Loved the margaritas, guac, queso and fish tacos... I mean, what's not to love. (Unless you don't love hipsters)
Order a supernal $3 taco de Borrego (marinated braised lamb shoulder with roasted scallion and Queso Fresco).
Tacos al pastor, which is spit-roasted pork cooked with pineapple and onion; a crunchy fried fish taco; and best of all, pork belly with tomato guajillo sauce, queso fresco, onion, and cilantro. Read more.
Queso fundido is so good. Love the pastor and asada!
BYOB. Queso and plantains are really good starters. Tortas never fail. Tried the chicken tamale, chicken was a little dry and unseasoned.
The queso fundido and the Carne Asada are so good. Make sure to try the handmade tortillas that come with the Asada.
Try their signature Swirl drink! And the chips and queso are to die for.
shopping then mexican at Uncle Julio's Hacienda - I go to get chicago's best queso and tortillas here!
The mojitos are amazing. And don't miss the queso fundido appetizer - chorizo, jack, fresh tortillas. Wow.
The mushroom queso fundido at Frontera goes beyond just melted cheese. They also have great tasting (not too sweet), really strong margaritas. Read more.
Try the queso fundido classico and mexcal margarita; both are A+. The blue agave margarita A-. The mole poblano a solid B; not exceptional but good. Try Guelaguetza in LA for amazing mole.
Fernando's puts the FUN in the queso fundido! Order w mushrooms! Yum!
Order the Queso fundido with Enchilada Chicken instead of Chirizo!
Great margaritas and queso fundido!
One of those places where truly everything is excellent. Start with the street corn and queso.
Get the queso
Mushroom Mole tacos are good. A bit pricey, but good
The sweet potato curry fries are not to be missed. Burnt-orange crinkle-cut fries are topped with crumbled queso fresco cheese and paired with a heavenly curry aioli dipping sauce on the side. Read more.
Get the sweet potato-curry fries at Saucy Porka. The crinkle-cuts are showered with queso fresco and green onions and served with dunk-worthy curry aioli. Read more.
Put a twist on lunch at owner Amy Le and chef Rafael Lopez’s Asian-Latin spot. The pair dish out unique fusion bites like chorizo egg rolls, bao tacos Cubana banh mi, Asian-style paella, and more.
If you're short on time, get a molletes. They're ready to go so no wait. Plus they're delicious. Try the tres quesos with goat cheese.
Favs: bacon & queso molette, fully dressed guac and corn poblano chowder
Got the Queso and Jam
I love their gorditas de queso! Their conchas are also amazing.
Best conchas I’ve had in the city. Go to the back and get the freshly baked wheat ones.
Get here first in the morning
Chilam Balam puts a "punk rock twist" on organic and farm-fresh Mexican tapas. According to Guy, the chicken flautas with pickled cabbage and homemade queso had great crunch and flavor. Read more.
New favorite Mexican joint in Chicago. Tiny, cash only, no reservations - cool vibe. Mostly small plates, so I'll list my three fave - pork short ribs, grilled shrimp, and empanadas.
Guy Fieri hit the road for homemade Mexican dishes at Chilam Balam, where they are making shiitake mushroom empanadas and flautas from sustainable, farm-fresh ingredients. Read more.
Great Tex-Mex style tacos and queso. Also, best place for watching sports in Logan, tons of TVs
Had a good time watching a game here. Spent the next 2.5 days dealing with severe food poisoning after eating their chips & guacamole though…
The people watching is FOR SURE the best part. Sit outside and watch people live. Carne asada tacos and cold beer to go with it 👌🏻
Spaghetti w/ Sweet and Spicy Chile 'Salsa Rossa,' Bacon, Queso Fresco

Voted Best Overall Brunch in 2015! From the service, to the decor, and of course the amazing food, we just love this Logan Square gem. This is one spot we could eat at again, and again, and again. Read more.
Good ambiance with delicious food at reasonable price. They change up the items everyday. The serve some great queso fresco!
Their buffet and their grab and go options are quite good.
The margaritas were delicious (but not that strong) and the queso tasted like home (Texas!).
Everything here is delicious and wait staff is friendly! If you are picky and gluten free, ask for corn tortilla quesadillas!
You'll wait 60 mins and the meal takes 30, but worth it. Put your name in and get a beer at Southport Lanes across the street.
Queso fundido! Also, steaks are cooked perfectly.
