The West Loop’s Boozy Taco Spots, Ranked - Chicago - The Infatuation

"The last thing a city full of taquerias needs is a national chain cosplaying as one. But Tacombi, a taqueria chain with locations all over the East Coast co-owned by one of the Shake Shack guys, opened on Randolph and Peoria. The food is pretty good: they have chewy tortillas, crispy quesabirria, spicy esquites, and all the meat is flavorful. Still, it’s hard to shake the feeling you’re at a Disney-esque “Taqueria World” while waiting 20 minutes for a $9 taco on a branded folding chair and table staring at the entrance to Gin Alley." - adrian kane
