If you’re in Chicago, don’t miss Carnitas Don Rafa! 🌮 Their carnitas are legit the best I’ve ever had - just like mama’s cooking! ❤️ I ordered the torta with those succulent carnitas, and my husband couldn’t get enough of his plate. The ambiance is cozy and casual, perfect for families or a laid-back night out.

Their mango margarita? Pure bliss! 🍹 Just a heads up, you’ll want to bring a jacket if you sit outside - it gets a bit drafty. Overall, fantastic service and great prices! Can’t wait to go back!
