Authentic Mexican food alert! I've eaten here twice and both times the food was equally delicious. The tamales and tacos are awesome!! My husband and I are both picky about Mexican food (most restaurants are too "Americanized" for our taste) but this is fresh, authentic, and oh so good! This will be our go-to for Mexican food in the area from now on.

Quaint atmosphere and the service was good. I had the chicken tamale, albondigas soup, and a slice of flan. The recommended salsa for the soup helped introduce more flavor, but makes it a bit spicy. Flan was exceptional and reminded me of home

Cold food for All! I mean the cheese had not a chance in hell to melt on the cold hard refried beans. Cold rice a roni too. My Son had the 3 carne asada tacos. He chewed and chewed and chewed to no avail. I tried it. Cold cow.. awful ambiance to boot. And they offered no discount when we very kindly said we couldn’t eat it. Beware.

The meat was terrible it was like it had just been microwaved also even if it was hot it was nothing but gristle me moms food was still cold like out of the fridge cold the refried beans didn’t have a bit of hotness in it!!! Terrible don’t go there.

What a wonderful restaurant that flies under the radar! First, you can very easily drive right by it without seeing it since there are no exterior ornamentation or colors that easily identify the place as Mexican. It looks more like an American cafe. Second, the name. "Food Yamilet" doesn't exactly ring any Hispanic bells. But don't drive by it! Once you're inside the clean and brightly lit place, you're in for a treat. We arrived at 5 pm for dinner and quickly realized that this is a fresh, scratch-made foods kind of place so don't be disappointed if they may be out of a few items on the menu. Plan on having a secondary choice if necessary. Personally, I'd rather have that than just opening up another can from Gordon's food service! Also, don't expect any complimentary chips and salsa. I believe the owner doesn't want to throw out wasted food at the end of the day so if you really want chips and salsa you have two options. $8 for the fresh legit ones or they have separately bagged Doritos, sun chips, etc for $1.50 per bag. Clever. I ordered one cheese and jalapeno tamale and one pork tamale with a side of rice and beans. They were out of the mole tamale and green sauce so I asked if they had a "hot sauce" and they did. They brought it out in a little bowl along with the red sauce on the tamales. If you like heat, go for the hot sauce! My wife had the Sopa De Albóndigas (meatball soup). Both of our meals were incredible, flavorful and filling. There aren't a lot of tables inside so go early or plan on waiting. The bathroom was super clean and the waitress was great. The owner was so sweet. She came out to ask how we liked the food and we raved - which put a big smile on her face. Highly, highly recommended for food made with love.

Awesome little traditional Mexican restaurant. Only about 8 tables. Family style Mexican food. They still seem to be learning and improving how they run and operate so I'm looking forward to coming back for that 5th star.
