Tacos with Friends

Tacos with Friends is Cariño’s late-night charity taco omakase series. For one night, Chef Norman Fenton cooks alongside a guest chef at our counter in Uptown, Chicago, and the proceeds go to a charity partner. Our June 2026 edition benefited Latinos Progresando.

It’s a special edition of our regular Taco Omakase: eight courses after dark, built on Cariño’s in-house masa program, with drinks included.
