“Was taken here for the first time by my daughter, an Eastern Illinois alumni, before heading to the awesome Aikman Wildlife Adventure park, and it was DELICIOUS! Friendly staff from the start, even the head cook came out to welcome me to this lovely, Mexican cultural with a hint of Frida decorated eatery, and invited me to taste some very very delicious and authentic food! Chicago I feel reigns in great Mexican food in Illinois, but this spot, about 3 hours south of Chicago, made sure to make a point that even in rural areas of Illinois, there is great and authentic food! We shared a yummy torta de carne Al Pastor that was perfect, from the bread to the scrumptious and savory meat! We also shared two types of sopes, one of Al Pastor and the other of Asada, that wowed me because of the serving of meat to the perfect size and quality of the masa but also the great taste! Theres a presence of both Monterey and Toluca not just in the food, but the warmth of the staff and taqueria! A must do if you find yourself near Arcola, IL. #graciastotales“
