehow balanced and restrained.
It doesn’t require a trip across any ocean to guess that the signatures—like pulled-pork-and-plantain and “Cuban style”–tofu sandwiches—are a welcome addition to this neighborhood.
Authentic Costa Rican fare in a casual mom-and-pop BYO setting with some of the best chicken burritos around. Experiment with the casado and an oatmeal shake. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
Super crowded. Cash only. That said, all the tacos are great. Favorite is the chicken taco. Tostada is awesome too. Very trendy. Good place to go with friends. Hit up the window outside in a hurry.
Velvet Taco isn't another drunk food stop, but rather a thoughtful restaurant doling out well-executed Indian, American, Cuban, Asian and Middle-Eastern staples that happen to be served on a tortilla. Read more.
The pambazo de papas con chorizo was delicious. The free salsa with chips was also some of the best in the city. The owners/cooks are very friendly and were checking in on us frequently.
This Mexican mainstay has an amazing back patio; potent and fruity margaritas; sweet-as-pie servers; and decent dishes for a nice price. http://tmout.us/maA24 Read more.
Delicious. Go with friends, order a bunch of different things and share so you can try more stuff. Read more.
You can’t go wrong with Mercadito; both the food & drinks are amazing, particularly any of the tacos – if you can get a table. Read more.
Similar to big star but less hipster! Tequila shots comes in s melting ice shot glass that you throw at a bell. Food is good, but overpriced. Service on patio was slow.
