El Milagro
They have a tortilla factory. They serve them at their cafeteria next door fresh as can be. Steak perfectly cooked, wrapped up tight using the tortilla as a blanky. Comes with great beans and rice for a couple bucks more. They got other stuff that is pretty darn good as well. Worth taking some folks to Pilsen for lunch.
