The 38 Best Restaurants in Chicago | Eater Chicago

"Chicago’s Mexican community and food enthusiasts worldwide flock to this longtime family-owned counter-service institution in Pilsen that celebrates all parts of the pig. Order carnitas by the pound at the front counter and settle into a table — if one is available — to craft your own individual tacos with a mix of salsas, tortillas, and beans, or order tacos, soup, and cactus salad ready-made. Prepare for lines and waits during peak weekend hours. There are two more locations, including a recently opened outpost in Little Village. Best for: A quick lunch." - Ashok Selvam
