About this spot
El Heredero delivers authentic Oaxacan flavors that feel miles away from the typical Chicago taco scene, starting with their handmade tortillas and slow-cooked meats. The menu shines when you order the mole negro over chicken or try the cochinita pibil, which is marinated for days to achieve deep, smoky sweetness. Locals flock here in Logan Square for its unpretentious vibe where the food speaks louder than any marketing.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order a side of rice and beans to balance the rich, dark sauces on your tacos.
- Bring cash or have a digital wallet ready as this spot often runs out of change for large bills.
- Save room for the fresh fruit salad, which cuts through the heaviness of the fried pork dishes.
