Sometimes spots will make tacos de canasta to order which is kind of cheating. In Belmont Cragin the under the radar Taqueria Belen makes great fresh ones. If you go west down Fullerton you'll come across La Chilangueada where they make cute mini TdC. Another Southside spot called Guapo Taco opened a few years back and tacos de canasta and tamales are just about all they sell. The city's first brick and mortar TdC specialist (El Conde S.A) is still open on South Kedzie too. Sometimes you can find another family member selling them along Kedzie. While it's the suadero, longaniza and crispy tripas I always get at La Chaparrita they also do a very good batch of tacos de canasta. Other Chicago restaurants previously covered include what is probably the best taqueria in Chicago top to bottom. While typically eaten for breakfast many spots will serve them all day.
These days there's actual restaurants dedicated to them in places like Mexico City ( go to Los Especiales). In Mexico vendors will pile up a basket of tortillas filled a few tbsp of filling and cover the basket leaving them to steam while they walk around and sell them. FYI they recently moved a few doors down and are now open Fridays.įor those who aren't familiar with tacos de canasta they translate to basket tacos. Maybe the most "authentic" tacos in town if judging them by the closest you'll find to those in Mexico. I still think Tacos de Canasta Rossy are the best. Today I have a non-definitive guide on where to get them in Chicago. While they've been available in Chicago for a while ( Serious Eats Post from 2013) they're really starting to take off of late. Most likely attributed to the fact Netflix's ' Taco Chronicles' featured the humble Mexican snack in one of it's episodes. Speaking of social media tacos de canasta are having a moment across the country. Instead of complaining I'll just continue to spread the gospel to those who follow along both here and at the #ChiTacoTour hashtag on instagram. One of whom is so filthy rich he really doesn't need anymore free press. Mexican food is our city's number one food strength yet it's often overlooked unless it's one of the higher end chefs being mentioned. Even after coming back from a trip to Mexico I find myself wanting certain tacos in Chicago. Update: They did have one feature written by author Sandra Cisernos. That's too bad bc Chicago really is one of the top 2 or 3 spots to eat Mexican food outside of Mexico. Unless I missed it I didn't see anything on Chicago in the 20+ stories they commissioned. On the road with the 'Chicago Taco Tour'ĭid anyone catch the special issue Bon Appetit recently did dedicated to tacos in the United States? It was called ' Taco Nation' and it was very well done.
