Whether it’s five degrees or 50, there always seems to be a line of takeout bags on Tomate Fresh Kitchen’s windowsill.

That’s no surprise, considering the loyalty and trust that the Noyes Street location has cultivated from its customers. Since 2013, the takeout-only kitchen has offered a wide array of Latin street food, from gorditas to 18 different types of tacos. Service is fast, friendly and perhaps most importantly, cheap –– or at least as cheap as Evanston gets.

The kitchen is also extremely easy to get to, just a ten-minute walk from the Technological Institute and mere steps away from the Noyes CTA Station.

Tomate is also optimally located. After grabbing a burrito, stop by the always-busy Coffee Lab for an Ube Latte, or go across the street to the Noyes Cultural Arts Center for a performance.

Whether you’re taking a dozen different empanadas back to your dorm or devouring the order as soon as you receive it, Tomate is sure to satisfy.
