"Little Village is also home to modern cooking. TacoSur opened in spring 2023 just steps away from El Faro and features a similarly of-the-moment dish: birria ramen, a social media-informed invention that made its way to Chicago amid a “red wave” of trendy birria dishes that have become a sensation in recent years across the U.S. Flash-fried, shelf-stable instant noodles are designed to absorb flavor, which make them a remarkable vehicle for savoring every drop of savory broth. The cultural mashup makes sense in the casual, counter-service restaurant where patrons can watch workers carve meaty swaths off a glorious trompo." - Naomi Waxman
