Taco Max Cantina sits in Chicago's Lakeview East neighborhood, covering Mexican staples from morning through night. Breakfast brings chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and breakfast tortas and burritos, while the taco list runs through al pastor, lengua, cochinita pibil, lomo, and beer-battered Ensenada-style fish. Nachos, queso fundido, and a trio of empanadas round out the appetizers, alongside fajitas, quesadillas, and tortas for larger plates.
The al pastor tacos have built a following among regulars, who also point to generous portions, attentive service, and a welcoming room as reasons they keep coming back.
