Asian Cuisine Express
About
Asian Cuisine Express is a small restaurant on West 31st Street in Little Village that, despite the name, is known for Mexican tacos al pastor. Pork is marinated and stacked on a trompo, then shaved paper-thin with pineapple onto tortillas, and the al pastor is the reason the storefront made both Time Out’s and The Infatuation’s lists of the best tacos in Chicago. The restaurant is an unlikely specialist, a Chinese-Mexican counter in a neighborhood full of taquerias.
