A taqueria counter tucked into the back of a grocery store — the curly chicharrón and carnitas tortas are the reason people know to look for it.

The business dates to 1978, a family-owned grocery store with a taqueria tucked into the back — built from scratch by the current owner's father, per the store manager. The carnitas and chicharrón bring people in from across the city and suburbs, especially on weekends, making it as much a destination taqueria as a neighborhood carniceria; fresh green salsa and Milagro tortillas frequently sell out.

Axios named it among readers' favorite grocery-store tacos in Chicago, and it's the carnitas ($3.79) and asada ($3.99) that regulars order without thinking twice.
