    Steak Burrito Suizo (without sour cream)
    Kevin R.

    Absolutely delicious!!! I have become a regular when I am in the burbs of Chicago as their burritos are ADDICTING! I get the steak burrito and add "suizo" (enchilada sauce and cheese on top) and while the burrito is really good sized, I get one to take home too! Staff is friendly and the food comes out fast. Muy muy bueno!!!

    Fries
    Pooja P.

    Stopped by here with my friend for lunch and the food didn't disappoint! I got an enchilada combo and got fries instead of rice and beans. I tried both the red and green enchilada and the green (verde) sauce was my favorite. The staff is super friendly and the restaurant has a good amount of seating if you're going with a small group! I'd be back and can't wait to try other items off the menu.

    two tacos on a table
    Mirella K.

    3 years later and I still feel the same! El Famous Burrito is one of my favorite Mexican taco places ever. They by far have the best al pastor in the area in my opinion. When I come here, my go-to order is 2 al pastor tacos and 1 carne asada tacos with onion, cilantro, and lettuce. I sometimes get their market guacamole on the side which comes with chips, sooo yummy! Their salsa verde and rojo are to die for, as well. Friendly service, plenty of parking space, and hard working cooks who make bomb tacos and burritos. It's a cute, authentic Mexican food joint known for tacos and burritos. I highly recommend if you're looking for a cheap, yummy Mexican meal!

    Great food and never disappointed must try this place if you haven't the service is fast and my go to spot

    Nachos
    Rebecca A.

    I am a sucker for their nachos. Instead of a pile of chips with stuff glopped over it. Evenly distributed beans and cheese on a tostada. My OCD loves the orderliness of it. Their pickled jalapeños are my favorite. I could eat a jar of them!

On this particular Saturday, it took a while to get service, but we enjoyed our drinks - I loved my spicy roasted pineapple margarita - and complementary delicious chips and salsa. We also got the ceviche for the table - this was an interesting take on ceviche in a red cocktail sauce in a martini glass. It was tasty and refreshing to start. I also got the azteca salad with salmon as my entree - the salad portion was big, but the salmon was small and overcooked a bit. My fiance's combination fajitas of steak and shrimp were delicious though with lots of veggies and toppings.

I have lived in Mount Prospect for over 25 years, but still didn't know where to cop delicious tamales so I turned to my fellow Yelpies for help. The number one recommended place wasn't open on Mondays so I headed to the Tamaleria Y Antojitos Chepis. Even with the technology of Google Maps, it was a little difficult to find in the strip mall, but I appreciate it's location relative to my house/the gym (which is where I was prior to this sidequest!). As soon as I stepped into the small establishment, which had postage signage that eating in the shop was unavailable at this time, I was warmly greeted. I had a slight panic because I didn't see tamales on the digital menu, but I shared with the gentleman behind the counter what I was looking for and he immediately checked the stock and told me he had only pork left, but in 4 different sauces. I ended up getting 6 in green sauce and 6 in red sauce. The flavors were really good! I like spicy so they were very enjoyable for me. The ratio of masa to filling was good. They retained their shape better as the days went on of me eating leftovers versus when I ate two boiling lava hot out of the bag. The tamales were wrapped in banana leaves instead of the cornhusks which tickled my half Asian brain. I enjoyed each tamale I purchased!

There was a nice high school female cashier who was also a great translator for the owners (I only assuming). The lady ran the whole place was very sweet. I not only got a dozen tamales (6 chicken verde and 6 pork verde). She had both in red as well. They alone were awesome!! I also ordered Sopa Birria for my girlfriend who loved it. I also ordered a Tostada Mary that had ham and was delicious. I got an order of tacos birria for myself. Great deal for $15.99... I'm waiting for my food and look in the back and this sweet lady is rolling masa into balls and pressing them into actual tortillas and putting them on the griddle!!! That doesn't happen anymore... ANYWHERE!!! I love Mexican food and have never had that fresh of REAL tortillas. Usually they come from a bag, nope! Fresh tortillas... It is pretty much take out and catering only. There isn't much room for dining in. It's in a small strip mall. I want to go back and try a bunch more stuff. For sure I will be back 100% Thank you for a great meal and amazing tamales!!! Patrick

It's located inside a grocery store (which is how you just know it's going to be good!). We've ordered so many times before and are always amazed at how good everything tastes. We love the carne asada quesadillas for our kids, and al pastor tacos, lengua is always good but not always available depending on whether you order online vs. over the phone/in-person. We ordered all the fixings for a taco bar for a small family party recently, and I cannot recommend this more! Seriously, they are so kind and so accommodating--they thought of everything. They wrapped the salsas in saran wrap on top of the containers they were packed in to prevent any leaks. They provided serving utensils for all the meats and sides. They even packaged everything up in a crate (not just a cardboard box) and helped my husband bring it to the car! And the lady insisted our daughter pick out so many lollipops for her and her cousins for no charge. They were so quick with communication when my husband was inquiring about prices too. What we got with our order: - Carne asada - Al pastor - Rice and beans - Corn tortillas - Chips and guacamole (spicy though) - Onions, cilantro, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese - Red and green salsas
