More than a thousand miles from the border, Chicago has more Mexican immigrants than any U. S. city other than Los Angeles. Migrants from across Mexico have brought their culture, traditions, and renowned cuisine to the community established in the neighborhoods of Pilsen and Little Village, on Chicagos South Side. This is a guide to some of the restaurants and shops carrying on the food traditions of the states of Jalisco, Nuevo Leon, Morelos, Michoacan, and San Luis Potosi from tangy mole sauce and spicy menudo soup torefreshing mangonadas and home-style tamales. Watch the video, read the history, listen to the voices of local business owners, and plan your visit to Pilsen and Little Village, a vibrant center of Mexican culture in the heart of Chicago

As a Chicagoan, I'm convinced that we have the best Mexican food in the US outside of the border states. Most of that really good Mexican food is on the South Side in neighborhoods like Pilsen and Little Village. Sure, we have haute Mexican cuisine with RIck Bayless's Topolobampo in River North (worth a try all the same, but the downhome stuff is just better south of Madison St. with only a few exceptions.

Im from the other side of 26 street lol Ive been in California, Arizona. New Mexico Nevada and honestly the Mexican food sucks lol everything comes with cheddar cheese lol and any tacos with just Cilantro and onions is a street taco that comes with some stewed meat lol. Wow Los Gallos I grew up in that restaurant. Second best Carnitas in the city El Molinas 31 Harding/Pulaski.

I'm so sick of hipster establishments trying to put spins on ethnic cuisines and ruining them in the process. On the other hand, these wonderful looking restaurants are perfect to me.

Didn't realize the Mexican influence ran this deep or this long in Chicago. Pretty cool. I'll be sure to visit next time I'm in town. My favorite is tamales & menudo or tacos al pastor.

Looks great but 26th street in the little village area is a damn war zone. There's plenty of other places to eat Mexican fare around Chicago.
