La Lunita is a modern Mexican restaurant and wine-focused bar from the team behind La Luna, serving late-night quesabirria, seafood, and large-format plates in a dim, music-driven room. Open into the early morning on weekends, it reads more like a polished dinner party than a taqueria, with mezcal, Mexican wine, and refined plating anchoring the experience.

Quesabirria, Al Pastor Octopus, Tampiqueña
What makes it special: A late-night-leaning Mexican spot where wood-fired plates meet serious cocktails and vinyl.

Puebla Restaurant has been serving Logan Square since the early 1990s, pairing mole poblano plates and big combo dinners with late-night hours near the Logan Theatre.

Must-Try Dishes:
Vegetarian Burrito, Burrito Suizo Dinner, Carne Asada con Cebollita
What makes it special: Casual Mexican café known for hearty vegetarian and suizo burritos.

Big Wig Tacos in Logan Square is a late-night counter where steak tacos, chorizo burritos, and crisp tortillas answer post-bar cravings until the early morning hours. It’s more about speed, portions, and convenience than nuance, but it consistently delivers hot food when most kitchens are closed.
Must-Try Dishes:
Steak tacos, Chorizo burrito, Agua fresca de jamaica
What makes it special: High-hour taqueria slinging tacos and burritos deep into the night.
