Worthy Picks

$ Elmhurst Mexican, Tacos

Must-Try Dishes: Salsa chicken wrap, Bagel sandwich, Fresh juice blends
What makes it special: A neighborhood utility counter combining sandwiches/wraps with real juice options.
$ Elmhurst Mexican, Burritos
A small deli/grocery that’s surprisingly dependable in the burrito lane when you want something hearty and straightforward. Best treated as a quick, low-fuss stop—order one burrito, eat, and get out.
Must-Try Dishes: Bistec Burrito (steak), Tacos, Quesadillas
What makes it special: A deli that delivers a legit, savory steak burrito.
