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.

" I stopped by Isidro's on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The flavor of the tacos made the experience worthwhile. The staff was friendly, and I felt welcomed. My only complaint is that the place was crowded and noisy. But for takeout, this is the spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been loyal to Isidro's for years because of their delicious tacos. They really know how to cook authentic Mexican food. Although the service can be hit or miss, the flavor of the food always keeps me coming back. This place is a true gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Isidro's can be described as amazing if you love authentic Mexican flavors! The portions were generous, and everything I ordered just hit the spot. I will warn potential diners that the wait can be long, especially during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I would say my experience at Isidro's was average. The food was decent, especially the tamales. However, I did find it overpriced for the portion sizes and the service was frustratingly slow. I wish they would work on these issues, as the food has great potential. " (*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*)
