Best Restaurants in West Side

271 restaurants analyzed · Chicago

The West Side covers some of Chicago's most interesting food neighborhoods, from Wicker Park and Logan Square's restaurant-bar scene to Pilsen's Mexican heritage corridor and Humboldt Park's Puerto Rican cooking. Latin American cuisines lead the count, but New American and Italian-American places are strong too. Prices are mostly moderate, and the dining here feels less polished and more rooted than the North Side.
