"First of all this place isn't exactly in Waukegan, it's in nearby Park City right by the trailer courts main entrance off of rts 41 & 120. Funny thing about is that, is in Waukegan about 1 mile east of here, off of Lewis ave are at least 30 Taquerias, Mex..."

"With the closing of the world-renowned Big Burrito and mysterious disappearance of its owner Rick a few years back, El Famous captured the title of most popular far North Side burrito joint. Though El Famous is only famous to neighborhood residents and ar..."

"Rumor has it that a person can eat two of the football-size burritos if they are really hungry. is pretty much located at the midpoint between Northwestern University and Loyola University Chicago, so the clientele includes a lot of college students...."
