I wouldn't recommend Authentico to you. It's a nicer, upscale restaurant with a large outdoor area (we sat inside). The tacos were very good. But the salsas were bland and the "spicy" guacamole, while good, was not spicy at all. Biggest disappointment was the margaritas. Even though they appeared to be hand-crafted from the menu descriptions, they tasted like they were made with canned limeade. I think if we went again it would be a warm summer day where we can sit outside and eat tacos or enchiladas for lunch...and no margaritas. But I'm still determined to find at least one place in the north suburbs that compares to the many good places we could go when we were in the city - and is open for a nice sit down dinner.

Rainy day off and on here, so probably homemade pizza tonight. Tomorrow looks nice enough to grill, so I'll be marinating a flank steak in the morning!
We are planning our dinners for the week (which I hate), as we leave for our almost-exactly-one-year-delayed Mexico vacation next week and don't want a bunch of stuff sitting in the refrigerator. First time on a plane in around 15 months I think.
