"The owners of Wicker Park mainstay Las Palmas shuttered the restaurant in 2020 and transformed it into Taquizo. The new casual taqueria focuses on Mexican street fare and offers a variety of both regular tacos and quesatacos that are rolled in crisped melted cheese. The latter can be enjoyed with fillings like al pastor, hongos, and suadero — a cut of beef between the cow’s belly and leg. Online ordering is available here." - Jeffy Mai
"Taquizo, formerly Las Palmas, has been transformed into a modern Mexican street food spot featuring a fresh look and a new takeout and delivery menu. The menu includes tacos de suadero, quesotacos, carne asada, cochinita pibil, and al pastor, along with burritos, bowls, and grilled carne asada fries. Taquizo offers lime, strawberry, and pineapple-guajillo margaritas to go. The venue plans to introduce an upscale menu in the future for its back atrium." - Naomi Waxman
"Taquizo, the new restaurant, will feature a street food-focused menu from veteran chef and restaurateur Yanitzin Sanchez (Mas, Sabor Saveur, Mercado Cocina), who will also oversee the culinary team." - Naomi Waxman
