Mexican Restaurant $ 4.3Google (448)


Isidro's Tamales & Taqueria is well-regarded for its authentic Mexican food, particularly its tamales and tacos. Many customers appreciate the quality of the food, suggesting it's among the best in Kankakee. However, the dining experience is often marred by inconsistent service and a cramped atmosphere, as it primarily operates as a carry-out spot.

" The food is definitely authentic and delicious! I tried their tamales and they were to die for. However, the service left a lot to be desired. The wait time felt excessive, and my order was overlooked. But don't let that stop you from checking them out. The food is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty disappointing experience here. The tamales were dry and lacked real flavor compared to what I am used to. Plus, the service felt rushed and unfriendly. I had such high hopes after reading all the reviews, but it didn't live up to the expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to like this place after hearing so many good things. Unfortunately, I faced some major issues during my lunch visit. The staff seemed unorganized and I received the wrong tacos. Moreover, the place felt cramped and uncomfortable to eat in. However, I will give them another shot because the food itself does have potential! " (*Curated Review*)

" Isidro's is truly a hidden gem for authentic Mexican cuisine! Every time I visit, I'm blown away by how great the food is. Their horchata is a refreshing compliment to the rich flavors of the tacos. Service can be hit-or-miss, but when it’s good, it's fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very excited to visit Isidro's but found the overall experience disappointing. The drinks were not fresh, and my tacos seemed bland. I ended up leaving dissatisfied. I'll consider giving it another chance for the sake of an authentic bite in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Isidro's after hearing raving reviews for years. Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed. The food took far too long to prepare and didn't live up to the hype. I might give it a second chance since the flavors seem promising. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Isidro's, and it certainly won’t be my last! I tried their famous tamales and was thoroughly impressed. They were extremely moist and packed with flavor. The place is tiny, though, with no dine-in option, which can be a bit of a bummer if you're looking for a sit-down meal. Regardless, it's perfect for takeout! Will definitely try more items next time. " (*Curated Review*)
