Taco Azteca Chef Brings His Twist On Mexican Classics To Pilsen

PILSEN — When Carlos Garcia opened his first restaurant El Taco Azteca in 2016, he didn’t want to imitate other taco shops in Pilsen. He wanted to bring something different to the table.

Garcia envisioned gourmet-style, made to order tacos with handmade tortillas and unique pairings of salsas for each taco.

Instead of the traditional cilantro and onions toppings, he looked to elevate each taco with other ingredients like smoked red cabbage on his fish tacos slathered with sriracha tartar sauce. On his cochinita pibil, or slow-roasted pork tacos, he added a generous helping of habanero salsa, pickled red onions and black beans.

His innovative take on classics didn’t go unnoticed. “Chicago’s Best” named his cochinita pibil among the city’s best pork tacos, and the Tribune said Garcia excelled in tackling classic tacos while offering a creative twist.
