Lucido's Tacos

Mexican restaurant · South Lawndale

@eater

"The stunning quality of Lucidos’s tacos al pastor makes it no wonder that what started as a weekend home-based kitchen has secured a brick-and-mortar location. Lucido’s menu features staples like chilaquiles and sopes and quesadillas and enchiladas. Unlike many typical taquerias which are open primarily during the evening hours, this Little Village restaurant opens in the morning and serves breakfast.  But with al pastor so good, it might be easy to be distracted. To get the full experience, order it “con todo”, meaning, with all the garnishes. Don’t forget to request pieces of grilled pineapple for that perfect sweet and tangy kick (it’s not included with “con todo” here). Experiment with the red and green salsas to add another dimension of flavor or start by squeezing a hint of lime. To fully embrace the taco culture, hold your taco lightly by the middle and lift your pinky finger as the locals do in Mexico City." - Brenda Storch, Eater Staff
