cars parked in front of a restaurant

My husband and I were looking for frozen yogurt, and we came across La Michoacana. When we walked in, we were greeted by bright, warm colors. There were no menus available. There were three screens above the service area that were blank, so I'm guessing this is where the menus normally are. After checking out the flavors, I got two scoops of ice cream in a waffle cone. I got the chocolate chip and the mint chocolate chip ice cream flavors. These were the biggest ice cream scoops I have ever seen. They easily gave me six regular scoops of ice cream. The flavors were very rich and sweet, exactly what I was looking for. You get a value for your money. The parking lot is a pain to try and navigate. There is not enough parking for all of the businesses. When we left, we were blocked in by someone double parking to use the convenience store. The food and service are pretty good, and La Michocana comes highly recommended.

Actually, this is a small chain store through running throughout Illinois. I always enjoy their popsicles and specialty dessert. Try out the corn with the mayonnaise and spice since that is fantastic tasting. Enjoy some chips with cheese as well. It's worth your time to pay this place a visit and go with a friend. The wait to be served is worth it so patiently wait your turn since this is your downside. Go on a weekday so you will be served quickly.

I always visit this store. The food never disappoints. It's always clean. The customer service is always nice. I have never had a complaint about this place.

We are so glad we stopped by on our way back from dinner. We stopped in at 8:30pm and there were about 5 customers ahead of us. With a couple workers and most orders made fresh, you can expect to wait in line as we did for about 20 minutes. Hubby got the yogurt ($3.99) mixed with fresh fruit pieces and sprinkled with a mixture of granola, raisins and coconut flakes. This is so good, I would definitely get it again. Next time, I will ask for more yogurt as I felt the ratio of yogurt to fruit favored the fruit. My youngest got a couple scoops of mango ice cream ($1.99). That has to be the most delicious, freshest mango ice cream I've ever had. My oldest got bubble gum flavored paleta de agua ($1.89). I had the mango paleta de agua with the tamarind stick ($1.89). The worker we talked to said they make all their ice creams and yogurt in house.

The kiwi-strawberry popsicles are amazing. This is THE place to stop on a hot day. Cheerful and delicious. Yay!!

Andy's is TOP TIER! Nothing beats it for me. I just vibe with a frozen custard over ice cream or…read moresoft serve. With that being said, I have perfected my order: I do a build your own JackHammer with Oreos and Double Peanut Butter - trust!

This is a great Andy's location. Easily accessible right off Rand Road. The parking lot is a decent…read moresize, but there's a small downside parking. If you're parked along the drive-thru line, it can be hard to get out of the spot with all the cars lined up behind you. Most of the time people are decent letting me back out of my spot, but there's always a few cars who just won't leave an opening. Service is always super fast, no matter how many people are in line or waiting. There's a few benches so seating so you eat there. It's always brightly lit too. I've been there with a long drive thru line where cars are backed up on Rand Rd., but don't let that deter you from going- the car line moves super fast! Just pull up the menu while you wait so you know what you want when an employee walks up to your car to take your order. Speaking of the employees taking your order - they are all super friendly, they have a smile no matter how hot or cold it is outside, and they're so patient waiting for everyone to order. I think they must have a kindness, happy, friendly detector because this Andy's has all the nicest people working here. Even the people at the window and walk up! You see them working it together in harmony inside as they make each order. It is an impressive team, no matter what time of the day we go and how busy it gets! They work like really like their job AND each other (I'm kinda jealous!) The frozen custard is so smooth and creamy. It's perfectly flavored, we get the vanilla and have tried the chocolate which is decently chocolatey! They don't skimp on the toppings either. If anything, hubs says there's sometimes not enough ice cream to balance the amount of toppings. Service is excellent. Frozen custard is excellent. Wait time is great. Definitely a must go for dessert!

Here is another good example of a restaurant somewhat frozen in time capturing the allure of trains…read moreand railways. Still outfitted with dime and gum ball machines, is still cranking out the traditional diner classics of burgers, dogs, and shakes. Meals being delivered by train zip out of the kitchen at break neck speeds right to your table or chair. Fun meal and good kid atmosphere if you're looking for something different.

06/25/26 - Dudes & Dudettes Choo Choo Restaurant been around since 1951. I grew up not too far…read moreaway from here & have been by it hundreds of times but this is the first time I have stopped in. This is a stones throw from the Des Plaines theater where me and my siblings use to catch a movie for $0.60 cents back in da day. The restaurant is kind of geared more for kids & families but I had to check it out just to say I've been here. As expected the restaurant is decorated in a Choo Choo train motif w/pictures & memorabilia of trains. There were a few adults when I got there but there was also a birthday party for 4 or 5 small girls. Ma & Pa were there & I assume maybe the mothers of one or 2 of the girls There is a small train w/baskets on it that runs from the kitchen around the counter a/small red plastic baskets carrying the food from the kitchen to where people are sitting. The train doesn't stop & runs continuously so the server has to be on the ball & pluck the food off of the baskets where the people are sitting. Other than the novelty of the train delivery the food I ordered was rather bland. They had a rather limited menu. Burgers, chicken or egg salad, garden salad & BLT sandwich. This is what I ordered. I asked for an egg on the sandwich & the server said we don't have egg? What is a BLT wo/an egg. The sandwich had some thick sliced bacon w/tomato & lettuce. It came w/a small mayonnaise pack that I had to squeeze onto the sandwich. This also came w/fries. I hate to say it but the BLT was bland & tasteless. Still I finally got a chance to come here. Will I be back? Meh probably not

I really enjoyed my lunch here and will make it a point to return again.  I've only previously been…read morehere for a Yelp sampling event back in May 2023 and also for ice cream dessert.  Our party of 5, including the 2 kiddos, had a late Friday lunch at 1pm and we were the only customers present.  The daughter has been here with her family several times and the place is usually packed with families for Friday and Saturday dinners, so good for them.  We ordered: - makhani (aka butter chicken), $12 - steamed chicken momo's (dumplings), 8 for $13 - a set of 3 various flavored tacos, $11 - 8" personal cheese pizza, $10 - dessert of 2 scoops of cookie monster ($3.99 each) and a double scoop of coffee atop ferrero rocher ($5.99) I really enjoyed my order of makhani and it was a very good and delicious deal with a lot of chicken and delicious sauce for $12.  The basmati rice serving that came with it was a bit skimpy for the amount of chicken and sauce provided though.  I would return just for that dish but would want to try some other Indian classics also.  Others in the party all enjoyed their dishes as well.  The tacos and pizza were decent deals too, but the 8 momo's were relatively pricey.  They also offer a lot of Michoacana ice cream flavors for dessert or snacks including the unique black sesame flavor that we have come in for in the past. Thumbs up, and I would say a hidden gem of a place, or it's equally possible that I've just been under a rock.

We had tacos -liked the chicken masala taco the best, the chicken tikka was pretty good too, but…read morekorean bbq taco was weird and sauces do not go together. Since masala one was good, we are going to try their masala pizza next time. The popsicles are not overly sweet and may have just pure fruit juice to sweeten only. I like that.
