Taco Diablo is a Mexican restaurant in Evanston, Illinois. BaguetteGirl said I have to try some Mexican food before I left Chicago. The restaurant was quite cute and it was quite funny to see all the devil paintings. We came here before heading to the city to watch the Million Dollar Quartet.

Complimentary Tortilla Chips and salsa was pretty good. It came with so many chips in that basket. Really fresh and I wish I could have kept eating this, but I had to save room for tacos.

Taqueria Guacamole ($6.89) chunky avocado, tomato, onion, lime, and corn chips. SO yummy, but it is a bit expensive.

Tortilla Soup was amazing! It was so flavourful and I have not been able to find anything like it in Vancouver. The soup was more clear and just so damn good. Highly recommended.

Spicy Shrimp Taco and Vegetable Taco.

Taco plate ($11.89) comes with your choice of 3 tacos and sides.

It’s Carne Asada Tacos and Pork Carnitas taco. All the tacos we had were pretty good and a good size. Each taco has 2 layers of corn tortillas and has a good amount of meat in the centre.

The sides that came with the taco plate was – rice and black beans. We were so fully from everything else, so we barely touched this.

I like it spicy, so I had to use the Tabsco and the hot sauce.

For 2 people we definitely ate too much. I think we would have been good just splitting the soup and having the tacos.

Brothers K Coffee House is a cafe in the university town of Evanston in Chicago. It’s where Northwestern University is located. When I was in the area visiting my friend, we decided to come grab a coffee before we explore the rest of Chicago.

The cafe was opened by Brian and John Kim. They take pride in using Fair Trade Organic and Direct Trade coffee in their shop.

They have another coffee house in the area called “Other Brother Coffee House”. Both these cafe’s are popular among students and freelancers.

Latte tasted really good and had some cute latte art on top.

Soy Latte was good as well.

Overall, it’s a really cute little cafe and it’s a great place to just hang out and get some work done. The coffee gave us a nice little buzz to get our day started. It’s cheaper and better than Starbucks.
