Not sure why LaPlacita Grocery store is not on list. Best Tacos around and you can also grab needed grocery items.

Fair enough, Margie. I've only eaten in at Carniceria La Placita de Isabel, however, I can see the take-out focus and business, too. I have added them to this Best Take-Out Restaurant category.

Thanks for your feedback and insight! Cheers!

We need Chop Suey City on the list :)

A worthy restaurant! But outside of our coverage and contest area of the McKinley Park neighborhood. (However, if we can make the McKinley Park News work, we'd like to have a Brighton Park News, too.) Thanks for your feedback!
