Big Star Taco

We had some unseasonably warm weather earlier this week. Since then Chicago has taunted and teased me with blasts of cool and deceptive bright sunny days. Today is a perfect example. The sky is blue, and the sun is shining, making a girl dream of flip flops and white skirts, but the weather report says the temperature outside is 33 degrees. If Chicago were a friend, I'd say, "I hate youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu." And close it with a smile.

Anyways, this Monday it truly was warm, so I met up with my friend for lunch at Big Star Taco. Big Star Taco is really easy to get to via the el. It's right off of the Damen stop on the Blue line.

It was one of those bright bright days, where one has to squint to make eye contact and avoid the sun's glare. We sat outside, had a cold beer, and proceeded to demolish four tacos each.

The fish taco was superb. The slightly bitter and crunchy radish paired well with the big honkin' slices of creamy avocado. Lime juice drizzled out of the taco and down my pinky. I strongly urge you to pay a visit.
