Especialidad de la Casa Pt. 11

-Eating like a Mayan King in the Windy City

I've spent the last few weeks working a gig out in the Southwest suburbs and was able to visit some local restaurants while out there. Middle Eastern and Mexican are common in the area and today we’ll visit five spots of the Mexican variety in our ongoing feature: specialties of the house.

Laredo Taco Company (Various Locations)

First up is a corporate spot for some very serviceable breakfast tacos. Dallas based 7-Eleven has brought their Laredo Taco Company brand to Chicagoland and select Speedway outlets. One of which is in Bedford Park (none in the city). The menu is Tex-Mex and it’s some of the best Tex-Mex you’ll find around town but that’s bc it’s running unopposed. But even still the breakfast tacos and carne guisada are much better than those rolling tubes of mystery meat typically found as gas stations.

Blue Star Taco & Margarita Bar (Justice)

Our next stop is a taco shop that doubles as a margarita bar - you know the type of spot I’m talking about. Blue Star Taqueria is a family owned place with a new school feel. They make tortillas on sight but serve their tacos on those terrible holder type trays so I was reluctant to go as those are a big hint as far as the type of place you’re going into. But there’s always exceptions and the tacos here are better than spots of a similar genre. Their specialty taco is the 'Blue Star' which starts with a made in house blue corn tortilla dressed with battered cod, slaw, and chipotle tartar sauce. It’s one of the better fish tacos in the Chicagoland area, anchored by some terrific tortillas.

Taqueria Mi Nuevo San Juan (Burbank)

If you’re looking for a more traditional taqueria I suggest checking out Mi Nuevo San Juan. It’s an awesome family owned spot hidden in the corner of a Burbank strip mall. The menu has a few odes to the family’s home town San Juan de los Lagos in the Mexico State of Jalisco. I loved the tacos estilo San Juan which come with crispy bits of bistec and your choice of potatoes, rice, beans, or cactus. These are reminiscent of tacos I’ve had in Mexico. That extra tortilla on top is to help you scoop up all the fillings that come spilling out when eating them.

Cafe Salsa (Countryside)

Next up is a popular weekend dining destination in Countryside. Cafe Salsa is Tex-Mex-ish in feel as it’s a large space where they bring out the free chips with a heavy tomato based salsa and a big jug of ice water to serve yourself with. I got tipped off on this spot by a guy I follow on Instagram who had nice things to say about their flautas which are a favorite of mine. Though it’s tough to find a place that does them proper but I can verify that Cafe Salsa is one of them. They’re made to order and they manage to stay crisp on the outside while the inside is filled with soft and smoky ground beef. The kiss of smoke is what really sets these apart from others.

El Faro (Summit) 

Last stop takes us to Summit where El Faro has been serving up giant steak burritos to generations of locals. Before Covid it was especially popular as a post drinking destination but these days they close around 10/11p. I tried one of those big ass burritos and was surprised it was just $7, for steak. What didn’t surprise was the minimal amount of meat it had compared to some other spots but at $7 it hit the spot as far as cheap eats. I stopped in bc I actually had the taste for one of those burritos that has all the gringo loved fillings including lettuce, tomato, cheese, and sour cream. Some customers say El Faro has gone downhill but it’s also possible they’re taste and idea of what good Mexican food is has changed. Nonetheless I got exactly what I wanted when I decided to check it out. A total 1990’s Chicago style Mexican spot similar to all of those places with taco and burrito in their name.

Need assistance recovering stolen cryptocurrency wallets, recovering cryptocurrency taken by scammers, or reporting a Bitcoin scammer to recover cryptocurrency? There's only one way to tackle this: to recover assets that have been deceived by scammers, you need to work with an experienced professional in cryptocurrency recovery. I had made several attempts to get my money back after losing $417,000 to an online fraudulent investment organisation. I tried a number of recovery businesses, and most of them ended up demanding more money. My former colleague advised me about WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY. I contacted the Expert and, upon submitting my reports, the Expert was successful in retrieving my funds. WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY can be reached at: WIZARDJAMESRECOVERY(@)USA(.)COM

The most reliable and dependable recovery agent available online is WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY. I have encountered many recovery agents, but he is the greatest one yet. A few months back, I was cheated out of €418,000 worth of Bitcoin by an individual who fooled me into believing they were an online Forex trader. I made an investment on this website and ultimately had to pay more to take the profit I had initially paid for. I became aware that I was being conned and used simultaneously. When I looked online, I saw numerous testimonies of WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY and how he had assisted many in getting their money back. When I emailed him at (wizardjamesrecovery@ usa. Com), he unexpectedly restored what I had lost in just three days. I'll be grateful for the excellent work eternally.

Let's face it, attempting to perform a spell with a damaged wand can be just as successful as utilising typical recovery procedures. They frequently have restrictions that irritate us more than a magician's helper stuck in an endless box trick. Fortunately, Wizard James Recovery distinguishes themselves with a novel and novel strategy. Traditional recovery techniques sometimes rely on outdated techniques that could leave you feeling trapped in a never-ending loop of reading forums and speaking with self-described experts. It's similar to attempting to blindfold yourself and find a needle in a haystack. On the other hand, Wizard James Recovery can swiftly recover your lost Bitcoin thanks to cutting edge technology and a team of experienced professionals. Like the superheroes of the digital world, they save you when it seems like there is no hope left.

On the other hand, if you choose Wizard James Recovery, a dedicated staff will support you during your recovery and address any worries you might have. It's like having an experienced tutor who understands the inner workings of the Bitcoin ecosystem. In summary, Wizard James recovery is a welcome deviation from traditional methods of recuperation.

We were content as a family and doing well with our salary level. But my wife, a firefighter, was off from work for over a year due to an incident at work. As this was a Worker's Compensation case, she was not permitted to look for employment at this time. It didn't take long to deplete our funds because we had six kids. This coincided with the period of the greatest bull run in the history of the Bitcoin market, at which time everyone was searching for and receiving offers to invest in Bitcoin and make substantial profits from home. We really tried twice to accomplish this, which required us to use valuable assets to make the upfront payment, but things didn't work out. The second company actually vanished and deactivated their website. Very annoying. After reaching out to a lawyer, we were advised to seek the help of a crypto recovery company, which we ultimately decided not to pursue. You may appreciate my concerns after we lost our money twice and I was unable to trust anything online again that it took me two attempts to even consider it. Upon my wife's eventual agreement, we pushed hard to locate a reliable cryptocurrency recovery firm that would eventually help us get our money back. A review for WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY SERVICES ( wizardjamesrecovery @ use. com) caught our attention one day. The fact that he was Gephardt Approved fascinated us. He assured us that he could help and carefully addressed our queries after speaking with James. He keeps his word and will provide us with an update the following day to keep us informed. When the money was finally extracted from both businesses and we had the money in our account, he celebrated with us. He was well worth the money we spent, but this is not an overnight remedy. Life has been fantastic, my wife has returned to work, and I am incredibly grateful right now. Much obliged. You can reach WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY SERVICES by WhatsApp (+ 4 4 7 4 1 8 3 6 7 2 0 4) at this number as well. He can assist you.
