Takito Kitchen is a cute little sit down taco place on Division that *GASP* actually celebrates Taco Tuesday and *GASP* has outdoor seating and *GASP* allows dogs!
Unfortunately, the Taco Tuesday special isn't the greatest in the world ($3 tacos) and half off already pricey margs. But it's not the worst either!
Fellow taco connoisseur and ride or die babe, Sara Seibt, brought her pup, Dean, so we sat outside on their gorgeous patio:
We also made a reservation, but you probably don't have to.
The recommended taco was the crispy fish, but we also got an order of the Pork Belly because Sara has a thing for pineapple.
Initial thoughts? The pork belly was pretty good! It was seasoned well, had potatoes on it - we forgot to ask for extra cheese but that's on us, not the establishment. Solid pork belly tacos.
The fish... were only ok. They fell pray to too much slaw as most Chicago fish tacos do.
All in all, Sara and I think we would go back to sit outside, drink half priced margs (MAKE IT A DOUBLE, trust us) and eat "pretty good" tacos.
