      It’s not the same everywhere. Chicago has one of the biggest restaurant scenes in the country and there aren’t any Native American restaurants. There are a few Mexican restaurants that do one or two traditional dishes, but that’s it.

        I recently dined at a place in Belvedere called Taqueria El Molcajete that was really good and was to the best of my knowledge quite authentic. They specify iAmerican vs Mexican style tacos (lettuce cheese and tomato vs cilantro and onion) in the taco section, and brought out a variety of homemade salsas with the complimentary homemade chips

          You probably have more native folks than some regions. Columbus Ohio is a significant enough culinary city, but not only are there no reservations here in ohio, of the five states we border only Michigan has any. Illinois also doesn’t have any. Here’s a map and you can see the reason for the disparities clearly on it. Any Native American cuisine in this region would be a personal project of someone’s.

            I’m not any closer to any reservations then so it probably was someone’s passion project
