Plus you know they are safe to eat vs a street vendor. I knew a lady that worked at the airport in the terminal I work at that made great tamales and hers don't come close. Ordered the chicken with both the red and green sauce. I mean they are ear to ear with chicken. They are huge. And for $1.85 it's like a TB to the early 2000s price wise. Definitely going back. Might pick some up for a Super Bowl party.

First time visiting this new location that recently opened down the street from my home. I wanted…read moreto try their tamales -- service was friendly, and the ambience was okay, though I was a little disappointed to see there's only one table for dine-in. It's a pretty large space mostly set up for takeout. I also purchased some champurrado, which was made from rice and other ingredients. I was hoping for the traditional chocolate version, but they didn't have it. Prices were fair for the tamales, though the drinks felt a bit overpriced. The tamales had good flavor overall -- a bit on the salty side, and the green tamales could've used more spice. The meat portions were a little light, but still decent. They offer both chicken and pork, so make sure to choose your preference. One thing to note: there's an extra service charge when paying by credit card. I ordered four dozen tamales plus two drinks and paid $100.90 due to the added fee. If you plan to visit, I'd recommend bringing cash to avoid the extra charge.

I was actually pretty impressed by this place! This is more of a 4.5 star review, but I can bump it…read moreup because maybe it was just a "bad night". If you are looking for a good ol Mexican place, this is the place for you! They do take reservations and are pretty sizable. We went on Saturday night which was a bit crazy. It was very crowded and we were concerned about the service. While the service was a little bit on the slower side and we were there for almost 90 minutes, all the food came out hot and delicious. I got the Enchiladas in Mole Sauce which was excellent. It also came with a soup or salad which was a nice surprise. I went with the black bean soup which was great! If there was any downside, my House Margarita tasted a little weird. I probably could have complained, but I kept with it. Pretty good size, but I think there was a little too much tequila in it! Either way, this place isn't inexpensive, but you do get quite a bit of food and everybody at my table enjoyed their meal. Sometimes thats enough! This is a great icon in this part of Chicago/Rosemont.

Maria's has gone downhill!…read more Very disappointed with Maria's today. I'm never going back after what happened today. First of all, there's nothing vegan on the menu. So when I usually order veggie tacos or they're called vegetariano I used to have a good time with them. This time, I ordered the vegetariano tacos and I said no cheese and I also ordered the black bean soup. The black bean soup came with a whole bunch of grated cheese on top of it. She dumped it on the table and left.She just walked away. In my mind, the waitress was telling me to uck off. I could be wrong. Instead of waiting for her to come back and sending the soup back, I scooped up all the grated cheese and threw it on the plate next to me and ate the black bean soup. When the veggie tacos came, there was no salsa. So I waited for the waitress to come back, and I said, I want some green and red salsa, and she brought me two bottles of hot sauce and left. So my sister asked the busboy in spanish, "green and red salsa" and he said, okay, I'll get it for you. He didn't, the waitress came back, and we told her I wanted green and red salsa, and she told me the green salsa was very hot. I told her to take back the veggie tacos cause they're cold already, and I can't eat them. Wth all this back-and-forth, I'm now in front of naf knaf grill, and I'm gonna get some falafel there. What a waste of time I'm never going back to marias, again, never, never never never! I think the waitress did not speak English that well too bad. So sad, i'm never going there again and I eat veggie tacos several times a week, and many other places which are better than maria's. If you're thinking about going there, forget it, there's much better places out there in this world that are vegan friendly.

First and foremost, the affordability vs the amount you get is more than decent.

There are so many Mexican restaurants in Chicago's northwest neighborhoods and nearby northwestern…read moresuburbs that this isn't a place I"ll probably be at soon. I was here with a small group, a local book club that I attended. There were six of us. The server said they couldn't do separate checks because it was too busy, though there were only about another five or six tables of folks here (if that). My food was just ok, as was the Paloma I ordered--thankful that it was during happy hour, at least, because I only took a couple sips of the Paloma before I decided I couldn't drink it even if I had paid for it. The service wasn't great throughout--we didn't get visited much and had to ask for more salsa and whatnot rather than being asked if we wanted more. But the worst part was when we were ready to wrap up. It took at least 40 minutes for us to get our check and get settled. I had been thinking I probably wouldn't make it to another meeting because I hadn't expected to be gone for a couple hours, but others mentioned they'd made plans after the book club and specifically mentioned that they usually weren't that long (it was my first time meeting with the club). We paid with cash and card, and made note of what was what, but somehow the guy got it totally messed up and we waited 15 minutes for them to cash us out after he took our cards. Had they just given us individual tickets from the start they'd have been done in a fraction of the time, so that was super frustrating. As I said, the food was just ok and with many other places around (at least a couple at which I've eaten and were pretty good) I don't need to come back unless for some reason the book club makes its way back here again. Parking is street only.
