"El Progreso sits inside a Mexican grocery store across the street from a federal penitentiary, helping this Benteen Park taco haunt earn its loving nickname (IYKYK, if not, Google it). There was a time when it was a well-kept secret, but these days, this tiny counter-service spot is always packed. And if you're a self-proclaimed taco fanatic, this is a place you should know, too. There'll be up to eight protein options depending on the day. Our favorite is the lengua—it’s super tender and topped with tons of onions and cilantro. Hit the salsa bar to add some spice (but the tacos are already perfectly flavorful). And don’t worry about the families moseying down the grocery aisles hearing your contented sighs as you dig in. They know the power of this place." - juli horsford, demarco williams
