About Record Grill

Lito's Taco And Empanada House is a compact, no-frills spot in Chicago that leans confidently into what it does best-serving up bold, satisfying tacos and an impressive range of empanadas. From the moment you discover it, especially if you’re browsing for a quick delivery option, it stands out for its affordability, with tacos priced low enough to make ordering a variety feel easy. What really elevates the experience, though, is the flavor: the food arrives accompanied by an abundance of sauces, each adding its own kick, from tangy to seriously spicy, making every bite customizable.

The empanadas are clearly the highlight here. They’re known for their light, flaky crust that gives way to fillings that range from savory to sweet. Options like barbecue chicken and veggie are especially popular for their rich, well-balanced flavors, while more adventurous combinations-like steak with raisins-bring a sweeter twist that may not appeal to everyone but adds variety to the menu. On the sweeter side, choices such as Nutella with banana offer a dessert-like indulgence, while spinach with cream cheese provides a creamy, comforting alternative.

The menu itself is refreshingly focused, essentially centering on empanadas with minimal extras beyond bottled drinks, which reinforces the sense that this is a place dedicated to perfecting a specialty rather than spreading itself thin. Everything is prepared fresh, making it ideal for a quick bite that doesn’t sacrifice quality. Whether you’re stopping by in person or ordering in, the combination of affordability, bold flavors, and a wide selection of empanada fillings makes it easy to keep coming back to explore more of what’s on offer.
