Chicago’s Best Taco Restaurants
"When you first arrive at this Little Village restaurant, you might question if you’re in the right place — after all, its name suggests a focus on Asian cuisine. But you’re in the right place as customers will see after catching a glimpse of the prominently displayed trompo. Tacos al pastor are the highlight of the restaurant’s minimal Mexican offerings. Unlike other executions of the dish that are soggy or cubed, at Asian Cuisine Express, al pastor tacos are thinly sliced. The charred-yet-juicy pieces of meat are served in small tortillas to maximize the bite-to-flavor ratio and closely represent what you would expect the dish to be. And don’t forget to order the pastor fried rice. This is a Chinese restaurant whose owners let the cooks have some fun. And the results are worth it." - Brenda Storch, Serena Maria Daniels
