Chicago Supermarket is a normal Mexican grocery store, but at the back of the store is a small counter serving fantastic tacos. You can get chicken, beef, and some other mystery meat. (We tried to ask what that meat was, but the people working there spoke no English. I mean, NO English at all. This is the sign of a good ethnic restaurant!)
We ordered a couple chicken tacos, a couple beef tacos, and a cheese gordita. We could have done without the gordita, but the tacos were AWESOME. Each one comes on a freshly made tortilla shell, and then you can garnish the tacos however you choose at the little salsa bar. We like to load them up with fresh cilantro, chopped onions, and some of the green salsa. There are several kinds of salsa and some guacamole - all yummy.
Each taco was inexpensive - like less than $2. They are known as Weekend Tacos, so I assume they are only available on the weekends.
After having tacos, be sure to pick up a bag or three of Taki's (little rolled tortilla chips) from the grocery store - we like the firey Fuego flavor!
Overall rating: Freakin' great tacos. Cheap, delicious, awesome.
Located on Buford Highway.

When I worked in Norcross there was a gas station that hosted a similar set up of non-English speaking taco makers. The tacos were cheap and delicious. I would like to take a class on how to make shells, er make them better.
