Notable Picks
#1
La Josie
8.6
A modern Jalisco-leaning room that shines when you order in a tight taco-and-shareables lane, backed by a deep tequila and mezcal program. The kitchen’s strongest plays are crispy, rich birria-style bites and bright, acid-forward seafood starters that keep the meal feeling paced instead of heavy.
Must-Try Dishes:
Quesa-birrias (beer birria) with consomé, Aguachile verde, Arrachera tacos (skirt steak)
What Makes it Special: Jalisco-forward cooking with a serious agave bar and rooftop energy.
Worthy Picks
#2
Taco Lulú
7.8
A neighborhood taqueria format built around a char-grilled arrachera lane, with an easy order-and-go rhythm that works for quick lunches or a low-key dinner. It’s best when you stay traditional—two or three tacos, one tamal or nachos, then stop before the menu sprawls into a full sampler.
Must-Try Dishes:
Arrachera tacos (char-grilled skirt steak), Pastor tacos, Handmade tamales (chicken or pork)
What Makes it Special: Arrachera-focused tacos with a classic taqueria playbook.
#3
Buen Apetito
7.7
A family-owned taquería counter inside the Chicago French Market that’s best used as a quick, practical taco run between trains and meetings. Stick to one clear lane—grilled steak or chicken tacos—and keep the order simple so it stays fresh and balanced in a food-hall setting.
Must-Try Dishes:
Grilled steak tacos, Grilled chicken tacos, Salmon tacos
What Makes it Special: Market-counter tacos with multiple grilled protein lanes.
