El Fuego Taqueria

The consommé alone is worth the drive across town. Three tacos for $12 and I was in heaven. The cheese pull is real. Chicago birria done RIGHT.

The heat hits you just right - not overwhelming but enough to make you sweat a little. Mango cuts through perfectly. Three tacos gone in 60 seconds flat. This is what street food dreams are made of.

Marinated for 24 hours you can taste it. Falls off the bone, caramelized perfectly on the grill. The banchan spread is generous. Bring friends, order extra.

Best tacos I have had outside of Mexico City. The street corn filling is genius and the salsa verde is made fresh daily.
