The Pupusas look good. They will fill you up. Pro tip: No forks & knives. Put some curtido on your plate and drop that salsa on it. Then tear a piece off that Pupusa and scoop up the curtido. Your videos are fantastic, Papa. Entertaining and educational.
I moved from the suburbs 10years ago to Garfield ridge and I dont regret it. It feels like the suburbs BUT without the high paying taxes! Great neighborhood, very safe with all the cops living around me😁 grate place to raise a family! Great video! I learned alot!
This is the neighborhood I grew up in the condos u showed and went to st. Rene school. Thanks for showing the world this hood bro. Was a great place to grow up.
My family has been in this area for almost 80 years. I live in Archer Heights but I was born in West Lawn and went to grammar school in West Elsdon where my dad's family lived. I am very familiar with Garfield Ridge, Clearing, Archer Heights, West Elsdon, and West Lawn. My grandparents moved to the area in the 1940s from West Englewood. Glad that you showcased a small part of our humble Midway community. In terms of cuisine, we are definitely known for our Mexican food these days though twenty years ago we had a lot of Polish delis and a great Polish buffet called Tatras on Pulaski and 60th. It would probably be easiest to feature a "best of" when it comes to all of the taquerias in the area. I'd recommend Xocome Antojeria on Archer for their filet mignon tacos and traditional chorizo/potato pambazos & they were recently on ABC7 or WGN (can't remember which). Zaragoza was named one of the best taco spots in Illinois and they do great birria, they've been around a while now. (I think they're opening a second spot in Albany Park area, maybe Logan Square?) Solazo on Pulaski recently reopened after a fire some years ago with an updated hip interior. Las Picosas does those pork tortas that are served wet which is pretty popular in the area. I personally love the pork belly tacos at La Haciendita on Pulaski and 59th. My favorite chiles rellenos are at Indio on 63rd street, their steak tacos are AMAZING too with queso, lettuce and tomato (American style) and the best Mexican breakfast is also on 63rd street at La Quebrada as they have great arrachera. I hope that you visit one or more of these spots on your next trip to the south west side :)
You have a great channel Love what you’re doing.When I lived in old town/Lincoln park I worked shift work and had weird days off and used to drive around different neighborhoods looking for little places to get different ethnic food
SOUTHWEST SIDE represent! Interesting video. I had no idea Wentworth built a home at 55th and Harlem. That's the area I'm originally from. It was great learning who all of these landmarks were named after.
I agree. Besides Midway airport, I don't know anything about the southwest side. Edit: Oh yeah, and I remember this was the area where I would take the bus to see a Chicago Fire soccer game. It was so annoying because it took me so long to get to the stadium.
@@davidgarcia9308 Actually, Soldier Field isn't too bad for me. I just take the Red Line to Roosevelt, and either take the 146 bus (if I remember correctly), or just walk to the stadium. While it takes some time, it's much better than going to the stadium the Chicago Fire used to play in.
I was 15 years old in 1972, I grew up on 43rd & Keating, one block east of Cicero Ave. the Sleepy Hollow Neighborhood. A couple friends and I would walk or ride our bikes to Midway and wait for the pilots to exit the planes when they would come in. We would then ask them if we could board the plane and see the cockpit. 99% of the time the pilots would give us a tour of the planes , and let us sit in the cockpit. They also gave us wing pins as souvenirs. Unfortunately, the way things are these days those times are gone forever.
Hi, Luis. Nice presentation. I'm from Southern California, but I have lots of family in Chicago and nearby suburbs. I've had a great time all the times I've visited Chicago. Fun & exciting city. Thanks for sharing 👍
Just booked my flight to Chicago for the end of April and early May! I will be landing in Midway so this was right on time! First time to Chicago, so I'm pretty excited. Your videos have helped me plan my trip. Thanks!
It's actually the best neighborhood to raise a family and in my opinion best schools bunch of cops everywhere because they live there a lot of residential parking so you'll be able to get a parking spot very calm living
loooove your videos! my partner and i are planning to move up to chicago from nola and we’re always watching your content to learn about the windy city. side note: what type of shoes are you wearing in this video?
One suggestion for future episodes is please leave the titles up for a few more frames. Had to finesse the back 10 seconds button several times to finish reading what you had thrown up on the screen (for example ingredients on the Italian sub - which looked so good).
You must of gotten a car! (Please tell us the truth) All the locations are FAR apart! Especially when it’s cold out!! I learned a lot of my neighborhood (crazy that you came by and talked about it)
What's good #GustoNATION, have you been out to explore Clearing? What neighborhood should we visit next?
Evergreen Park
Pretty sad when they stopped Chicago's Best. Glad you're here to fill my fix!
The Pupusas look good. They will fill you up. Pro tip: No forks & knives. Put some curtido on your plate and drop that salsa on it. Then tear a piece off that Pupusa and scoop up the curtido.

Mom & Dad's deli is the place to go! 🥪

Thank you so much!!
You have a great channel

Your cinematography just gets better and better! Loved this vid ✈️
This reminds me of landing at LaGuardia in NYC, which is damn close to some amazing areas.
Thank you Luis ! You have taught me a lot about the Clearing neighborhood on the Southwest side.
of chicago
Nice video! Will definitely try some of the restaurants.
Bedford Park...The Rosemont of the South Side
Been living 1 block away from Mom & Dad's deli for 26 years now
Great video, I didn't know anything about Clearing.
Thank you for another Great video! Please have a great day and upcoming week.
Excellent tour, Luis.
SOUTHWEST SIDE represent! Interesting video. I had no idea Wentworth built a home at 55th and Harlem. That's the area I'm originally from. It was great learning who all of these landmarks were named after.
When people talk about Chicago… they never bring up the south west side
I agree. Besides Midway airport, I don't know anything about the southwest side.
Edit: Oh yeah, and I remember this was the area where I would take the bus to see a Chicago Fire soccer game. It was so annoying because it took me so long to get to the stadium.
@@ntatenarin ...it's going to take you even longer now that they're playing @ Soldiers Field!

Another banger man! Awesome stuff
Much appreciated 💯
Spent my first 24 years living in Clearing. Nice job!
Hi, Luis.
Nice presentation.
I'm from Southern California, but I have lots of family in Chicago and nearby suburbs. I've had a great time all the times I've visited Chicago. Fun & exciting city. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for checking in on Clearing. You did a fantastic job of covering it all!
Thanks for giving Clearing props. I worked in Clearing for a bit it's a nice neighborhood. Would like to see you visit Beverly.
It was worth the wait 🙏🙏🙏
Appreciate you bro! Glad you enjoyed 🛩
Just bought a house in clearing thanks for the tour.
That churro looks good 😊
Thank you, Luis.
Great video Luis!
Hey Louis, thanks for your great videos. Stay warm bro.
I love your video's. Do you have any of Beverly?
Just booked my flight to Chicago for the end of April and early May! I will be landing in Midway so this was right on time! First time to Chicago, so I'm pretty excited. Your videos have helped me plan my trip. Thanks!
Make sure you stop by Kuma's Korner on Belmont & Francisco. Their thing is specialty burgers, serve craft beer and play metal! Enjoy your stay!
Luis, Thanks for making this video. My husband and I grew up in this neighborhood
Excellent video! I learned so much!
It's actually the best neighborhood to raise a family and in my opinion best schools bunch of cops everywhere because they live there a lot of residential parking so you'll be able to get a parking spot very calm living
I used to live just south of clearing in Burbank, and I will say clearing is probably the nicest neighborhoods around.
loooove your videos! my partner and i are planning to move up to chicago from nola and we’re always watching your content to learn about the windy city.
side note: what type of shoes are you wearing in this video?
Thanks.......................... bro
That Pupuseria is the spot!!! My only issue with them is that the service isn't so great, so I stopped going.
I love midway so much
Shout out to my sister Lisa who lives right by there. My dog Zeus loves the airplanes 🥰 food is great there too. On Cicero.
Nike ACG with the Gore Tex AF1. Respect. ❤️

You must of gotten a car! (Please tell us the truth) All the locations are FAR apart! Especially when it’s cold out!!
I learned a lot of my neighborhood (crazy that you came by and talked about it)
