Chowdown Showdown is back, and this time with a focus on Mexican food.

Tacos el Norte. The one in Buffalo Grove is now located across from Lowe's in Libertyville. They have the best chicken flautas, enchiladas, and tacos--great place to go for a nice meal. Grande Jake's is a close second, but my vote is still for Tacos el Norte.

But, if "one in Buffalo Grove is now located across from Lowe's in Libertyville", then it's not in BG anymore...
