    Birrieria de la Torre

    6724 S Pulaski Rd
    Southwest Side, Chicago  | Map

    773-767-6075

    Bus: 53A South Pulaski, 63 63rd (24hrs)  | Directions

    Prices

    Average main course: $6.

    Description
    What this counter-seat–only birria (goat stew) joint lacks in size, it makes up for in flavor. Though all of the soups (birria, pozole and menudo) are way better than average, it’s the carne en su jugo that kills. A rich broth, chock full of creamy beans, bacon and chopped-up skirt steak hits the spot every time. Tacos and tortas round out the tiny menu, but seem completely unnecessary when faced with a giant bowl of steak soup. If they have them, order their homemade tortillas and fashion your own bacon-steak tacos.
