    Asada burrito
    Miguel A.

    The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made me feel right at home. Looking at the menu was tough so many delicious sounding things, I had a hard time choosing! I ended up grabbing an asada burrito to go, and let me tell you, it was ready in a flash! Seriously, I barely finished paying and it was already done. I also got an horchata, it was so refreshing! I wish they had a larger size, though, because I could have easily drunk twice as much. They keep them chilled in a fridge, which is a nice touch. That first bite of the burrito? Forget about it! Absolutely incredible. I sampled all their salsas, and they were all fantastic. My personal favorites were the red and green ones. The habanero salsa had a great kick, but the flavor wasn't quite my thing.

    3 Taco Dinner with Rice & Beans Carne Asade, Carnitos, Al Pastor
    Benjamin J.

    Don't let the plain name confuse you. For such a simple restaurant title, Taco Shop, actually delivers good mexican food. The ambience and vibes of this cute little place is comforting. Didn't know any lyrics to songs but I was jamming and wiggling to each song The Food. Wonderful. The tacos were all well seasoned and flavorful. Only issue I had was with the carne asada and carnitas were a tad dry, but the flavor profile was still there. Maybe I got the end of the batch since we ordered about a hour or two till closing. However, the flavors of the tacos hit the Umami, Savor and just the right amount of heat came from the added salsas. By far the Al Pastor was the tastiest, so y'all have to give that one a go. Chips and Guac... can't say much. just flat out great guacamole and salty crispy tortillas chips . nothing beats it Overall, loved the vibes, food and the staff. All very genuine people and welcoming. Would come again the next time i'm in the mood for the mexican food ‍

    Food and service are excellent at a good value. Only place where a taco by itself satisfied as a meal.

    Had the burrito suizo. It was about 75-80% rice inside. I didn't order a rice cake. 2 star was a push.

    I found not one, but TWO babies in the Rosca de Reyes so I knew I had to step up and get some…read moretamales on Monday, February 2nd. 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!

    I stopped there originally to get some tamales today. Heard they had really good tamales by the…read moredozen. I went in and saw some of the things on the menu and decided to try some stuff. 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
