La Chaparrita Grocery
Little Village
Hidden on a side street in Little Village, this is a contender for most perfect taco stand in Chicago—a tiny, friendly, almost-no-English grocery decorated with lots of Dia de los Muertos stuff, serving tacos you might not think you'd like (longaniza/sausage, lengua/tongue, crispy tripa/tripe), but are in fact incredibly flavorful and happy-making. Second location at 5958 S. Kedzie.
