"A Northwest Side institution since 1954, this busy spot has two drive-through lanes (one for tacos, one for donuts) and is famous for both its award-worthy apple fritter and its breakfast tacos. Fresh tortillas are rolled out in view, and señoras scoop fillings from a steam table and wrap each taco in foil to order. The chorizo-and-potato taco is a highlight, with chunks of potato soaked in spicy pork fat and scattered bits of salty meat; the kitchen’s bustle and Spanish chatter make the place feel like a friendly, familiar dining room." - ByEdmund Tijerina
