Tacos

1. Taqueria Puebla

Neighborhood: Humboldt Park

Have I mentioned that I love tacos?    Today for lunch I was looking forward to a big honkin' burger from Calvin's but my wife shows up and throws a screwball and mentions of a place that has great...

2. Perez Restaurant

Neighborhood: Near West Side

and fat galore. Perez also totes a great, well-made, well-seasoned tamale. And they've got the cheapest, tasty and giant taco salads in the city.  Caveat: I've had better albondigas, tacos and enchiladas...

3. Tio Luis Tacos

Neighborhood: Brighton Park

I had the steak burrito and I must say it was gooooood! I love how they toasted the bottom of it. That salsa they gave on the side was good too.  My guy had the stuffed peppers and a steak taco. He...

4. Taqueria Traspasada…

Tacos al cesina and chorizo quesadillas...that's all you need to know. Finish it off with a bottle of Mexican coke (the kind you drink, not sniff, silly) and you are en cielo.  Stop going to La...

5. De Pasada

Neighborhood: Ukrainian Village

Could be the best taco's in Chicago.  I've had 3 - Carne Asada (steak), pork, and chile releno.  $2 for tortilla, meat, onions, cilantro, salsa .. $3 for super version (sour cream, guac, cheese...

Burritos

1. Torta's USA

Neighborhood: Lakeview

on a whim when my girlfriend moved in not too far away.  Since then, it has become a permanent fixture when someone asks "Sooo, what do you want to eat?" and we're in a rush.  Flautas, burritos, tacos...

2. De Pasada

Neighborhood: Ukrainian Village

much in a taco.  Can't wait to try a burrito and other dishes.  Place is small and cute, friendly and family oriented.  A plus....

3. Taqueria Traspasada…

and the green sauce is great. I highly recommend the pastor with a splash of lime and green sauce, it doesn't get any better. They also have Mexican Coke and the burritos are pretty good. I've had...

4. Buena Vista

Neighborhood: Lakeview

Burrito and Chicken Enchiladas.  Buena Vista was the winner!  The man that has always helped us (I think he's the owner?) is so kind and attentive.  The service is so quick and the food never disappoints...

5. Taco & Burrito…

Neighborhood: Lincoln Park

up and look like Chipotle.    In my view, Taco Burrito Place wipes the floor with Chipotle every day of the week and into next year.  If you are ever fiending for a quesadilla, drop on in and you'll...
