Great report so far. Topo sometimes is Ms Alex's end-of-finals-week reward.
I'm looking forward to the rest. Living as close to Chicago as we do, we've been to our share of Mexican restaurants there, but I'm curious about which ones you've chosen.
Any chance you're going to Mi Tokaya Antojeria? Chilam Balam? Tzuko? Birrieria Zarogoza? Near Midway, I know, but still. (Patience, Alex, patience...)
