Welcome to Authentaco, 1141 N. Ashland Ave. in Wicker Park. Felipe Caro brings tacos back to the former La Pasadita space in this “sleek” and “casual” spot, which features a menu of traditional and vegetarian favorites like chicken al pastor tacos, elotes and huitlacoche–also known as “corn smut”. Expect homemade tortillas and aquas frescas. Find chicharrones con salsa roja, rajas con queso (roasted poblanos with melted Chihuahua cheese) and carnitas con aguacate on a revolving menu, and find doughnuts and churros at a pop-up window from 6 a.m.-10 p.m. daily, as well as a foosball table and seating for 30.
