Fourteen Mexican spots clear our bar in Chicago. Two hit Delicious as F*ck.

Cariño and Topolobampo lead — a Michelin One Star with a James Beard Finalist nod in Uptown, and a One Star running $$ off a 2017 Beard win in River North. Behind them, Birrieria Zaragoza and Mi Tocaya Antojería hold Delicious with Bib Gourmands of their own. The rest of the list is ten Damn Good spots, six carrying Bib Gourmands, spread from Pilsen to Belmont Cragin. Chicago's Mexican scene runs deep beyond the headliners.
