Raspados are from several parts of Mexico and I was surprised when Dolinsky told me he’d never seen them before. (It makes sense. Who wants a shaved ice when they’re walking around Chicago in January?) Everyone here has their favorite shop, so I’m not gonna preach .
But I will say, I’m pretty addicted to the strawberry one at Michoacán Taquería Raspados, 3235 N. Flowing Wells Road. It sells tostilocos too, but Dolinsky was familiar with the bulging bags of sticky chips. In Chicago, they call them “Walking Tacos.”
