Chela's Birria Tacos

A hot summer day in Chicago doesn't tend to scream "birria tacos!" and yet I found myself eating at Chela's with a friend. The establishment looks small outside (there is definitely limited parking shared with a Subway sandwich shop) but there is a lot of seating. The service was great- the waitress was very attentive and the cashier was very nice. There are complimentary tostadas and sauce brought to the table and the birria tacos are fantastic! Multiple salsas are provided, but the tacos are spicy themselves. Highly recommend trying them out.

Finally tried this place, really good food and service was friendly and welcoming. Really enjoyed the birria Ramen!! Its a bit pricey but the quality of food is worth it. Cash Only and a great small, local businesses to support. Would recommend. Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: No Takeout: Yes … More

The menu is simple and the food is really good. The tacos are unique in that the beef and steak have deep fried tortillas filled with generous portions of meats and served with a side of dipping au jus gravy. Unique simple and done well. This little hidden gem is perfect after you lose your shirt at the Casino next door. Parking: Ample parking.
