Where Alice Waters Should Get Her Tacos Next Time She's in Chicago
I think the author means Logan Square, not Humboldt Park. Humboldt is a great place to go for a jibarito or mofongo, but it's not known for its tacos. The enormous steel scupture of the PR flag that welcomes you to "Paseo Boricua" indicates that most people in the neighborhood do not trace their roots to Mexico. I live in Logan Square, where I think some of the best Mexican restaurants are. Mis favoritos: Sol de Mexico--I totally agree with the author. Everything is great, especially the avestruz. Fonda del Mar--amazing fish/seafood. Try the fish tacos or anything with mojo de ajo. Taqueria Moran--the tacos al pastor (adobado) are the best in the city. La Pasadita--mentioned in another post, I think the best carne asada tacos in Chicago. El Nandu is Argentinian, but it's a great steak and empanada place for very little $. While I'm hyping my neighborhood, I also think we have some of the best barbeque. Honey 1 (for ribs), Fat Willys (great pulled pork and chicken), Smoque (best brisket), and Leons (tips to die for) are all better than anything I had on the south side (not counting my grandaddy's ribs!).

I've heard there's also a new Mexican street food-style restaurant that recently opened in Humboldt, either on Paseo Boricua or near there. Anyone know the name of this place? Is it any good?
