Mexican restaurant · Heart of Chicago

"This Mexican restaurant in Pilsen has great tortas, gorditas, enchiladas, and huaraches, and almost everything on the menu costs less than $10. But what you really want to order here is the Taco Encarbonado. It’s made with perfectly seasoned charred ribeye on a large handmade tortilla, along with grilled onions, jalapeno, and beans. It’s $3.75, absolutely huge, and qualifies as a complete meal in itself. And it’s a lot more satisfying than eating an entire box of Lucky Charms for roughly the same price." - adrian kane
