Chicago's best Mexican


CHICKEN ENCHILADAS AT


TAQUERIA CASA DEL PUEBLO This taqueria is a part of the La Casa Del Pueblo grocery store next door and focuses on northern Mexican cuisine. We’re fans of the chicken enchiladas wrapped with corn tortillas and topped with red sauce—expect some bite. à 1834 S Blue Island Ave (312-421-4664). $7.25.


CHICKEN ENCHILADAS AT


TAQUERIA EL MEZQUITE A glass of agua de jamaica (hibiscus tea) and these enchiladas are all we


need. The juicy chicken enchiladas come as part of a mammoth plate served with beans and rice. à 1756 W 18th St (312-733-0402). $9.75.


ENCHILADAS VEGETARIANAS AT


IXCATECO GRILL Vegetarians, rejoice: We have the enchiladas for you. These hearty guys come packed with green beans and onions and are covered with tomatillo sauce and melted Chihuahua cheese, plus a side of black beans. à 3402 W Montrose Ave (773-539-5887, ixcatecogrill.com). $16.


MASA MARGARITA AT MASA AZUL We love the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness


with the bite of Cimarron tequila blanco, making this a margarita to throw back again and again. à 2901 W Diversey Ave (773-687-0300, masaazul.com). $9.


ROSEMARY MARGARITA AT ANTIQUE TACO One of the most popular margaritas in the city, Antique


Taco’s rosemary-tinged margarita puts a twist on the classic, adding just enough herbal and savory flavors to intrigue but not overwhelm. Pair it with the spot’s quintessential fish tacos, or just down a carafe on its own—you’ll be happy with your decision regardless. à Various locations (773-697-7142, antiquetaco.com). $8.


PEPINO MARGARITA AT DEL TORO Del Toro’s long list of margaritas can be overwhelming,


so we’ll make your choice easy: Get the Pepino. It’s refreshing, with only a bit of jalapeño heat. On second thought, order three! à 2133 S Halsted St (312-733-7144, deltorochicago.com). $8.
