For sure it wouldn't be a surprise if this were the best Mexican restaurant in Peotone, because it may be the only one in town of course. It has a lack of competition, and sometimes there's also a lack of flavor or spiciness. Del Carmen is a small place with a family owned atmosphere. Prices are pretty good for the big portions. There's the typical items like margaritas, and the food like burritos and tacos.
Came at lunch and it wasn't busy. It only has a few tables but there was plenty of room inside. There's also a gaming area of video slots. Has a pretty casual atmosphere. This looks like it used to be a fast food restaurant. Parking lot still has the drive thru markings and menu. To be honest the building looks kind of dumpy, but it's better inside though. As for what to get, we had some good choices. The drink menu of course includes margaritas. It's about $6 for the small, and these still were pretty big glasses. Margaritas were authentic, as in saltier than the ones usually served. As for the food we got some of the basics. The Burrito comes with choice of protein, or you can get the Vegetariano. It's about $8 for this one. This was filled with beans, cheese, which I left out, lettuce, and tomatoes. Just okay, but it still wasn't bad. There's of course free chips and salsa.
Has lots of classic Mexican American items. It's not that authentic to be honest, but it's certainly better than Taco Bell shit. There's plenty of good drinks, and the food menu includes burritos, tortas, and options for meat eaters and vegetarians. read more
