Taco el Jalisciense

About

This independently run taquería showcases regional Mexican cooking that moves well beyond the Chicago standard, drawing on the culinary traditions of Jalisco while incorporating techniques and ingredients from across the country's coastal and interior regions. The kitchen handles both the everyday essentials—expertly griddled tortillas, properly braised meats—and more demanding preparations like traditional moles and fresh seafood preparations that require skill and sourcing discipline. You'll find the kind of place where the owner's family background determines what's actually being cooked, not what focus groups suggest should be on the menu.
