Chicago’s Best Mexican Restaurants | Eater Chicago
"This beloved Little Village restaurant is Mexican breakfast heaven. Playing on the cathedral theme, its décor features saints and other religious imagery. According to the owner and chef Jalisco-born Ambrocio “Bocho” González, his collection has grown thanks to the saints and other religious motifs his customers gift him. The menu features something for a wide variety of tastes, from eggs, omelets, and pancakes to crepes and tortas, but this especially rings true for those with a shrine in their hearts to chilaquiles. According to González, at La Catedral, the traditional chilaquiles verdes are made with tomatillo sauce, or the very spicy a la diabla version, which adds the smokiness, and depth of chipotle chiles to the heat, are the most popular. Try the café de olla or sample one of the many coffee drinks or milkshakes. La Catedral has recently expanded with a new, modernized version of its original restaurant in North Lawndale (1407 S. Washtenaw) and a more compact, counter-only service offshoot in Brighton Park inside Clínica La Esperanza (4720 S. California Avenue). Online orders are accepted." - Brenda Storch
