If you don't mind driving, some of the most famous Aztec pyramids are just over two hours from the city. There are plenty of direct daily flights to take you from Chicago to Mexico City in around four hours.
Street food may be popular in Chicago, but nowhere compares to Mexico City in that regard. There's inexpensive and delicious Mexican food available on almost every corner, just make sure you let the vendor know if you don't want it too spicy. The city is full of impressive museums, and if you're looking for an exciting live show, check out Mexican wrestling, known as Lucha libre, at Arena Mexico.
