I had a good beer and she said their Paloma was the best she ever had including the ones she had in Mexico, so their drink game is solid

Bàrbaro Taqueria — Wicker Park mexican that sets the standard. Order the Birria Tacos. Polished but not pretentious. "The guac was insanely fresh and seasoned perfectly" — Theisha Frazier [$$]

I have been there twice in a week. My mother loves the Pozole soup. The staff is very kind and friendly. Our server Rudy was fun and helpful.

My new carne asada taco spot... My last place feel off. Also the tuna tostada is awesome. Very "high end, fancy downtown" flavors. Super fresh tuna too.

Came here for a quick happy hour meal and drinks with my friend. For $15 you get two tacos, a beer and a shot.. what a great deal! We also split the nachos which were loaded and you didn’t have to pay extra for meat or guac. It was so cute inside as well such a gem!!
