Known solely for its polish sausages, I recently discovered that Tello's Beef Maxwell St had a fish…read moresandwich on its menu. After discovering that, it had my interest in visiting being that I recently made the transition to pescatarian some time ago, and am always up to trying different restaurants in the area. Tello's sits amongst a strip of restaurants that I am very familiar with along W Roosevelt Rd in Maywood. And its 5.0 star rating out of 19 on Uber Eats was the assurance I needed that I would have a quality ordering experience.
Now outside of the fish sandwich on the menu, I took interest in the Mexican style items featured such as their taco, burrito, and giant quesadilla with fries. As like the fish sandwich, I did not expect to see them featured on the menu of a restaurant known for polish sausages. As much as I wanted tacos during this ordering experience, I had to choose something else because there was no option to remove the meat which was a huge bummer at the time. So, I chose the next best thing, the giant quesadilla which came with fries; and the quesadilla had the without meat option. Inside the quesadilla I topped it with grilled onions, lettuce, and tomato which totally made my mouth salivate while putting together my order. Whether it be Grubhub or Uber Eats, I love ordering online because it is convenient, plus I can schedule when I would like to pick it up. Most of the time my orders are completed upon my arrival or near complete. By the time I arrived at Tello's my order was being finished behind the counter. Grateful to have had a smooth online ordering experience because the likelihood of me ordering online again at the location is very high.
As for my food, the quesadilla was huge as its name states, "giant quesadilla". Underneath it were the fries which I anticipated being somewhere merged in with the main item which always adds to the greasy experience. Ordering from Maxwell, you can always expect your fries to be buried in with your main item, which is one thing that makes them stand out amongst other restaurants. The fries were plain and I loved that they were not salted at all. Now my whole entire time eating the quesadilla, I tried my best to keep the toppings from falling out, which was so juicy and satisfying! I do not order quesadilla's often, but when I do again I believe it will be from Tello's. I swear my hospital scrubs top nearly busted open in the mid-section after I finished eating their quesadilla. One thing for sure is that it left me satisfied, * chef's kiss *. Here is a poem for your enjoyment to sum up how I felt after eating the giant quesadilla.
One quesadilla, "giant" as a door,
I couldn't stop at three bites, I needed four.
Now Tello's finest is sitting deep,
And these scrubs have promises they cannot keep.
The V-neck's straining, the side-seams pray,
I'm one deep breath from a wardrobe display.
Forget the charting, forget the "rounds,"
I'm currently breaking all physical bounds.
So if a button flies and hits the wall,
Just know I'm full and I had a ball.
The gauze is ready, the tape is near,
But the "Quesadilla Coma" is finally here.
After this ordering experience with Tello's Beef Maxwell St, I am very open to visiting and ordering from again outside of my favorites in the immediate area along Roosevelt Rd. And with that said, I share my endorsement of Tello's with you all on yelp.
Ambiance: 3 1/2 | Service: 4 | Food: 4 | Overall: 4
