Tacos from Flash

This taco stand located just off a very busy six cornered intersection with long ramps can be confusing as it is located over Underdog so the signs have made some try to go down the dungeon steps.  Cash Only, BTW.



OK, so a bit of second hand info here first.  My wife had three hard shell ground beef tacos and one hard shell carne asada taco.  She liked the ground beef better but said 'they did not have much flavor'.  The tacos do come with red and green sauces that have plenty of heat but not really flavor.

The picture above is of four soft shelled tacos and they were ordered to be flour tortillas but three are corn.  Counter help was friendly but apparently we did not completely communicate.  All of the tortillas disintegrated.

The ground beef taco meat was larger than the BBs some serve so you get something to bite into.  Mild flavor though so of course as expected for Chicago.  Good solid food though just be ready to add spices if you like them.

The tongue was tender and the carne asada was not overcooked.  The chile relleno had substantial cheese but the pepper was under cooked.  Still though good substantial food.  If I lived in that area I would likely hit this place for breakfast several times a week with my own preferred spices in my pocket.  I might even try the breakfast tacos.
