    If you’re looking to day drink then a pitcher of mezcal margarita is the way forward. Served with real ice so it doesn’t get watered down too fast, great with the Al Pastor and Steak & cheese tacos.

    I only went to their take out window so I only ordered 3 tacos and a horchata. Their chicken tacos are amazing in my opinion. Don't be afraid of the pickle they put in!

    Half taco hut, half whiskey joint, Big Star is the place for al fresco meet-ups in Chicago. When the weather is warm, the doors of this former garage are raised and open tables disappear in a flash. Baca selanjutnya

    $40 for a pitcher of margaritas and I stumbled away very happy! Queso fundido, Baja taco and guacamole are outstanding. Go drink at the bar, the hostess will text you when your table is ready.

    Pescado (fish) tacos are delicious here. Al pastor tacos have pineapple adding sweetness flavor, which was interesting. Great margs as well albeit a bit salty, ask for no salt!

    Everyone knows Big Star is famous for its cheap and tasty tacos but it's the queso fundido that really wowed my tastebuds. Melted queso Chihuahua cheese compliments the peppers and meaty chorizo. Baca selanjutnya

    Los tacos de panza en realidad son de barriga (carnitas) y son extraordinarios. El walking Dead es más unos dorilocos que un taco, así que si eres mexicano no te van a gustar.

    Super crowded. Cash only. That said, all the tacos are great. Favorite is the chicken taco. Tostada is awesome too. Very trendy. Good place to go with friends. Hit up the window outside in a hurry.

    While it may lack variety — it has a small, one-page menu of primarily tacos — you can count on each dish to pack a serious punch. One of the main appeals of Big Star is its huge patio. Baca selanjutnya

    On a nice night, skip the long line to be seated and get your tacos from the takeout window to the left. There are too many good things to do in Wicker Park to waste your time in a 2 hr queue.
