WICKER PARK — Crowds of taco lovers started their Cinco de Mayo festivities early on Thursday and lined up to be among the first to try Big Star's new breakfast tacos for free.
The new tacos, made in collaboration with neighboring Dove's Luncheonette, will be sold at Big Star's to-go window on weekends beginning this weekend.
By 9:30 a.m, the line was about 50 people deep but moved quickly.
The $3-$4 tacos will be available at Big Star's to-go window, located at 1531 N. Damen Ave., 9-11 a.m. Fridays to Sundays.
Here's a look at the tacos, served on housemade flour tortillas:
• Migas Taco: tortilla chips with salsa, eggs, pickled red onion and queso fresco for $3
• Huevos con Carne Taco: grilled steak, peppers and onion with eggs and spicy tomato salsa for $4
• Chorizo Verde Taco: crispy potatoes with green chorizo and eggs for $3
Big Star also sells Dark Matter Coffee for $2 and fresh squeezed orange juice for $4.
Blu gets his first waiting in a long line for free food experience, thanks @BigStarChicago #wickerpark pic.twitter.com/tFdKsvttGg
