Chicago’s Best Taco Restaurants | Eater Chicago

"From behind the counter of this half-Mexican grocery store and half-taco wonderland, taquero César “El Molusco” Castillo consistently delivers some of the best tacos in town. His technique uses a flat, thin, circular, hot surface with a dome-like center known as a “comal con sombrero,” just like the ones you will find on the streets of Mexico City. Start with the juicy and flavorful suadero, a Defeño darling featuring a thin cut of meat that is finely chopped and served with cilantro and onion. Try the steamed tacos de canasta with pressed chicharrón, potatoes, or beans before diving into the more adventurous items like cabeza (made with many parts of a beef’s head), crispy tripe, and sesos (brain), which are go-tos for regulars of this Little Village favorite. Featured among a few others on this list in the Netflix series Taco Chronicles, according to the show, owner Angelina Hernández prides herself on serving a taco “that tastes like Mexico.”" - Brenda Storch
