Halal tacos, smashburgers, fried chicken, and donuts
"Acclaimed chef Brian Jupiter of Frontier and his CDC Azazi Morsi bring Portage Park Migos Fine Foods, a casual neighborhood spot featuring an array of halal tacos like barbacoa available with lamb or beef, al pastor with chicken instead of pork, and a selection of vegetarian options, like jerk cauliflower. Round out the meal with the eatery’s popular hand-battered fried chicken, available as wings, tenders, or within a torta." - Brenda Storch
"A Portage Park counter celebrated in 2024 for its halal chicken pastor tacos—part of a broader taco surge across the city—offering a notably delicious and approachable take on that classic flavor profile." - Ashok Selvam
"The chefs behind Frontier launched Migos Fine Foods, a casual spot with halal meats in different forms, like beef barbacoa tacos, lamb smashburgers, and fried chicken wings. Seating is extremely limited at this small Portage Park shop, so be prepared to opt for delivery or takeout." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
"The absence of pork at a taqueria isn’t felt at Migos Fine Foods thanks to a stellar chicken al pastor. It’s a standout, as is a lamb smash burger served on telera. This takeout-only space comes from two veterans — Brian Jupiter (Ina Mae Tavern, Frontier) and Azizi Morsi, an Algerian-born chef who worked with Jupiter at Frontier. Find unique sandwiches, garnished with zesty salsas, and fried chicken (it’s all halal). Migos is a breath of fresh air for Portage Park and the rest of the city. Don’t forget the carrot cake and cookies from Jupiter’s wife, Renata Jupiter, who runs Ardry’s Pastries." - Ashok Selvam
"On the Northwest Side in Portage Park, a delivery- and carryout-focused spot at 5044 W. Montrose near the Jefferson Park border will center on a fun, fast, casual approach with just 12 seats and a small patio, offering affordable eats meant to be enjoyed more than once a week; the menu highlights halal fried chicken and tacos, they won’t serve alcohol, and Frontier mixologist Edgar Garcia is creating agua frescas. Brian Jupiter — a New Orleans native and 2019 James Beard semifinalist for Best Chef: Great Lakes — is partnering with Frontier chef de cuisine Azazi Morsi on the project, they plan to expand into catering in May, the restaurant is separate from Jupiter’s Pioneer Tavern Group, and it’s scheduled to open April 2." - Ashok Selvam
