In this case, cheap is tasteful ...
1. Handlebar (Bucktown/Wicker Park) - Yeah, this is a bike messenger hangout, but you can put up with it for the gouda mac ‘n’ cheese.
2. Café el Tapatio (Roscoe Village) - Lakeview’s hidden Mexican gem offers up some killer enchiladas and margaritas.
3. Bongo Room (Bucktown/Wicker Park) - You might experience a long wait, but you might also experience breakfast food you’d slap your mother to get more of.
