Excellent food, years of shopping there and the taste never changes.
Very good to visit as a family with friends or order takeout, the carnitas tacos and the roast beef cakes 🌮👌 10/10

Terrible service from the waitress and apart from that they give the sauces that are left over from other tables 🤢🤮

I saw the very mixed reviews on El Tenampa and wanted to try for myself. Unfortunately, here I am with a mixed review. Overall the experience was good, the chilaquiles were spicy but incredibly delicious, the place is small but cozy. However, we also ordered the gorditas and those were incredibly greasy. I’m Mexican, I know gorditas are not exactly healthy food, but ours were soaked in oil. Having said that, I will definitely go back to try other menu items because the variety is great and the seasoning is on point!

Very slow ? half an hour to deliver my order ?
Small place, I have been looking for chilaquiles for a while, and this place had them for breakfast. I’ll will check it out again for other menu items.

There’s nothing I have not tried from this restaurant that’s ever left me upset. The food here is the best. There’s no other Mexican restaurant I recommend in Plainfield that tops this location. I’ve introduced several friends here and they always go back. The tacos, tortas de milanesa (breaded chicken), chicken flautas, tosatadas de tinga, the sopes and the horchata are my top favorites.At times, they do run out of items because of the demand and they are a small restaurant so they only have about 4-5 tables. I would love to see them expand again! The customer service is honestly great. It’s always women running the register and doing the cooking, I truly respect and admire that. I hope they gain more recognition and continue to grow.Can’t wait to order soon !
Parking: Parking lot is in the back of the building and it’s shared between all buildings, there’s also parking on the street up front. Free parking on Sundays

In search of good Mexican food, I found this restaurant and I honestly can't complain. The coffee was very delicious. We ordered huaraches with roast beef, Milanese cakes and a beef belly broth (a little cold but it didn't matter). Good service that day, a young person served us. The following week we decided to return but this time a lady attended us, we asked for our order and a coffee (good flavor but it was not very hot at the time so I didn't think it was necessary to say anything) when our order arrived (gorditas de chicharrón and huaraches) I asked her kindly to the lady for utensils and she reluctantly gave me only one person when I asked for another one she told me "you guys aren't Mexicans" this answer seemed out of place to me. We honestly didn't say anything to avoid causing problems. Because of this bad comment we will not return.
