The lady at the deli counter quickly transitioned to English when I ordered and smiled politely. I ordered some stuffed cabbage rolls (gołąbki) to take home for lunch and they were quite delicious.

They proudly claim to offer "The Biggest Breakfast" and they are true to their word! Since they offer ZERO fruit, I ordered a side of hash browns, which were served as a triple-sized portion. They seemed to be prepared in grease, not oil, and I found them inedible after 2 bites. My husband, who is a big, tall guy and could eat breakfast for every single meal, said that his omelette must have been made out of a dozen eggs. There was a "greasy" texture to all of his food and he found it inedible as well. This place offers some kind of ham that he was excited to try, but he spat it out into his napkin. The good? Very cute and charming "old school" diner feel, service was adequate and the prices, if you want to feel like you are eating from a dumpster, are quite good.

I ordered the "Positano" half because I liked the sound of the ingredients and half because the Amalfi coast is one of my favorite places in the world. The sandwich includes prosciutto, black olives, rocket salad, a mound of goat cheese, a vinegar dressing on ciabatta. Even with my usual large appetite I barely finished half, but that's ok, it was a great leftover breakfast the next day. I can't wait to return, so many sandwiches I want to try, and I'm going to challenge the owner to come up with some combinations of my own devising.

We ordered some drinks (no one got alcohol) and some appetizers. We got the Low Carb Yuka Fries and while that is not my bag, they were good. I was pleasantly surprised. We also had the roasted red pepper spread, which everyone enjoyed. Two of us ordered the Ultimate Steak Sandwich. I opted to removed the caramelized onions. The other person let them on. I also removed the garlic herb sauce but replaced it with a chimichurri sauce. That really kicked it up a notch and was good for dipping the fries in. They're fresh cut fries, so they were good on their own, but the chimichurri again kicked it up a notch. We also ordered the chicken bowl, the avocado salad, and the Greek style lamb chops. We all loved our food and were too full for dessert. It's a quaint little place, cozy for intimate conversation or a night out with family and friends. I think the night was made a little more fun when a couple came in and was seated at a counter height table and were making out all night. It was a lot and gratuitous. The table next to them were visibly uncomfortable and that made it all the more enjoyable to witness. Dinner and a show. Who knew?

I have lived in Mount Prospect for over 25 years, but still didn't know where to cop delicious tamales so I turned to my fellow Yelpies for help. The number one recommended place wasn't open on Mondays so I headed to the Tamaleria Y Antojitos Chepis. Even with the technology of Google Maps, it was a little difficult to find in the strip mall, but I appreciate it's location relative to my house/the gym (which is where I was prior to this sidequest!). As soon as I stepped into the small establishment, which had postage signage that eating in the shop was unavailable at this time, I was warmly greeted. I had a slight panic because I didn't see tamales on the digital menu, but I shared with the gentleman behind the counter what I was looking for and he immediately checked the stock and told me he had only pork left, but in 4 different sauces. I ended up getting 6 in green sauce and 6 in red sauce. The flavors were really good! I like spicy so they were very enjoyable for me. The ratio of masa to filling was good. They retained their shape better as the days went on of me eating leftovers versus when I ate two boiling lava hot out of the bag. The tamales were wrapped in banana leaves instead of the cornhusks which tickled my half Asian brain. I enjoyed each tamale I purchased!

There was a nice high school female cashier who was also a great translator for the owners (I only assuming). The lady ran the whole place was very sweet. I not only got a dozen tamales (6 chicken verde and 6 pork verde). She had both in red as well. They alone were awesome!! I also ordered Sopa Birria for my girlfriend who loved it. I also ordered a Tostada Mary that had ham and was delicious. I got an order of tacos birria for myself. Great deal for $15.99... I'm waiting for my food and look in the back and this sweet lady is rolling masa into balls and pressing them into actual tortillas and putting them on the griddle!!! That doesn't happen anymore... ANYWHERE!!! I love Mexican food and have never had that fresh of REAL tortillas. Usually they come from a bag, nope! Fresh tortillas... It is pretty much take out and catering only. There isn't much room for dining in. It's in a small strip mall. I want to go back and try a bunch more stuff. For sure I will be back 100% Thank you for a great meal and amazing tamales!!! Patrick

We ordered breakfast last week- a steak & egg burrito and tamale plate. Burrito was delicious and their salsas are fantastic! Had to go back for tacos tonight w/ cilantro and onion. Steak is by far my favorite- excellent portion, well-seasoned & not dry. My new favorite in the area, I think. Al pastor, carnitas, and chile relleno were also great. So glad I found a new taco spot on the way home from work. I will be back! (No pictures because I devoured the food.)

On top of that, the meat portion was extremely small--definitely not what you'd expect for the price. The tamale was another letdown. It was overpriced, tiny, super dry, and wrapped in plastic, which is honestly concerning. The rice and beans tasted like they had been cooked weeks ago and reheated multiple times. There was a noticeable styrofoam/plastic smell, and the flavor came off artificial--almost chemical-like. It barely resembled real food... more like PlayDoh. The only reason I'm giving 1 star instead of zero is because the salsa (verde and roja) was actually good. I was hope at least the customer service would make up for the food, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. The cashier seemed bothered that I was even there--no warmt, no welcome, just a rushed and uncomfortable interaction. Overall, not a place I'd return
