Chicago is known for a number of things: Italian Beef, The Chicago Dog, Deep Dish, The Cubs, The Bear(s)... the list goes on. One lesser known thing that the Windy City is known for is Mexican food. Starting in the early 1900s, immigrants moved to Chicago from all over Mexico in search of work. What followed was a colorful, thriving and diverse array of Mexican-owned taco joints specializing in every regional taco you can imagine. You don’t need to look hard to find a good taco in Chicago, but lucky for us Chef and Taco Expert (literally) Jonathan Zaragoza is here to show us around. Let’s munch. 🤘🏼 Adam

    Hey Los Angeles Mexican guy here. I never thought of visiting Chicago. I know there’s a huge Mexican community there but it never drew my attention. My gf has always wanted to visit. After watching this, I’m so ready to book a flight. Thanks for sharing your town to more people such as myself, Adam and Jonathan. God DAMN the food there looks so good.
  • @seansampson7886
    This was some next-level PBS style shit! Loved the deep dive. Fun to see Jonathan share his passion and knowledge, too. MORE TACOS.
  • @nanaqwequ2368
    Dude has the food history of Mexico in his head plus the history of Chicago. Very impressive!
  • @RR1976
    Chicago has tacos that can rival those from any other city. So happy to have gone to each of these places featured.
  • @101urafail
    Thank you for showing everyone how Chicago gets down with some of the best Mexican food in the country ‼️
  • @Exiled_Rouge
    As you were standing in that alley, I thought, "That alley looks familiar." I knew it exactly after a few seconds. Chicagoan for over 50 years.
  • @ericheiserman9335
    Lived in Chicago for 12 years.. this made me my heart happy. You both made this from your heart. Made me feel like things will be ok☺️☺️

    I'd love to see this become a monthly special. Tacos are something I can never get enough of, and Chicago's scene seems absolutely amazing!

  • @unstoppabledoris
    I absolutely love Chicago. I drove from Milwaukee to Chi for Barca birria tacos and Guanajuatos on Belmont ... my favorites! I will make those spots a must for my next trip.
  • Being a Mexican Chicagoan, we pride ourselves on our tacos. You hit all the best spots! Gained a new subscriber today. Viva Mexico cabrones!!!
  • @ThyHolyNickel94
    I've had mexican food in 5 states, and illinois hands down has the best Mexican food. I've had tacos from probably 40 different restaurants and have yet to have a taco I didn't like. The rest of the country is sleeping on illinois mexican food 🔥🔥
  • @impolder
    never review tacos without Chef Jonathan! That guy is awesome, he doesn't just break down and describe the food perfectly, he goes into the art of tacos, the vibes of the restaurants and everything.. 10/10 review you guys!
  • @Grumpy_Raver
    Chef Johnathan is really great as an ambassador of Mexican culture in Chicago.
  • @ajr4596
    Been going to “La international” since I was a baby. I’m 27 now 🥲 honestly one of the best taco spot in Chicago for sure!
