3235 N. Flowing Wells Road
Raspados really are from several parts of Mexico, but I was surprised when my pal Steve told me he'd never seen them before. (I mean, it makes sense. Who wants a shaved ice when they're walking around Chicago in January?) Everyone here has their favorite shop, so I'm not gonna preach to you. But I will say, I'm pretty addicted to the strawberry one at Michoacán Taquería Raspados, 3235 N. Flowing Wells Road. They sell Tostilocos too, but Steve was well familiar with the bulging bags of sticky chips. In Chicago, they call them "Walking Tacos."
