Taco Mex

The Best Burritos In Chicago

"Aside from being a solid setup for 24 games of tic-tac-toe, the crosshatch griddle marks on Taco Max’s burrito ensures prime crispiness. And this Albany Park burrito takes structural integrity seriously—it even enlists a duo of toothpicks for additional reinforcement. There’s a clear division between the sections of crispy charred meat and the layer of sour cream and vegetables, so plan a precise angle of attack to get it all in one chomp. Even a little jaw stretching will go a long way to help the flavors and textures come together in the ideal burrito bite." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen, adrian kane
