| - After having Roberto's carne asada fries for the one-trillionth time (they can only satisfy your cravings for so long), I decided to try this place out after seeing it pop up on my Yelp a couple times.
Location:
This is a fairly new business and has, to my knowledge, been only open for a few months. It is a very hole-in-the-wall place and you sort of have to look to find it. If you see a shop that has a sign on top saying "Carnitas Taco Shop", you've reached the place! Don't worry, I'm not lying to you. If you look at the door sign, you'll see that it's Chicago Style Taco Shop. The interior is honestly like how you expect a small, family-owned taco shop to look like. Almost every time I've gone, I've noticed the same people - most likely the family members of the owner - having dinner and relaxing in the shop, which really help make the shop feel more homey.
Service:
The owner, a man who greets you happily right when you enter the door, is so sweet! The first time I visited, he had no problem answering our questions. You could tell he has a lot of love and passion for the food he makes. When we were waiting for our food and there were no more customers up by the register, he took no time helping the cook make orders and make sure the quality was up to par.
Food:
Tacos: The tacos were also cooked to order and were served piping hot. The meats were juicy. You could even request a choice of salsas, red or green, to top them with.
Windy City Fries: Though I still do not know the difference between Chicago Style fries and regular carne asada fries, I've officially converted from Roberto's. You can choose between a small (better to eat by yourself) and a large (to share). You get to choose the meat and cheese to go along with these fries and everything is made to order. After much deliberation, my cousin and I settled on a large thinking we were hungry enough to finish it. The large was more than enough between the two of us, and we even had enough to take home for a snack! The fries were cooked to perfection, not too crispy and not too soggy. The toppings - pico de gallo, guacamole, meat, cheese, onions, etc. - were loaded on top and were more than enough to fill every bite with a burst of flavor. Why go to Roberto's when you could just drive a couple more miles to eat this plate of heaven? I may not know the actual difference between Chicago Style and Roberto's Style, but my mouth sure did!
I have officially turned into a fan of this shop. I see a lot of potential and I hope more people discover this place soon. It deserves to be recognized for the amazing food, service, and quality it has. Writing this review caused my cravings for their delicious food to shoot up, my mouth to salivate, and my stomach to grumble. I guess I know where I'm going for lunch tomorrow!
