1. Skyway Dog House
Skyway Dog has a wall with a print-out of its Yelp reviews! I found this quite entertaining as I waited for my food.
And, the workers here are smarties. The local newspaper has a picture of Skyway Dog employees (all girls). They have high grade points…More »

Neighbourhood: South Chicago
GORDITAS!
This is a grocery store that has a little lunch counter. Gorditas are damn good and one ($2.35 each) fills me up. Every once in a while I like to try out my Spanish but lately I've been ordering in English because I'm chicken.
And no, white…More »
3. Tropic Island Chicken
Next time you're in the hood, stop by for some of the best jerk chicken you will ever try. These guys are Jamaican and know their stuff. The dipping sauce for the chicken is out of this world. All sides are good--greens, macaroni & cheese, rice, etc.…More »
4. Pancho Pistolas
Ahhh Bridgeport.....have you seen some of the new houses in this area?
I've been going to Pancho's for years and it has definitely been getting more crowded the last year or two. This is my go-to place to go with girlfriends.
Last night we walked in…More »
5. Jovial Club
I felt like it was 1974 when I was at the Jovial Club and that's not a bad thing. The décor and feel of the place combined with EVERYTHING that played on the jukebox made me feel this way. Feeling like I was in the decade before I was born…More »

Pizza
Neighbourhood: Calumet Heights
Come down here and yelp this Leona's, North Siders!
Not a bad choice for lunch on the South Side. It was hardly crowded when we went.
I'm not sure if all Leonas have downsized their menus or just this one but it was missing items like the albacore…More »
7. County Fair Foods
This is one of the things I miss most about living in Beverly. County Fair has a great selection of fresh produce with some organic selections. Their deli is decent and I loved their fresh mozzarella. They even have a hot foods bar that if you're in…More »

Welcome to the 'hood, Desde!
It's slim pickins when it comes to lunch spots in South Chicago and this new Puerto Rican restaurant has the neighborhood abuzz with excitement.
So far I have only had the Cafe con Leche. It was really good and I…More »
9. Cocula Restaurant
Chicago, IL 60617
(773) 374-3214
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: South Chicago
3.5 stars
This is our go-to place in the 'hood when celebrating with a group. Their margaritas and pina coladas are pretty good. I usually get a burrito but today I had the carne asada taco dinner (yep, had it for lunch). I definitely have enough…More »
10. Gomez Taco's
This is my "go-to" place for cheese fries in the 'hood. A small serving is under $2 and ready in less than 5 minutes. Their menu has Mexican food as well as burgers, pizza, etc. Most people get their food to-go but there is a decent seating area.
