  • Taquería Chingón Has a New Home in Fulton Market

    Taquería Chingón´s chef Marcos Ascencio

    Something old, something new, and something good is happening in Fulton Market.

    Taquería Chingón has a new home. After shuttering their Bucktown location in 2024, they’ve taken over the former home of Cemitas Puebla at 817 W. Fulton Market,  and if that name rings a bell, it should.

    In a gesture equal parts homage and culinary flex, Chingón has added cemitas to its taco menu. For the uninitiated, a cemita isn’t just a sandwich. It’s Puebla on a bun — a sesame-crusted roll, usually stuffed with pulled meat, stacked high with avocado, smoky chipotle, cheese and a wild tangle of the earthy, fragrant papalo (if you’re lucky). It’s crunchy, creamy, spicy. Chingón.

    The eatery’s take comes with a chicken milanesa (a breaded and fried chicken cutlet). The homage to Puebla doesn’t end there. The menu features a taco árabe made with lamb and served on a flour tortilla, a nod to Puebla’s Lebanese culinary influence.

    Other highlights include an assortment of tortas, such as a steak torta and a torta ahogada — a dish that’s been showing up on more Chicago menus lately. Chingón’s version adds a twist: melted raclette.

    The new space is spacious, bright and built to feed a city. A massive kitchen anchors the restaurant, giving the team room to push boundaries and — importantly — cater. And with a kitchen like that, it’s not hard to imagine them feeding everything from art parties to tech launch lunches.

    Taquería Chingón still keeps its soul intact, but there’s a certain swagger to this next chapter — like they know they’ve earned the right to stretch their legs.

    We were there on opening day, the line was out the door, and the message was clear: Chingón’s not just back — they’re just getting started.
