    ahhhh, my kingdom for a taco. Any kingdom, dammmit. As long as it’s a really good taco.

    I almost cried when I saw that picture. I’ve been in the Chicago exurbs for barely 18 hours and I already miss tacos.

    Dear Commenter of the Month,
    Where is there a place that serves tacos autenticos and that has wifi?
    Gracias,
    Jeannette

    You could probably use the wifi from the Starbucks next door at the Taco Plus location on National, but T+ is thoroughly mediocre in the quality of its meats.

    But hey, maybe if the city installs universal wifi, you’ll be able to binge on goat at Que Rico’s or sup on pastor at Tacos La Flama while getting your Defamer fix.

    Doesn’t the Starbucks wifi require a $30 a month T-Mobile wifi subscription?

    Probably. I neither drink coffee nor use wifi, so I wouldn’t know.

    Wait a minute–where is this again? Is that a bottle of Thai rooster hot sauce they have out, in the bottom left corner? I never thought of hitting some tacos with a little drizzle of that. Could be tasty.

    don’t blaspheme, that’s standard tapatillo. this is el taco movil truck @ roughly 3rd and normandie. if you go, the al pastor is damn good.

    Man, Joliet is 90 miles away. Screw that.

    I found a decent taqueria in a run-down strip mall (where else?) in an emergent barrio on the west side of McHenry, IL. However, it’s still very much calibrated to gabacho tastes: burritos come standard with cheese and sour cream. It took me a minute to explain that I wanted solamente carne, arroz, frijoles, cilantro, y cebolla.

    Pete,
    Knowing your mastery of Spanish, they probably thought you were asking for a Cuban chicken car.

    The next time I go visit my brother in Logan Square (a somewhat Mexican-heavy nabe on the Northwest Side of Chicago), I will make sure to look for penis tacos. If I find any, Jeanette, you’ll be the first to know.
