A corner room with a trompo in the window and a comal that stays hot all day.
Eighteenth and Halsted, Pilsen. A room of red chairs and white tile with the trompo turning in the window and a line that moves fast at lunch.
Tortillas are pressed from masa and cooked on the comal as the order comes in. They do not sit.
Everything travels: tacos wrapped in foil, plates in a box, salsas in cups. Call ahead and it is waiting at the counter.
