"More than a taqueria, La Casa de Samuel is an established destination for authentic regional Mexican plates.  Founded in 1989 by celebrated chef Samuel Linares (who died from COVID in 2020), the Little Village restaurant features an impressive range of options that seamlessly bridge the well-known with the exotic, which this eatery reminds us, can be relative. Find iguana, rattlesnake, venison, frog legs, cornish hen, and even bull testicles along with their spectacular freshly-made tortillas." - Brenda Storch, Serena Maria Daniels
