Default Senior CHA Housing?

How safe are areas around Senior CHA housing developments? I suspicion the children and grandchildren of the seniors may be living with them. This can lead to all kinds of other problems.

What have others seen with Senior CHA Developments?

Pasadita has good steak taco's, but the best chorizo is for sure at Traspasada #2 on Asland and Chicago's NE side just North of Rockstar Dogs. Ive never met anyone that didnt like their Chorizo Chimichanga.

They have a wicked chile relleno taco too if you're vegetarian.

Yeah their carne's not as good as pasadita but that's the beauty of them both being about .25 miles apart

La Pasadita is bull****, as it is not the best taco in town. I live in Wicker Park and can go their any time, but to me the best bargain tacos are from Taco Burrito Place on Fullerton and Pulaski across the Walgreens. $4.10 for 2 tacos with 16 oz orchata. You can have steak, pork, or chicken tacos. And they come with cheese, sour cream, and maybe some shredded lettuce and tomato? - It's been a long time since I've been there living in Houston.

La Pasidita - just a plain steak marinated taco with cilantro and shell - that's is nothing fancy! They have no right to brag that they are the best taco in town!

Wow, I'm thinking maybe you get a little too emotionally involved with your tacos? Not to mention you seem kind of confused about where you live -- is it Wicker Park, or is it Houston?

By the way, carne asada tacos are traditionally served with onions and cilantro only, and maybe with guac. Putting all kinds of other crap on them like cheese and lettuce and tomatoes and sour cream is an American thing. So it's kind of ironic that you consider La Pasadita's version to be "bull****" when they are in fact the real deal because you prefer the Americanized version instead.

I live at Ashland and Thomas and try to avoid La Pasadita during regular meal hours...on the other hand...while walking home after being over-served, the steak burritos are fantastic!

Yeah, I know... I prefer the Americanized Taco, except Taco Bell. So that's why I don't consider La Pasidita the best taco in town, even if they are authentic. Taco Burrito Place is a grease pit with other good stuff on their menu, and is one of my favorite Chicago restaurants.

My permanent home is Wicker Park - parent's house. Temporarily living in Houston because this is a nice place to live also with better paying jobs.

Have a great weekend!
It puts you in West Town-the neighborhood.
