Rather than putting a ton of effort into an outing and then just hitting one spot, why not extend the adventure? This week, we’re pairing a White Sox game with some quality Mexican grub. Taco ’bout hitting it out of the park!

Peanuts and Cracker Jacks can be filling, but make sure to save room for some quality Mexican food before or after the game. This hole-in-the-wall joint is just blocks from the stadium and serves up some seriously delicious tacos, burritos and tortas. The best part? You can easily fuel up for under $20 AND it’s BYOB. Order up a couple steak tacos ($2.10 each) or fill up on a Cubana torta ($5.99), made with ham, bacon, breaded steak, sausage and American cheese. You’re sure to find something you’ll love on the menu.
