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 alternative for those who don't want to fight the crowds at downtown spots like Frontera Grill. He's got an extremely affordable menu that lets you indulge in freshly made corn tortillas and delicacies such as huitlacoche quesadillas, prepared with an earthy Mexican mushroom and Chihuahua cheese. The drink menu includes beer, wine and margaritas, but cafe de ollo, a traditional coffee made in a clay pot with vanilla and cinnamon, is a more tempting choice.
