Maybe fresher when direct? Still, probably not worth the trouble. I love the restaurant idea, may have to try that option some time.
I suspect other cities aren't fortunate enough to have local producers like El Milagro. They are the gold standard in my mind and I think they turn over really quickly in supermarkets, so I don't ever worry about them not being fresh enough. But I'm always bummed when I go to the store and they only have national brands available that feel like cardboard. No thank you!
BTW, just realized El Milagro had a couple taquerias in Little Village and Pilsen....I may need to check one out.
