    La Familia - Chips and Salsa

    La Familia

    When it comes to a place like this, which is clearly a family-run "mom-and-pop" shop, I want to be…read morea little more lenient. I recognize they are operating in a different environment, especially being over two hours away from the competition found in Chicago. In any case, I found myself hungry in Rock Falls, so I stopped in at La Familia. I had the opportunity to try a carnitas taco, an al pastor taco, and a tamale. I also ordered an horchata to drink. The food was a mixed bag, but with some notable high points. The highlight of the meal was the tamale. The exterior was soft and flavorful, and the interior was appropriately meaty with a good, mild flavor. I believe this was my first experience with a tamale, and it was an enjoyable one at that. For the tacos, I appreciated that the proteins, onion, and cilantro were all in balance and that they didn't skimp on the meat. I am a traditionalist and asked for my tacos with just onion and cilantro, rather than their standard of lettuce, tomato, and cheese. While the meat had a mild flavor and wasn't completely bland, it needed something more to stand on its own. To be fair, there is salsa, lime, and two varieties of El Yucateco hot sauce available. However, being the purist I am, it is my belief that food should be able to stand alone without condiments. That said, with these tacos, it felt like something was lacking--perhaps sauce, crema, or pineapple with the al pastor. I'd also like to call out the complimentary chips and salsa offered at the beginning of the meal. I loved that the salsa was served in a little spouted container and that the tortilla chips were clearly homemade. They were a bit unusual, with layers flaking off (not a bad thing, just not often seen in restaurants). I also liked that they had a little bit of salt... far too many places skip that, and how can you skip the salt? My horchata was an absolute delight with great flavor. It was a tad sweet for my taste, but that's more a matter of personal preference than a technical issue. The service was a major highlight. It was very kind, knowledgeable, and attentive. The staff was also quick and efficient. Final Verdict: La Familia is very solid and respectable as a family-run, home-cooking-style restaurant. While to be 100% honest it doesn't hold a candle to some of the things you might find in downtown Chicago, Pilsen, or Cicero, that isn't the expectation. With this in mind, it does its job well. While I'm not going to come all the way back to Rock Falls just to eat here, when I find myself in town, I can't say I would be totally against it.

    Phenomenal spot I travel quite a bit . It's hard to find good food around here and this is…read moredefinitely one that hit home for me. . And the service is incredible. Very clean.

    It's the usual Chinese buffet fare, except they did have some dishes I don't usually find. Coconut…read morechicken was good, peanut butter chicken (crispy on the outside in a peanut butter sauce) the sushi was limited but I don't come to a Chinese buffet for sushi really. The egg rolls were good, I've been to some restaurants where they were virtually tasteless, but these were pretty good. I'd definitely come back, and the price wasn't terrible.

    Well, they're always open that's for sure but too many times I come in and I get the General's…read morechicken and there's very little meat in it and it's all stuffing and then when I check out the lady puts her hand on the scale like that old saying, they put some on the scale not cool Plus it's against the law to have a scale that doesn't tell you how much your pain it works. They tell you that it's broken but it's not it works. They just don't put it on so they can cheat you. Unfortunately that's what they're doing and I told them to their faces that they're cheating me so I'm going to stop coming here because I'm sick of being cheated and if you're sick of being cheated, eat somewhere else or make them fix the scale so that you can see the price and what you're buying some people buy a lot of food in with them playing games like putting their hand on a scale when it reads it, come on the act like we're really stupid a lot of Chinese people act like Americans are very stupid. It's not cool at all. It's racist.
