“My family and I have been wanting to try Casa Lupita for a while and we’re so happy we finally did! Everything we ordered was delicious, but the steak nachos were definitely my favorite! I would come back for those alone!

The owner, Lupita and her daughter Silvia were so friendly and welcoming and truly went above and beyond, checking on us several times to make sure we were enjoying everything. They made us feel like guests in their home rather than customers.

Do yourself a favor and check out this hidden gem! Amazing food and even better people. We will definitely be back!“

Tortas Don Cuco Mexican •
4620 Tod Avenue, East Chicago

“Tortas Don Cuco is a new place that JUST opened in the last few weeks, and I came here because its nearby my own home, and what I have to say is nothing short of great! This takeout place is small, but really packs a punch!( Of flavor, that is.) The place is mainly about Tortas, but they also serve tacos, nachos, and even wings! The kitchen staff is small, usually a one-man team by the chef, but sometimes a helper will be with him in the kitchen. I didnt have trouble ordering because I was bilingual. I will give you a heads up, they only take cash. Rarely you'll be able to pay with card. Other than that, this place is definitely one of the best places in the area. I recommend you all go try it!

Kid-friendliness: If your child is a picky eater, dont worry, this place has chicken tenders, and you can order them with fries and ketchup!“

Gorditas Lolis #4 Mexican • $

“I actually ended up at this restaurant at 9:30 AM by mistake because the restaurant I was going to go to didn’t open until 10 AM. What a lucky find. The staff was incredibly nice, the food that I had was really good, and the building itself is actually much larger on the inside that it appears from the outside. I was so happy to have stumbled into this restaurant by mistake.“

“This La Michaocana location is probably one of the best in the Chicagoland area. They don't skimp on the fruits. Their slushies are not that good tho, they are basically frozen juice that has been crushed/crumbled. They're not drinkable, it's basically shaved ice.“

“I think the place has changed ownership a few times, but I have always gone to that spot for carne en su jugo, and last night I had the best bowl of it I ever had. Everything was perfect. My boo had the pozole and it looked really good with a lot of big chunks of pork. It was a little spicier than her liking, but still good.“
