New fast casual Mexican alert in the Hoffman Estates area! Located in the Poplar Prairie Stone Crossing center, I was excited to visit Taco Lamas after seeing another Yelper visit. The menu offers a variety of tacos, bowls, sides, drinks, and more. One orders at the kiosk, pays, then patiently waits for food to be ready. They offer (2) free sauces- fire garlic sauce & avocado crema salsa. I ordered the burrito with ground beef which was a good portion but didn't taste greasy like some fast casual spots. I had wished there was more sour cream or a thicker sauce to pair better with it. My fiancé ordered the three taco dinner which also came with a side choice and medium drink. I tried a sip of his horchata which leaned on the sweet side over spiced side. The Elote was his side which was a bit heavy on the cheese. He really enjoyed his three tacos! His favorite was the Spicy Clucker but Quesabirria and Dalai Lama were close behind. The only draw back was some tacos are a premium charge on top of the $16 meal cost. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Taco Lamas! They can work on creating more signature flavors for items outside of their tacos. Either way, food tasted fresh and not greasy/heavy. read more
