Notable Picks

$$ The Loop
Tortazo is Rick Bayless’s fast-casual Mexican spot inside Willis Tower, focusing on Mexico City-style tortas, chilaquiles, and salads with a full bar in a colorful, design-forward room. Office workers and visitors use it for higher-upgrade tortas, salads, and margaritas that still move quickly at lunch.
Must-Try Dishes: Crispy Chicken Milanesa Torta, Chipotle Roasted Chicken Chilaquiles, El Tortazo salad
What makes it special: Chef-driven Mexico City tortas and chilaquiles served in a lively Willis Tower fast-casual space.
$ The Loop
A Loop lunch-counter workhorse for fast, filling tacos when you want real flavor without a long wait. The barbacoa builds bring the cleanest payoff—onion, cilantro, lime—while the operation stays optimized for weekday throughput.
Must-Try Dishes: Asada Steak Burrito, Barbacoa Burrito, Breakfast Burritos
What makes it special: Halal-friendly Mexican burritos, bowls, and tacos built to order in a streamlined downtown space.
$$ The Loop
A low-key, office-corridor Mexican counter by the Old Post Office that’s strongest when you treat burritos like the main event: fresh fillings, solid salsas, and quick pickup-friendly pacing. It’s a smart rotation spot for Loop regulars—order one burrito, one side, and keep it moving.
Must-Try Dishes: Al pastor burrito, Steak burrito, Horchata
What makes it special: A tucked-away Loop-area Mexican counter with burritos that travel well.
