"The city’s hottest, and arguably best, tacos can be found on Western Avenue in Bucktown. Le Bouchon chef Oliver Poilevey and partners Sotero Gallego and Marcos Ascencio have opened a Mexico City-style taqueria, complete with trompos of al pastor. There are two versions — one featuring traditional marinated pork and a meatless variation made of marinated Portobello mushroom and celery root — alongside less common options like duck carnitas, morcilla (blood sausage), and costilla (short rib), all of which are served on handmade corn tortillas. Past creations have also used luxe ingredients, such as truffles and foie gras. For carryout ordering, click here." - Jeffy Mai
