Only came here once and had the chilaquiles Verdes! They were pretty good. I wish they were a bit more spicy but overall still pretty good and not sweet like most places! I'm looking forward to visiting here again and trying out different menu items read more

very disappointed cross this place off my list just unbelievable BAD Ordered tamales greasy Steak tacos low grade meat tons of gristle just horrible Tried not coming back ever yuck read more

La comida está bien, pero el servicio está demasiado lento al momento de ordenar y al momento de traer la orden. Cuando tú ordenas por ejemplo que te traigan los tamales antes de tu comida y te los traen todo al mismo tiempo. En esta ocacion ordené quesadillas pero quería mis tamales antes de la orden y le pregunté a la mesera sobre mi tamal y me dijo enseguida te lo llevo, pero no pasó me trajo mis quesadillas junto con mis tamales y le dije pensé que me traerías mis tamales antes que las quesadillas y su respuesta fue " oh me ganaron hacer las quesadillas" como puede ser posible si los tamales están ya hechos. Para concluir me gustarían que pusieran atención más en ese aspecto al servicio al cliente. Servicio al cliente incluye todo: comida, atención al cliente. Espero este comentario no sea ofensivo, y sea constructivo para mejorar el servicio. Gracias, Alex read more

Clean atmosphere. Friendly staff. Fresh delicious tamales. Wish there was more varieties.

Delicious. Cute place and very nice people. Been there a few times now everything very good. Tonight saw someone with a taco salad, definitely getting that next time. Dinner for 2 dine in and 12 tamales and 4 banana leaf tamales to go $68. read more

Tamales Don Misael - Chicken mole tamale - Mexican Near Me - Lyons, Illinois

Great food! This is a GREAT place. Good prices and tasty tamales. This is not a fancy place but it is very clean and cute. Parking can be tight but you can find street parking. read more

Amazing tacos! Each time I drive by I stop by to get food for dinner! Fast service. I don't know why it has to be 85 characters for review.

All the waiting was not worth it. The Tamales at newly opened Don Misael are just wrong. The mouth feel and texture lack authenticity. I suspect it's because too much or substandard lard is used and a way too smooth masa is the result. The filling is fine but the slick instead of textured maize ruins the experience. Oh well, maybe some of the other offerings are better. read more

The best green chicken tamales ever! Slightly spicy with great flavor and freshly made. I'm hooked.

My girlfriend and I live right down the street and I can honestly say it's one of the many blessings of living in this area. We've eaten Mexican food in every part of the United States and Don Misael is hands down the best by a long shot. The meat is cooked so perfectly, it's tender and is juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The tamales are incredible, and the tacos are our favorite tacos in Chicago, and that's saying something because Chicago has really good Mexican food. The staff is always kind and welcoming. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Mexican experience. You definitely won't be disappointed. read more

always delicious for a good breakfast that seems like a good home cooked meal. great tamales and atole de guayaba!

Great tamales good customer service and the price for the dozen is an amazing deal i come here all the time

I am so sorry to have to update my review. Unfortunately, you never know what you're going to get in this restaurant. Most of the time the food is delicious. And then today for example, I ordered enchiladas de mole, which I have had twice before and I loved them. Today, it appears someone just threw tortillas in the container and a little mole on top. They did not even bother to make the enchiladas, roll them, and add enough mole. I called and was told I could bring them back for a refund. Not worth it. Is just so frustrating that a restaurant so new already do not care at all to prepare decent food. When I know it could be great. Even the taste of the mole is not the same at all. I have been many times at this restaurant with my family, and a friend. Trying to help the local businesses because I know how hard it is for them. Unfortunately, I won't be back. I cannot have a taste or a peek in my food every time to try to decide if I want it or not. Today is like a 5 year old tried to prepare my food. Another time I had to throw away some tamales. They had a weird after taste. I'm done. read more

Have been waiting for this place to open. One word - fantastic! Food is authentic, flavorful and delicious. The service was exceptional - friendly and attentive (just the right balance - not too attentive). We enjoyed the tamale with pollo and mole, huevos divorciados and tacos de carne asada. Oh and the cafe de olla is spot on. Yummy. Come support this local spot. read more

Today was their grand opening! My daughter and I stopped in to enjoy some Tamales Roja and the Tamales that are verde. I also tried their chile rellano taco and was not disappointed. The restaurant is super cute inside, a bit small, but better than what I had expected. I truly enjoyed their tamales and will be back for more! read more

Finally got to try after much anticipation so of course the first thing we had to try was the red pork tamales. I give them a 10 out of 10. Very moist, great chili flavor, the ratio to meat and masa was on point! Also tried the champorado and it was perfect! Will be going back to try more things on their menu read more

Always the best tamales! We came here after Brookfield Zoo. Fresh made tortillas. So worth it.

New to the neighborhood and I think we just found out new favorite place!!!! Seriously LOVED everything we got. Pork tamale with green sauce, jalapeño and cheese tamale with green sauce with the sour cream and cheese on them. Carne asada tacos and pork tacos!! LOVE!!! Will definitely be back. read more

Good dining experience. The coffer was very good. The red sauce with the pork dish was a bit too much. Not as flavorful as El Milagro. I will pass on this We ordered tamales and they were very good. Will try again . read more

Food was good but service leaves a whole lot to be desired. My friend and I were the only ones there at the time, and service was pathetic. Got my soda can unopened, no glass, no straw. After asking for it, had to wait a while, even after food was set. Asked for napkins, and they never arrived, so I pulled napkin from my purse. Finally got the check which included charges for someone else's order. The lack of attention was of great disappointment. While food was good, I will not return to be treated like they are doing me a favor. read more

I called in an order for Enchiladas dinner and Carne asada dinner. We received 4 tamales in our order. This is completely bizarre to me. read more

We really like the tamales, .weve gone twice a week for the last month, That being said,, we went there for dinner again, tonight.. they are open till 9;00 we got there at 8:05.. sat , down, and waited for a little over 5 minutes or so.. waitress came up to us and said, I'm sorry we're closing.. I said, I thought you closed at 9:00, (as we always go at 8:00 because the y serve you fast) she said, we do, but the kitchen closes at 8:30.... really? we still had time to order! we left very disappointed! .. not sure if we'll go back.. usually spend a decent amount there.. oh well ... read more

The food is very good and a nice selection. The chips could be better. Glad it finally opened. The waitress is very friendly.

Los tamales fueron muy ricos aquí, los recomiendo a todos en el area, también el servicio es muy bueno.

Great food and fast service. Would recommend the pollo guisado tacos and the tamales.

I've been looking for authentic tamales with just rhe right amout of masa to meat and sauce...guess what??? I found them...yep, right here! I had cheese and jalapeno, green chicken, red chicken and a side of rice...so good! read more

The food is pretty good as we have eaten here in the past, but the service is not so good. My family and I arrived at 8:10PM hoping to eat a good meal. As soon as we walked in the kid in the front pulled out his phone to check the time and then said something to another worker. I walked by outside to check out the hours and it says it closes at 9PM. After being ignored for 5 min the kid said they are closing. Geez, why make us wait only to tell us that they are closing. Oh, they should update their closing time to 8PM. SMH read more

Great tamales very close to home made! Atole and champurado are spot on!! And friendly service and very accomodating.

First visit today. Picked up a dozen mixed tamales to take home. Each one was delicious. Excellent flavors. Not dry. Perfect texture. Will definitely be a return customer. Looking forward to trying other offerings from their menu too. Dinners and soups sound good. read more

Food is delicious and the portions, are adequate. Pricing is good as well. Service is great

Just finished two chicken filled tamales and they were delicious. Nice authentic presentation with just the right amount of kick. Couldn't have put more chicken in them if you tried. Very nice staff. I will be a returning customer. read more

Got a dozen pork tamales mixed green and red and they are very good! They are big, full of flavor and not dry! I haven't tried anything else, but I was kind of only expecting tamales. I think it's super cool that this is their main dish as not many places offer tamales like this. The server was sweet and quick. Will definitely be back for more! read more

This was the first time we tried this restaurant; I'm glad we did, the food was delicious! We tried tamales oaxaqueños of mole and green chicken. We also had albóndigas, it came with two large meatballs in vegetable soup. The camarones a la diabla were pretty good too. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be returning. read more

Not going to lie the tamales are good. But this particular morning I had driven way out of my way (yes w/ these gas prices) for an espresso that they clearly had on their menu and for which they have a nice display. However, dear customers a tragedy occurred, they don't actually make expressos! Will maybe be back. read more

Love this place. The tamales are big and tasty. Do not recommend anything else offered. The other items are not that great. But, their specialty is TAMALES and they provide some of the best around! Its little pricey for the dozen, but the size of the tamales helps ease the sticker shock a bit. read more
