The 25 Best Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation
"If Xocome Antojeria in Archer Heights were a movie, then the protagonist would be the unbelievable masa, the base for the restaurant’s incredible tacos, tlacoyos, picaditas, enchiladas, and giant quesadillas. And while the masa is the main reason we wish this counter-service spot were open for longer hours (they close at 7:30 pm), 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 earthy huitlacoche hongos is perfectly seasoned. The long menu can be overwhelming, so to avoid an existential crisis, make sure you get a tlacoyo, something filled with carne asada, and a pambazo just for fun. 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 the best Mexican food in Chicago." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
