If you're craving authentic Guatemalan flavors, *La Tacita de Plata* is an absolute gem! Nestled in Elgin, this cozy restaurant serves up some of the most delicious and comforting dishes I’ve ever tried. As a huge fan of tamales, I can confidently say their *Chuchito tamale* is my all-time favorite! The perfect blend of masa, savory fillings, and that signature Guatemalan touch—it’s pure comfort in every bite.
But don’t stop there! Their *Pipian plate* is another must-try. Rich, flavorful, and beautifully spiced, it’s a dish that truly celebrates the heart of Guatemalan cuisine. Every bite feels like a warm hug from Central America.
And let’s not forget the amazing service! A big shoutout to Zavala for making our dining experience so welcoming and memorable. Their kindness and attention to detail truly added to the joy of the meal.
If you’re a fan of ethnic food or just looking to try something new, *La Tacita de Plata* is the place to be. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you! 💛

Was craving pupusas and decided to try this place based on the reviews, so I went 20 minutes out of my way. I waited in line for a long time while they cashed out one customer and took several phone calls. By that time my lunch hour was almost over. Went across the street and got tacos instead.

Small place but delicious Guatemalan food did not disappoint very happy to find a place near by no bathrooms it's in a small corner plaza and parking is limited but definitely give this place a try if you are in the area very satisfying awesome staff
This is my second time ordering from here through DoorDash, and they have the best pupusas I've ever had! Their costillas de puerco en salsa are also amazing. I’m planning to visit the restaurant in person soon so I can try their drinks.
