“Pork nachos, pastelillos... excellent! Just wish they provided 2 sour creams for a whole plate of nachos or let you know they provide one, would you like to purchase a second one. But enjoyed our food. This is as close you can get to the original Latin Lounge that was in E.C. almost 40 years ago. Great job!“

Tortas Don Cuco Mexican •
4620 Tod Ave, 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!“

“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.“
