If you can’t decide between khao soi and a cheeseburger, allow us to introduce you to Taurus Ox. This little corner spot on Madison serves great Laotian food, from pork belly stir-fries to rice noodles with peanut and egg. As an all-day, counter-service operation, this place is an excellent choice for a great takeout lunch or casual dinner. Though, we have to give an edge to dinner - that’s the only time you can get the delicious double smash burger with provolone, homemade bacon, taro stem, cilantro, and jeaw bong mayo (made with a spicy pork condiment). The Laotian food here’s awesome, but you should come here the next time you want an incredible burger.
