- Quesadillas
I generally resort to eating quesadillas only when there’s nothing but cheese and tortillas around. I’m not saying they’re useless, but if you have anything more interesting at your disposal why wouldn’t you just make tacos? Or grilled cheese? It’s difficult to imagine ordering quesadillas out anywhere, particularly if you happen to be on 25th Street in Little Village, where La Chapparita #1 beckons with its irresistible assortment of tacos de fritangas. It took a recommendation from an authority, taco scholar Titus Ruscitti, to drag me six blocks west to Las Quecas, a quesadilla specialist from the owner of the adjoining Catedral Cafe.
Las Quecas, 2500-B S. Christiana, 773-801-0597, lasquecas.com. A second location recently opened in Melrose Park at 2130 W. North, 708-397-4615
