"What started as a humble butcher shop and market has evolved into a favorite destination for those on the hunt for local tacos and burritos. It is still a small grocery store in the front, but as you make your way to the back counter, the familial marinade recipes and homemade tortillas start tickling your senses. We don’t have bodegas in Chicago (those are the rules) but small family-run corner stores like Carniceria Maribel are some of our most beloved." - Alex Jewell
