Chicago’s Best Mexican Restaurants | Eater Chicago

"From the hustle of its stall at Maxwell Street Market to its permanent home in the heart of Pilsen, Rubi’s has been the go-to spot for mouth-watering asada tacos and quesadillas for more than 25 years. Stuffed on either blue or yellow hand-made tortillas, the eatery’s guisados strut their stuff. Dare to dig into the tender and flavorful beef tongue first. Then try the chicharrón. The green salsa in both plates is prepared with tomatillo, making it milder and lightly acidic. Don’t skip the complex red mole. And veggie lovers fear not! There are also options like zucchini blossom, cactus, or the earthy corn fungus known as huitlacoche. Expect a line to try them, as tortillas are made to order. Online ordering is available." - Brenda Storch
