It's a pork-centric spot, so skip the steak! First impressions: From the outside, this small corner hut looks a bit uninviting. Inside, there are just a few chairs for dining, making it more of a functional stop than a comfortable restaurant.

Carnitas Don Alfredo (Melrose Park) has an incredible Carnitas Taco that you absolutely have to try! This place was featured in episode 2 of the new Chicago Taco Tour web series.
