"If you're looking for good tacos, chances are you'll find them in the most unassuming places. Some of the best Mexican food in the country comes from tiny, hole-in-the-wall spots that no one talks about. These are the places that don't need big advertising campaigns or influencer reviews; they let the food do the talking - and one such place is Chicago's Taqueria Guanajuato."
"Known for its fresh ingredients and authentic recipes, Taqueria Guanajuato serves up some of the best tacos in Chicago, and it's long been a favorite of locals who are in the know. Each of the four locations is connected to a grocery store called Carniceria Guanajuato, which supplies all of the produce for the dishes. Nothing is ever frozen or prepared far in advance, and everything is made in-house, helping to keep costs down."
Taqueria Guanajuato operates four Chicago locations and sources produce from the attached Carniceria Guanajuato grocery, ensuring no frozen ingredients and made-in-house preparation. The business began in the 1980s when Mexican immigrant Don Miguel Silva started a small fruit stand that evolved into a grocery and taco spot now run by the Silva family. Daughters Evelyn and Jazmin manage three locations while a cousin runs the fourth. The operation focuses on customer service, consistent flavor, generous portions, and low prices. Customers praise the authenticity and flavor; tortas and braised carnitas tacos are particular favorites.
