Quaint taco shop near UIC campus. The prices are pretty low for Chicago and the workers were nice. The sauces for the table were a spicy verde, a medium chipotle sauce, and a not-spicy Mayo. A solid 4.5 star place. Burrito - absolutely loaded with filling! Little too much lettuce but tasted very authentic, especially with the verde and chipotle salsas on top. Veggie taco - I was surprised they used onion, bell pepper, mushroom, and corn (usually it’s just mushroom). They were cooked perfectly in a nice oil, though I felt the double corn tortilla wrap was unnecessary. Empanada - great roasted filling on the inside, not very crunchy/crispy on the outside. If fried a bit longer, would’ve been even better.
I have to say this cozy little place has a great taco! I've been craving a good authentic taco for a long time and coming back to Chicago led me to this spot. The taco hits every note and checks all the boxes, from the corn tortilla to the tender beef and fresh cilantro you can taste the quality ingredients you would expect. In Historic Little Italy Chilango has earned its spot.
Cute place, bright chairs, small shop. Delicious food! Green salsa has a kick. Elote is EXACTLY RIGHT! … More
