~My current favorite tongue taco can be found at Carnicerias ~Guanajuanto. This is a Mexican grocery with an excellent selection of ~fresh meat and a so so fresh produce selection. They also have ~carnitas, chicharron and a counter where they serve tacos, tortas and ~horchata. On the weekend they have barbacoa, menudo and posole. ~ ~Enjoy, ~Gary ~ ~Carnicerias Guanajuanto ~3140 N California ~Chicago, IL. 60618 ~773-267-7739

Oh, yum, I'll go check it out.  Right now our favorite place for tacos, tortas etc., is Taqueria El Ranchito mostly because they are open 24 hrs a day and deliver (no charge if your order is over $10), perfect for those 3 am taco de lengua attacks.  In fact, I've never actually been there, we always call. The tacos al pastor are wonderful too, tart, spicy and crispy and the chorizo is decent, not too greasy.  I would report on the tacos al carne asada, but they left them out of my last order...at $1.25/ taco, I didn't have the heart to complain.
