Review of Bridgeport Restaurants (to the West of IIT)
West by bus: taking the 35th bus west, past the ballpark to Halstead, are a few diners (the Ramova Grill and Bridgeport Restaurant), hot dog joints, and a good taqueria (La Mexicana). Additional Bridgeport restaurants, like Healthy Food Lithuanian and Mitchell's Tap, are to the north of 35th on Halstead.
