The taqueria is everyday Chicago eating, densest in the Mexican neighborhoods of the South and Southwest Sides. La Chaparrita in Little Village is a beloved grocery-store taqueria known for its tacos de suadero and barbacoa. Big Star in Wicker Park shows the more polished, bar-driven version of the same form on the North Side.
Big Star in Chicago is the One Off Hospitality taco room at Six Corners on Damen, with an outdoor patio, a frozen margarita machine and tacos al pastor.
OrderThree al pastor tacos, a frozen margarita, chips with the smoky tomato salsa.
TipThe patio queue is long in summer. The walk-up window pays out a perfectly good takeaway dinner in five minutes.
