The fact that you can get tamales from a restaurant and they are wonderful is just mind blowing. I love this place.

Not from Illinois, otherwise I'd be here more often. This spot was so good. I had the sopes con pollo Ala Mexicana. Chicken was so good! I wish I could come back more often!

The reviews made me doubt about whether to try the food or not, but honestly it was worth it. I had ordered flautas with chicken, tamales both red and green, they were clearly the BEST I've ever tried. The food I tried tasted like the ones I grew up with, the waiting and money was worth all the food & it was in fact the cheapest ever. ❤️ (I honestly don't get why they are saying that the tamales are dry and not at temperature at all when I literary burned myself ??)Kid-friendliness: The waitress was patient whenever the kids where doubing about what to order, he gave the food recommendations, the portions that were served were PERFECT for kids.
Excellent tamales. We got them to go. Service was quick and friendly. There's also a dine in option in the small dining room. No frills, just good tamales for about $2.50 each

definitely super dissatisfied prices are ridiculous , i paid 38 dollars for 4 handmade quesadillas and 1 non sopenot to say the masa was dry , the tinga super salty the sope was not even a sope it was a round tortilla super dry first bite was all i need it , super hardi can tell the cook is someone different when we picked up our order the order was not ready they asked my husband what kind of ingredients he wanted they looked super lost definitely not coming back tothis place again !

It's the best tamales (esp the cheese and pepper and chicken ones for me) in Waukegan and one of the best mole enchilidas I ever had. Very highly recommend - esp their chicken dishes be it tamales or enchilidas. My gf loves their green chicken tamales and chorizo and eggs

They need to practice better higiene. Was charged for my order, they started cooking it without washing hands. Was not too happy about that.

The steak tacos, tamales, guacamole, salsas, all made fresh authentic Mexican food. They sell and ship tamales...look at photo, that's nothin'!

Tamales are pretty damn good. Also had the Huevos Mexicanas good portion size and filling. Menudo was flavourful but notice it was not like the other menudos I have had with pozole... they serve it with no bread. So above all I would go again for tamales and plates but going to not order the menudo next time. Also good variety on the Mexican drinks in a bottle.
