Chicago readers, feel free to add others (note the conference is at the Hilton Palmer House in the Loop–please make a note if recommended restaurants are quite far away).
Jims Original on Union Street, just off of Roosevelt Rd (near UIC, an Uber ride)
Al’s Italian Beef on Taylor Street, near UIC (uber)
Rubi Tacos on 18th Street (in Pilsen)
Ghin Khai Eats Rice on 26th Street (west of Pilsen)
Both require Uber
Tacotlan on Fullerton Ave (northwest side of Chicago) definitely Uber.
Marz Community Beer (great beer and tacos) – off of 31st. South Side of Chicago
Definitely Uber
Green Street Smoked Meats (the Loop)
Uber
