What people say, in short
Taco Sublime's smash burger inside Marz in Bridgeport receives strong praise, including repeat visits and comparisons with Chicago's best. The dissent is about execution: one diner found the center dry, and another liked the lacy appearance but found the flavor flat and underseasoned. Those reservations temper the enthusiasm rather than disappearing behind the brewery's reputation.
