There are many really, Pilsen is the one that is fighting the hardest against gentrification and they have a very active community, mostly Mexican. Humboldt Park is very Latin as well, Mexican/Puerto Rican. Albany Park is another neighborhood with a large Mexican population/business owners but the sheer number of new construction condos thrown up along Montrose leads me to believe that it's only a matter of time before they are priced out and forced west.

Although not technically in Chicago, Cicero would certainly qualify as well.
