"Having moved from Bucktown to Fulton Market while keeping the same ethos of honest cooking with great ingredients, this Mexican street-food spot is known for sought-after tacos and specials; the octopus roasted on a trompo is one of the restaurant’s most popular dishes. The owners — who also operate Obelix and Le Bouchon — show a small French influence in technique, and Michelin flagged the specials: “Ever had a blood sausage taco with salsa macha? Here’s your chance.” A trio of Mexican chefs who worked at French restaurants including La Sardine and Le Bouchon helped bring highlights such as al pastor, morcilla (blood sausage), and duck carnitas; place orders via Toast." - Ashok Selvam
