Taco Boom bills itself as the first restaurant in Chicago to serve quesabirria, and the dish remains the house specialty. The menu stays short beyond that: steak tacos with onion and cilantro, and al pastor made with marinated pork, onion, cilantro, and pineapple.
The Lincoln Square location is one of two in the city. Regulars describe it as a hidden gem, pointing to the quesabirria specifically as well as a reputation for consistent food, friendly service, and prices that keep it feeling like a neighborhood spot rather than a destination.
