Yvolina's Tamales is a hidden gem that serves delicious homemade tamales made with soft and flavorful masa. The restaurant is known for its traditional Oaxacan style, offering generous portions of tamales. The pork tamale dinner with red mole sauce remains a favorite, featuring tender pork and a rich, smoky flavor. The chicken tamale with green mole sauce is also a hit, praised for its bright and citrusy taste. Customers have enjoyed the black beans with cheese tamale dinner and pastor chorizo, all noted for being fresh and tasty. Vegan options are available, including vegan tamales with the mole dinner and quinoa fillings, made without pork. Customers enjoy friendly service, a clean and inviting atmosphere, and a variety of choices such as spicy chipotle chicken tamales. The tamales come wrapped in banana leaves, which is more common in southern and coastal parts of Mexico and Central America, offering a unique taste experience. Yvolina's Tamales also offers guacamole, fresh juices, and even sells jars of their mole. With options for meat, vegetarian, and vegan tamales, this restaurant is a must-visit for tamale lovers in Chicago.
