Serious Eats tries all the tacos at La Chaparrita. What is this magical place? Well...
La Chaparrita is a tiny tacqueria/grocery store with absolutely amazing food in the Chicago neighborhood Little Village.
Steve Dolinsky (ABC7's Hungry Hound--Chicagoans will recognize him as the guy who has his picture hanging in all of my favorite restaurants) likes La Chaparrita.
LTH Forum likes La Chaparrita.
The Chicago Reader likes La Chaparrita.
For an added bonus, there's a pretty extensive (given the size of the place) Santa Muerte altar to the side of the dining area kept by the owner Angelina.

Longaniza ($1.75)
Think of this as La Chaparrita's interpretation of chorizo
Uh, no. Longaniza is Longaniza, not chorizo.
The cecina is salty and beefy, with a firm but pleasing texture.
Yes, its dried, salted beef. So it is salty and beefy.
The tacos look delicious. I am sure they're good but what inane commentary.

I get where you're coming from, hobo gitano de queretaro, (New Yorkers are always telling us Angelenos what's great or awful about Los Angeles, for example), but you know, taqueria tacos filled with tongue or brain or tripe may in fact be exotic fare for lots of people in Chicago (or anywhere), and they may need a little encouragement to help them broaden their horizons.

I realize a lot of the chatter on Serious Eats is dumb, but the pictures are SO PRETTY, and before La Chaparrita came out with an English menu, it was helpful for me to be able to know definitively which things were made out of brains and which weren't.

You know the concept of Pizza had to be very carefully and patiently explained to Anglo-American audiences in the 50s, right? There are some hilarious back and forth etiquette arguments over weather or not it should be eaten with a knife and fork (and of course, calling it an open-faced pie in the states in order to contextualize it).

He's off at Yale getting drunk rather than attending classes, and the beautiful immigrant, daughter-of-the-restaurant-owners Angelina is waiting his table, trying to sober him up and offers him free pizza because young Warren Beatty is the hot, and he's all "Pizza? What's that?" I know it's set in the late 1920s, but it cracks me up all the same.
Re-rail: La Chaparrita is awesome. If you go, also try the guarapo de piña... though it's apparently an acquired taste too.

It's really interesting that with all those types of tacos, out of the 12 listed in the article, I only see 4 or so with any regularity in my area (basically 15 miles north of Mexico). Carne asada and al pastor are pretty standard things, and every once in a while you'll see lengua or cabeza, but I don't think I've ever seen any of those other things (there might be places in town that do tripa, since they usually serve that anyway in menudo). But then it's also really odd what they don't have at La Chaparrita - no chicken or carnitas? I can understand the lack of fish and shrimp tacos, though.

I noticed that too and it struck me as a good sign. Their menu is in line with what you would see in Mexico, at a DF taqueria for example.
Carnitas is not something to attempt unless you have a big copper pot and lots of time. Otherwise you're just passing off stewed pork as carnitas which is what most people have (sadly) ever had.

Looks amazing although usually the best taco places in Mexico and beyond focus on one regional speciality with various variations and additions. Not saying it can't be done, but it's really hard to make lots of different types of tacos well.

Depends whether you know the place. If walking into an inexpensive eat-it-and-beat-it cold, I find it safe to suppose that the pig or cow will be largely or entirely gristly bits that your teeth bounce off of and if you manage to chew it you'll be clawing it out of your teeth for the rest of the day. The chicken is generally a lot more reliable for dipping your toe in the water without the advice of an experienced customer to guide you. If it's awesome in every other respect -- seasoning, quality, properly cooked with some flavor left in it -- you can venture the pig or cow the next time.

No, one of the reasons I tend to avoid taco shop chicken is that a long time ago I got a chicken burrito that was all skin, fat, and tendon with hardly any actual chicken meat.

Also oh man I got all excited to see "longaniza" on the menu because Guatemalan longaniza is the best goddamn thing in the world — these badass chubby little coarse-ground fresh pork sausages made with garlic, mint and oregano. No paprika, no chile powder, no creepy bright-orange grease, just delicious pig and herbs. Any place in the US that wants to sell me a couple of those and a stack of tortillas and some grilled green onions, I am there.
But apparently Mexican longaniza is some totally different kinda-linguiçoid/kinda-chorizular thing? Damn. Fucking vagaries of transnational sausage lexicography, all getting my hopes up and shit.

I too mourn the loss of cochinita pibil.
A few years ago, a coworker discovered an extraordinarily authentic Mexican restaurant, and we started going there for tortas at least once a week. Cochinita pibil, which I'd never heard of before, quickly became my favorite.
I occasionally was able to convince my family to go there with me, but then one day I noticed my daughter quietly picking the carne asada out of her meal. This wasn't a huge surprise, because she's semi-vegetarian, so I just rolled my eyes. Then I tried one of the bits, and it was so rubbery that it was inedible. I tried another one, and it was the same. (Restaurant owners: take note) I never went back again, and eventually they closed.
To expand on what George_Spiggott said, there's more difference between good and bad beef than between good and bad chicken.

You know the concept of Pizza had to be very carefully and patiently explained to Anglo-American audiences in the 50s, right?
That reminds me of one my favorite Canadian videos of all time ... a clip from the CBC 1957 Homemakers Audition where she introduces "PIZZA PIE"... you just gotta love that vowel raising, the world would be a better place if more people spoke like that.
I used to think I was the shit when it came to authentic Mexican food because I grew up in Arizona.
I know what you're saying ... I grew up in a southern New Mexican town not 60 miles from the Mexican border... yet for some reason, most of our Mexican food was more similar to Tex Mex than the stuff you could have just south of the border. (Not that there's anything wrong with Tex Mex lest the ANTI-AUTHENTICITY police come after me...)
My personal favorite for tacos in Manhattan is the stand on the corner of Avenue A and Second Street. Better than any of the brick and mortar taco restaurants I have tried in the area. The one all the Chowhounders and Serious Eaters are crazy about is out in Queens though, I think called Taqueria Coatzingo, and there is another one in the Bronx which has gotten a lot of coverage.
