"If Xocome Antojeria were a movie, then the protagonist would definitely be the unbelievable masa, the base for the restaurant’s incredible tacos, tlacoyos, picaditas, enchiladas, and giant quesadillas (which are really more like machetes). And the fillings aren’t just supporting characters—they’re stars in their own right. Xocome uses tender filet mignon for their asada, and everything from the rich red mole to the flavorful huitlacoche ongos, to the steak in their burritos, is perfectly seasoned. The menu at this casual spot in Archer Heights is long, so plan on having an existential crisis deciding what to get. And everything’s made-to-order, so expect to wait a while for your food. But just sit back, enjoy whatever concert they have on the TV, and get ready for some of the best Mexican food in Chicago." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
