After a several month hiatus, The Taco Salad Tour resumed a couple weeks ago. My The Johngy "OR ELSE" Podcast partner Tommy Else and I ventured to Alfie's in Glen Ellyn, Illinois.
While I do not usually seek out taco salads, it is one of Tommy's favorite dishes and I am always willing to join an adventure. The the Taco Salad Tour was born. It has taken us to about six spots already, including my nearby staple The Village Inn in Skokie. Tommy gave their taco salad a B, lagging behind his favorite spot near his home.
Another longtime favorite of his, Tommy was delightfully surprised to see a taco salad appear on the menu at Alfie's. The full results can be found at The Johngy "OR ELSE" Podcast - Ep. 80: "Taco Salad Tour and a Twisted Colon." The two title subjects are not connected.
In a short spoiler, we both gave a high rating to Alfie's taco salad. Tommy admitted a slight misstep in not using their sauce, but he corrected that in a later visit (without me, which raised my ire).
If you're in the Chicago area and you know of a great taco salad or if you own a restaurant with one, let us know and we will give it a try.
Tommy and me in Glen Ellyn, IL-April 2025.
