La Victoria

La Victoria is a big, boozy Mexican spot in Logan Square with food that’s better than you might expect from a place decorated with neon cursive and plant walls. The menu has tacos,tlayudas, andentrees like mariscos veracruzana that’s not shy with the spice. Anything with the handmade corn tortillas (like the Mexico-city style quesadillas filled with lamb birria) will be reliably good. The sprawling space has a giant bar, back patio, and an angled mirror above the tortilla station so you can watch the action. Service is friendly but hit-or-miss, which is to be expected for a quasi-party restaurant that’s good for fun brunches and loud dinners full of margaritas.
