Owner Carlos Reyna's dedication to keeping traditional recipes and off-the-beaten path Mexican options on the menu at his Humboldt Park eatery make it a great choice for those who don't want to fight the crowds at Frontera Grill. He's got an extremely affordable menu that lets you indulge in freshly made corn tortillas and delicacies like huitlacoche quesadillas, prepared with an earthy Mexican mushroom and Chihuahua cheese. The drink menu lists beer, wine and margaritas, but a cafe de ollo, a traditional coffee made in a clay pot with vanilla and cinnamon, might be a tempting choice.
