I’m
always
a
bit
leery
about
restaurants
that
have
become
famous
due
to
winning
an
online
award
or
that
is
proclaimed
to
be
“best
of”
something.
I
feel
these
awards
aren’t
based
on
anything
and
just
a
lot
of
hype.
However,
that
is
not
case
for
Don
Pez
Fish
Tacos
in
Lincoln
Park.
Tasting
Table
has
declared
that
they
have
of
the
20
best
tacos
in
the
US.
More
specifically,
I
believe
it’s
their
shrimp
taco.
This
is
one
of
those
times,
I
have
to
believe
that
the
so
called
experts
were
correct;
the
tacos
here
are
amazing.
I
went
here
recently
on
a
Thursday
night.
I
tried
a
wide
variety
of
tacos.
I
tied
the
mahi
taco,
the
quesabirria
tacos,
the
veggie
taco,
their
award
winning
shrimp
tacos
and
the
pezcado
tacos.
Both
the
shrimp
tacos
and
pezcado
tacos
came
out
hot,
cristy
and
delicious.
I
also
liked
the
quesabirria
tacos.
They
have
a
ton
of
cheese
on
them.
If
like
your
quesabirria
taco
cheesy
this
is
the
place
for
you.
However,
one
word
of
caution.
They
weren’t
super
crispy.
If
like
your
quesabirria
taco
with
a
lot
of
crunch,
you
might
want
to
pass
on
them.
I
also
tried
the
chicken
flautas.
Again,
they
came
out
super
crispy
and
delicious.
For
dessert
I
ordered
churros.
They
were
sweet,
and
yes,
absolutely
a
pattern
is
forming,
crispy,
hot
and
yummy.
I
also
tried
some
of
their
unique
drinks.
Most
surprising,
they
feature
a
huckleberry
shake.
For
those
that
don’t
know,
huckleberries
are
common
to
the
northwest
and
big
sky
region
of
the
US.
Apparently,
one
of
the
owner’s
relatives
is
from
Montana
supplies
them
to
the
restaurant.
While
this
kind
of
drink
was
totally
unexpected
at
a
Mexican
restaurant,
it
was
delicious
and
is
a
must
order.
I
also
ordered
the
aqua
fresca,
which
was
very
refreshing.
I
also
loved
the
restaurant
itself.
It
was
small,
it
has
the
ambience
of
neighborhood
taqueria
(which
it
literally
is).
The
walls
are
covered
in
festive
and
colorful
murals.
In
sum,
Don
Pez
Fish
Tacos
is
a
must
visit
taqueria
that
lives
up
to
the
hype.
