"No one accessorizes like Pronito. At this Colombian street food specialist in Elmhurst, you can grab a great, quick meal and fully express yourself with your choice of add-ons. If you want a plain cheeseburger, that’s perfectly fine. But wouldn’t you rather have one stuffed with ham, bacon, and crushed potato chips, with a little quail egg pinned to the top? This place also does fries, tostones, hot dogs, and arepas, all of which receive the avalanche-of-toppings treatment. Order at the counter, then find a seat at a communal high-top, and bring a stack of napkins for when you get pink sauce all over your face. photo credit: Kate Previte Food Rundown photo credit: Kate Previte Hamburguesa Prontitos When in Rome, get a massive burger that’s impossible to fit your mouth around. Prontito exists so you can eat such things, so take advantage. You’d think the ham, chips, cheese, and quail egg would be too much, but no. This is an exceptional late-night meal (Prontito is open until midnight), and it pairs well with an icy and equally excessive cholado." - Bryan Kim
