Chicago's Best Spots for National Taco Day, October 6

Lakeview

• Cesar’s Killer Margaritas

Head to Cesar’s Killer Margaritas, where you can build your own Taco Dinner with soft or crispy shells, then choose from fillings like chicken, barbacoa, or a veggie mix for a meatless twist. Each taco is loaded with crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese, then paired with classic rice and beans. Cesars’ Shrimp Tacos feature sautéed chipotle shrimp and an avocado and cilantro blend. Served with black beans, rice, and a side of spicy Morita sauce for an extra kick.

West Loop

• Bocaditos

At Bocaditos, carnivores can dive into the Cochinita Pibil - pork rubbed with achiote and citrus, slow-smoked, then topped with pickled onion and a hint of habanero. For seafood lovers, the Camarón Taco pairs grilled shrimp marinated in guajillo with creamy avocado and fresh cilantro. And on Tuesday, Pork Belly and Chicken tacos are just $5!

West Town

• 'Dell Rooster

The Breakfast Tacos combine tender steak and fluffy eggs layered with smoky charred tomato salsa, fresh cilantro, crisp lettuce, onion, and a melty blanket of cheese, all wrapped in a tortilla.
