East Chicago Lunch Options

Recommended Posts

Visitors to the East Chicago semi state who are not familiar with the area may be looking for a decent place to catch lunch nearby. There are some fast food places in the area, McDonald's south of school on Indianapolis blvd. I believe there are some good places to Google for sure. El Taco Real and Casa Blanca (Chicago ave & Indianapolis blvd)in East Chicago Come to mind for good Mexican food. The Cavalier Inn on Gostlin street is nearby in North Hammond off of Calumet has excellent Polish food. I'm sure our posters can easily contribute here to add their favorite establishments. Easily, I believe nearby Whiting has a wide variety of places available here in this link

El Ranchero for authentic mexican cuisine in EC on Main St, Zel's for beef or chili cheese fries in EC on Columbus Dr,  Aurelio's Pizza in Hammond just off tollway exit at Calumet Ave, or in Whiting just north of EC Beggars Pizza  or Center Lounge on 119th St.

Taco Real is for pork lovers & Casa Blanca would be for Carne lovers.

I love them both!!!

growing up in the region and now living down in the bland food area of Indianapolis.................You region rats are so lucky to have all those lunch/food choice options !!!  Taco real & Casa Blanca are the best and Zel's Roast beefs and the chili cheese fries are something dreams are made of for people down here.  The other legit place to visit if you have time is Munster Gyro's.  Enjoy the wrestling and the lunch breaks people you are truly the lucky one's !!!

Couple of tips for you out of towners...

 

Don't stop to ask for directions and don't come to a complete stop at red lights and stop signs!

Ya. Out of towners a little uncomfortable with the area, May want to take the 10-15 minute drive to Munster, Highland, or Griffith.

So you don't get out much?  ;)

Not really, but when I do......

Let me just pull over and ask the nice gentleman directions to the East Chicago Semi-state.

in this area the "Uber drivers" are not for hire and have more than likely just "borrowed" the car they are driving.  So trying to get into the car driving at a high rate of speed "with a police escort" may be a little tricky but feel free.  Say hello to the following people most likely driving that car...........Leon Dinkins, Victor Cruz, or Marcia Crowder, they are lovely people and tour guides of the area.

Are there any Shark's nearby for various chicken parts?

There's a new Harolds Chicken Shack south on Indianapolis just over the big bridge in Hammond. Usually can't go wrong buying chicken or bbq from place with the bullet proof serving window. Harolds is famous in Chicago making the move into Indiana now.
