Taqueria Uptown
Taqueria Uptown
Speaking of Tacos al Pastor, the best in town (I know, I once 17 different tacos al pastor in one day to prove it) can be found on this shabby corner spot featuring fake adobe colored window coverings. In addition to all the usual spices, achiote etc, the vinegar tang on the spit roasted meat here sparks the most jaded tongue. 1144 W. Bryn Mawr Avenue, Chicago IL 60660 (map) -
Birreria Reyes de Ocotlan
Birreria Reyes de Ocotlan
If you don’t care for pork, maybe Jaliscan style goat is your thing. The sign on the building says, "la mejor birria del mundo" or "the best birria in the whole world." It’s not an idle boast. Featuring tender goat meat steamed for six hours in its own juices along with smoky anchos and a dash of cinnamon, what is usually a stringy, rangy meat is transformed into super melt in your mouth hunks of goodness. Served with lime, cilantro and onions you can get your goat shredded in a steamy consomme-style broth or on top of fresh tortillas. 1322 W. 18th Street, Chicago IL 60608 -
Cemitas Puebla
Cemitas Puebla
or is it Taqueria Puebla
Celebrating the melting pot nature of the state of Puebla, this spot melds the best of its Lebanese immigrants and its indigenous cultures with its taco arabe, a thick flour tortilla similar to a pita studded with oregano, garlic and chili slathered spit-roasted pork, caramelized onion, vinegar, smokey and chipotle salsa. If there’s any doubt about authenticity, feel free to accompany the owners, Tony Anteliz Jr and his father Tony Sr. on one of their monthly flights to Mexico where they procure stringy fresh queso from Chipilo, a small poblano village, as well as indigenous chilis from Oaxaca for the restaurant. 3619 W. North Avenue, Chicago IL 60647
