The Garcia brothers ported their mother’s excellent beef-cheek taco recipe from Pilsen’s La Favorita grocery, and some others, including a nice puerco adobada and threw in an excellent habanero-pepper-studded Mexican hamburger and opened up shop between the Skylark and Nightwood, making south Halsted near Cermak a burgeoning restaurant row to watch.
