    The salsa was fermented and the waiter did not care. The salsa was fermented and the waiter did not care.

    I've been coming here for nearly 30 years for their tamales all the way from Benton, IL. These are…read moreamazing

    Forgot to check in here twice, but came here 2 days in a row. Small hole in the wall with pleasant…read morestaff. Male in front was helpful and is always the one working the front I hear. I ordered multiple tacos, tostadas, quesadilla with meat, and tamales. I got all the meats to try them all. Tamales only come in pork though. Food was authentic and tasted fresh. Loved the tacos. Has a corn tortilla. 2 soft tortillas for every taco to hold it together. Lime and green sauce (mild) add that nice kick to take it to the next level. Toastada was fine. Crunchy shell, but I would rather spend the money on tacos and tamales. Quesadilla was good. Right amount of natural melted cheese (white) and did not ooze out of quesadilla. Got chicken. Tamales came with the corn husk. Tasted great. Corn dough or masa was soft and had good texture. Slightly wet though from the steam I suppose. All of them come in pork only, and mine did not have much pork in it. Got the guava jarritos and the green apple soda the second time. Now to talk about some meat! Steak - thinly, small cut. Crispy and chewy. Perfect balance of spices/flavor, but not overpowering taste of the steak. Chicken - tender, small shredded. I do not think spices are added to this one or you can not really tell. Pork - tender. Good and also plain (no to little spices added to me) Tongue - very tender. Had lots of natural flavor. If you never had it, it's worth a shot. Better not to know until you've already eaten it :) Chorizo (sausage)- has a spicy kick and lots of spices on this one. Makes the meat orange/red in color. Meat is crispy. The next day I came back again in the late afternoon and they ran out of Chile relleno and tamales :( I guess you have to get there earlier or quicker than the rush. The employee told me you can call ahead so they can reserve some for you if needed (he could tell I was sad). The Chile relleno varies in spiciness so it's a fun/dangerous gamble.

    When I review restaurants, I am often asked about the food, the service, and the ambience. First,…read moreI'll start with the last - ambience. This restaurant is well decorated and taken care of. When you arrive at the large expeditious parking area and you come inside, immediately you feel like you are in an authentic Mexican environment, complete with natural native music - at the proper volume level. Next, service, since I speak Spanish, I enjoy speaking with the staff, however, they treat everyone in a cordial manner. My wait for food to arrive on the table was normal, and I did not see anyone complaining. Finally, the delicious filling food is excellent, and again, I hate to use the word redundantly but, it is very authentic and properly spiced. I have had the taco salad in both chicken and beef, which unlike many others, has more than enough sour cream and guacamole to enhance the dish. Today I opted for an appetizer, the shrimp cocktail. This dish is rather deceiving. You only see four shrimp on top, garnished by lime slices. However, in the sweet relish sauce, you will find more tender fresh plump shrimp. A wonderful beautiful cool dish for a hot day. I would encourage everyone to come by and not only enjoy the restaurant, but the magnificent view of the largest man-made lake in Illinois - Carlyle Lake. Next time, I am going to have the combination shrimp, steak, and chicken tropical pina fajita served on a pineapple half, or maybe, perhaps the Pollo Fiesta. We shall see. Until then "Tener un apetito agradable!"
