Since the mid-1990s, Jaimito's Burritos has been a Clybourn corridor standby for oversized burritos, tostadas, and late-night taco plates served into the early morning hours. The counter-service room is bare-bones, but portions, pricing, and post-midnight hours keep it in heavy rotation for students and service-industry regulars.
Must-Try Dishes: Steak Burrito, Ground Beef Tostadas, Al Pastor Tacos
