They recently reprinted the menus (the food offerings are the same) and it's very colorful, matching the colorful, fun interior! There were three salsas ranging in heat, but I stuck to mild and medium- both delicious! My mom and I split the 3 taco dinner and got shrimp and fish tacos with rice and beans. Very tasty! Can't wait to be back!

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!

For me, an alright Cilantro Taco Grill location. On the positive side, the location is good,…read moreconveniently located in the downtown Arlington Heights area and fairly easy to get to. The interior is fairly spacious and nicely decorated with plenty of seating. The signage is also attractive looking as well. Menu items are priced fairly reasonably, particularly on Tuesday where there are $2 tacos available. I do also like how you have the choice to put cilantro or tomatoes/lettuce, and corn or flour tortillas. On the negative end, the service is a bit slow here -- even when they aren't very busy. This is much slower than expected for a similar restaurant, as I waited probably close to 10 minutes for my simple order of tacos, despite only 1 order being ahead of me. The food itself was also a bit bland for me - even after adding salsa in. The chicken, carnitas, and ground beef were a bit indistinct in texture and flavors for me - with the pastor being a slight improvement, but nothing like the flavorful preparations available at other local taco spots. Overall, an alright option if you need tacos near the downtown Arlington Heights area, but for me there are tastier options nearby for a similar price.

We went pretty early on a Sunday for dinner and it was already filling up. Service was great. We were greeted and offered help. When ready, we ordered and food was out quickly. The enchiladas were pretty good! You get three and you get to choose the protein and sauce. I chose the Ranchero Sauce. I was able to get a red sauce and green sauce on the side. The Ranchero Sauce was pretty mild. I was expecting a little kick, but there wasn't. I did throw some of the red sauce they gave me on the side to spice it up and it helped! They also gave me a verde sauce which was also mild. The burrito was stuffed and filling. We were full all evening from our dinner. Value, everything cost under $30, which is good. The food was very good, but be sure to request something spicy, if you want it that way.

This is a small storefront and I think the picture of this place is in the dictionary for 'hole in the wall'! It's a small restaurant in a small strip mall on Rand. Easy to drive by but if you are hungry for good Mexican, this is the place to stop at. The restaurant is clean and the service was pretty fast. I was relieved they do not put fries in the burrito!! The burrito was very tasty and all the ingredients were fresh tasting. Red and green salsa came with the burrito and they were very nice - the red had some good heat and the green had a very nice herbaceous flavor. I'll gladly eat here again!

There's clear evidence of a locking mechanism that is not approved fire egress hardware. The other door is simply locked from inside and has high chairs in front of it. Move your dang high chairs and make your place at least fire code compliant before you charge these premiums. Also, maybe used closed captions for that telemundo news broadcast maybe?!
