Rating Every TACO In Chicago (ft. Chef Jonathan Zaragoza)

Chicago is known for a number of things: Italian Beef, The Chicago Dog, Deep Dish, The Cubs, The Bear(s)... the list goes on. One lesser known thing that the Windy City is known for is Mexican food. Starting in the early 1900s, immigrants moved to Chicago from all over Mexico in search of work. What followed was a colorful, thriving and diverse array of Mexican-owned taco joints specializing in every regional taco you can imagine. You don’t need to look hard to find a good taco in Chicago, but lucky for us Chef and Taco Expert (literally) Jonathan Zaragoza is here to show us around. Let’s munch. 🤘🏼 Adam

I need your help! Jonathan and I are planning our next Taco Crawl and want to make sure the list is premo. Let me know your favorite taco spots (as a reply to this comment) that are NOT included in this video and we might hit them in the next vid! Thanks y'all.

Hey Los Angeles Mexican guy here. I never thought of visiting Chicago. I know there’s a huge Mexican community there but it never drew my attention. My gf has always wanted to visit. After watching this, I’m so ready to book a flight. Thanks for sharing your town to more people such as myself, Adam and Jonathan. God DAMN the food there looks so good.

The fire hydrant going off in the middle of the street is as Chicago as you can get 😂

Chef Johnathan is really great as an ambassador of Mexican culture in Chicago.

As a Mexican from Chicago, this is so accurate. From the alley, the water hydrant, the hospitality from the staff at these places and the food! Love it. Thanks for this journey. Chicago is truly the best ❤

This man knows his tacos. Those are all legit spots and the city’s best. Great video.

[Pedro-uzjz]

And ALL on the South Side!!! Hell yeah!

[Exiled_Rouge]

As you were standing in that alley, I thought, "That alley looks familiar."

I knew it exactly after a few seconds.

Chicagoan for over 50 years.

All of that food looks so great! I never knew that Chicago had such great representation of Mexican food! Bravo! Now I am hungry....

Chicago has tacos that can rival those from any other city. So happy to have gone to each of these places featured.

Been going to “La international” since I was a baby. I’m 27 now 🥲 honestly one of the best taco spot in Chicago for sure!

[Ayotwinnn]

As a Chicagoan I’m so grateful and blessed to be from the best city ever. God bless y’all

[markquintos]

Zaragoza is the goat. He’s very knowledgeable and would love to see him back again!

[Lyalith]

I'd love to see this become a monthly special. Tacos are something I can never get enough of, and Chicago's scene seems absolutely amazing!

Mi papa came out of the army in 46 and was taken a train from Philly to L. A., well in those days everyone traveled by train, he and it stopped in Chicago..He was surprised how many countrymen, Mexicans lived here and decided to stay. Just to say, he was successful here, helped his brothers come here, and they all had happy families here.

Thank you so many people don’t know that Chicago has amazing Mexican food!
